"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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
