"Smart technology – using fingerprint recognition, hand biometrics, coded locks or other features to make sure a gun can be fired only by its owner – could be used to prevent many of those casualties."
It can also be remotely disabled by EMP.
In other words, the government will have an "off" switch to disable your gun.
No thanks. |

Kinda hard to make a 'persuasive argument' when you start with a falsehood; "gun shops won't sell them". Dealers of anything stock what their customers buy. Doing otherwise is economic suicide. That includes firearms. Since the advent of the microprocessor there have been numerous 'electronically-controlled' - long and short - firearms put on the market. Some by major manufacturers. None have been an economic success. And even this writer underlines the uncertainity of the concept with his "might". Quality firearms are too expensive an investment for the majority of buyers to plunge on a WAG.
But there is one ready market where the safety, reliability and practicability of this concept can be demonstrated; police issue. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
