"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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
