I'm usually not in favor of "cops only" laws, but in the case of "smart guns" I think they should be available only to cops. |

No it doesn't fire like any other weapon. From the article:
"Kloepfer said his gun is “relatively reliable.”
Relatively reliable doesn't make the grade. When you need a firearm, you don't want "relatively" reliable.
I have had one misfire with a center fire cartridge in my life out of in excess of 10,000 cartridges. That is a reliability rate of 99.99 percent.
Talk to me about smart gun reliability when you reach 99.99% reliability. |

QUOTES
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") |
