This is a swell idea! After a whole lot of time, these guns might be at least as reliable as my computer.

My computer has been using a technology perfected over twenty years with billions of dollars and countless hours of trial and error and cleverly engineered improvements. It is perfected so even a dummy like me can use it without having a Masters Degree in computers. Still, it freezes up once in a while, sometimes on shutdown and sometimes in the middle of use. Most of the time it reboots on the first try. It has only mysteriously erased some of my work files a couple of times and generally works OK if I don't interrupt the power or jar the case too hard. Of course, I can't use it during a power outage or an electrical storm.

On the other hand, my ancient manual slide rule has never failed me, but works every single time - maybe not with the same accuracy as a computer program, but with flawless reliability.

I wouldn't consider for a minute having my life depend on a firearm which has the latent bugs my computer has. I wouldn't hesitate putting my life or those of my loved ones on a gun with the reliability of my slide rule.

But then, this has nothing to do with any of the above. It has everything to do with devious and dishonest politicians controlling honest people through phony "safety" issues and outlawing guns in the hands of decent citizens.

Speaking of "safety", you can safely bet the farm none of their private bodyguards will ever carry one of these "smart" weapons!
