    The only problem with "smart guns" is when they get mandated by the state government, ie, Kali, NY, NJ, Ill,

    Reminds me of the micro stamping on firing pins movement. One of the big movers on this was from Windom NH but not register as a corp with the NH dept of state, They gave an address on rte 28 in Windham NH that my son and I investigated and found to be a closed gas station.

    Total fraud process and firm reported to the state and NRA

    One of my guns is pretty smart. I caught it after it opened the safe to make it's escape and going after ammo to load itself, for what nefarious reason? I have no idea. I caught it before the act was complete. But clearly that sort of firearm is the type the left thinks is a smart gun and what they've been passing laws about. Rest easy folks, I stopped it before it could complete it's evil.

    For any leftists reading this, it's all in jest (I had to let you know). Firearms require a person to do the evil, the firearm is just a tool and has no ability to think or do evil on it's own. It's the person behind the gun you fools! The vast majority of firearms owners are peaceful and law abiding, that's why you're all still alive! Mass murderers with guns? They come from your crowd, all leftists.

    And it's back again (in Illinois)!! One of Chicago's cookie-cutter state reps has dusted off the old, debunked microstamping proposal and dropped it back into the legislative hopper for the Spring session.

    This is the start of banning un-smart guns. The gov will be able to shut off your gun....

    I can see the gun not firing when the owner pulls the trigger and thinks it’s empty. He then pulls the trigger again when not pointed in a safe direction and it fires.

    Also, what happens when the battery goes dead?

    I'm not very "bright". I have no business owning a gun smarter than I am.

    So called "smart guns" need to permanently remain a myth and any physical evidence destroyed. So does the microstamping idea/technology. Thats pretty well proven impossible for the time being.

    Then what you have is a gun shaped object that you can throw at the target.

    All kidding aside this is a expensive option.

    You think so? I think they’ll still be terrified of inanimate objects and just want to impose them on the rest of the population.

    Are you going to trust your life to this? He mr. criminal, wait until I enter my pin or open the app on my phone.... or have a dead battery and a paperweight gun.

    The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones.

    This is an advance in the "smart gun" technology, but still not a solution. Being an implant, it is much more resistant to theft, or not having it with you, (rings, watches, whatever). But they don't address longevity, or whether it could be hacked. Seems like it's some kind of RF signal, but "define it please", range?, frequency? coding?
    "smart guns are an answer for people who are afraid to own a firearm otherwise. NEVER let them become required for the rest of us!
