Guns kill more than 30,000 Americans every year, far more than in any other developed country. While lawmakers and activists battle it out over legislative solutions, some are trying a different approach: integrating smart technology into guns. In this episode of "The Spark," Bloomberg follows 21-year-old inventor and entrepreneur Kai Kloepfer, who's created a "smart" handgun that could save thousands of lives.

The answer was no. The answer IS no. The answer will ALWAYS be no.
The more complicated a thing gets, the more it is likely to fail.
And that's just the beginning. Integrating electronic tech into firearms provides the government the means to disable them at will.
Not only no, but HELL no. |

It could kill too.
Bad guy busts in, you grab gun ... battery is dead, gun doesn't work, good guy dies.
Battery dies... gun works through default ...bad guy steals it. Or steals gun, removes battery and gun now works.
Or, wounded good guy grabs gun to defend himself. He has bloody hands so smart gun won't read fingerprints.
Need a longer list?
I don't. |

| Good opportunity for NJ and California to show their support for this technology and mandate that their police departments replace their side arms with smart guns. |

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") |
