Just another violation of the Second Amendment.
“Smart” guns are playing right into the anti2A crowds hands. Any company offering a “smart” gun should be boycotted right out of business ASAP.
Only an idiot would buy a smart gun.
I might listen when the technology is demonstrated in the following manner;
The bizjet of the guy wanting to sell this technology, the airlines, and Air Force One all install the same system. Airplanes are abused, stolen, hijacked, and flown into buildings.
The planes should be built so that the authorized user must wear a special RFID wristwatch. If the watch isn’t in communication with the fuel pumps, they will shut down and prevent flight.
I wouldn’t fly in such a plane where the failure of such a link would shut down the engines in flight.
You first A-holes.
LE should demo them for a year. If they work, LE can make them standard equipment for all LEOs. In five years they can analyze the data and measure the effectiveness on LE equipment thefts/shootings. Trump-esque solution to LE inspired/requested 2A amendments.
Smart guns are stupid.
I think it’s about ensuring cannot fight the authorities, because authorities could shut them off remotely.
In a real Shooting contest/incident like Hogans Alley the cop looses his life.
Why the NRA hates smart guns

Get a Smart Gun to keep in your Smart Car.
Wet dream for the Washington Establishment.
What makes a smart gun work. A battery? If so dead when you need the gun.
Like all “smart” whatever——it is all about destroying individual control for centralized State control— which is embedding dependency on Science/elites and destroying self-reliance and shutting down the human brain to make useful idiots for State slavery.
If we don’t use the brain “to think” about anything—like directions/math facts/Philosophy/Theology—it withers and becomes like a tribal mind (unable to think in abstract profound ways). People become “happy” with slavery—crumbs from the elites as they rot away and get fat and lazy and their children are enslaved.
Anyone who promotes “smart” anything is dumb or trying to enslave the masses and create isolation and dysfunction. The Amish got it right-—the dehumanization is escalating to total isolation and making human beings obsolete so the elites can kill off billions and just use drones for their wars and driverless cars, etc.
That is their Malthusian/Darwinian plan since before J. Huxley and Orwell—to kill billions. To pull it off-—they are creating dumb, immoral “bots” using the skools and “law” to destroy Common Sense, Reason (brain function), and the Natural Family-—to institutionalize, dehumanize, drug, and program children with “smart” everything, but it will ONLY produce extremely DUMB people who can’t use any neurons in the brain (there won’t be any).
Won’t fly. Gun buyers want absolute confidence that it WILL go bang when they want it to - self defense use means the legitimate owner expects someone good will die if it doesn’t. Shifting the risk of operational failure to significantly increasing odds it won’t fire when it’s supposed top is simply not acceptable to buyers, so they won’t buy “smart guns”. It’s a machine, so there WILL be a failure rate; you can’t ensure it won’t fire when it shouldn’t AND ensure it will fire when it should by adding significant complexity to the firing process.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, revolvers could have a “personal” safety installed that consisted of an internal magnetic connection to the sear. The owner/shooter would wear a steel ring to make it work. No visible alteration could be seen, and without the ring, it wouldn’t shoot.
I don’t even like Magazine safeties.
When I pull the trigger it should go bang

If smart guns were not mandated and we would always be able to buy regular guns, I would have no objection to them. They would not be my cup of tea, so I would not buy one. I suspect few people would, if they were voluntary and normal guns were available.
But if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bicycle.
The fact of the matter is that New Jersey has already mandated that all guns sold in this state must be smart guns within a few years of a smart gun being on the market. Many other states would follow suit. The option would become a mandate almost overnight.
Manufacturers can “just say no”. Just like customers.
