Definitely one of the dumbest ideas I ever heard. The only good use for this technology is to give it to the cops so they stop shooting everyone. As for us citizens, well why would we want guns that won't shoot at deer or elk or bears or home intruders? Why would I want to be forced into buying his & hers handguns when she can use mine when I'm away right now? Why would we want a govt or company that could shut down all weapons other than theirs when the citizens finally rebel against this 'big brother' society we are coming too? This would further the police state agenda by removing our ability to confront those who would control us and should be shut down as an idea before they start production.

The entire idea of "smart" guns is stupid. Firearms are such simple technology that one patented in 1905 remains the top-notch choice of elite anti-terror groups today. Dependability is the primary requirement for firearms, and these are extremely dependable, smart technology can only complicate things, and thus be counter-productive.

BTW, in my career as a professional gunslinger, I carried a quite adequate weapon....patented in 1899.

If it works, don't **** with it.

BTW, firearms are so simple that Australia is having a problem with home made machine guns!!

Home built M11 submachine guns seized in Australia - The Firearm Blog

So we wind up with $1800 .22 LR "smart" guns, while the crooks get cheap home made SMGs.

BRILLIANT!!

As well, the right to keep and bear arms in the USA is intended as a check on gov't power. If the gov't has the ability to "turn off" your firearms then the right is violated.

yes dependability...top requirement for sure

I do think it is a step which could lead to some interesting possibilities down the road. For instance weaponry that has capabilites other than just blowing the organs apart such as totally stunning or incapacitating someone without damage.

homemade machine guns, home made bombs, it is quite amazing to think about what your average person can now do with a little ingenuity

Yeah....a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I once knew a guy that had been an engineer in the CAF, an explosives and mine expert.........he left to work with the UN de-mining Afghanistan.

He once showed me his collection of anti-personel mines.........."without explosives" I asked hopefully. :)

Yeah, he said, but that would only require a short shopping trip and 20 minutes in the kitchen.

Boom.

20 minutes and a few chemical purchases...wow, it is extraordinary the amount of knowledge we have access to
