Smart Guns…again

Bob A · Jan 11, 2022

Never fear; there are literally millions of stupid guns out there. They're not going away.

Meanwhile, those who long for guns that are smarter than they themselves are will have the opportunity to buy them.

Frankly, I'm far more concerned about computer-controlled vehicles. When all the cars and trucks that were simple and owner-serviceable finally turn to rust, the opportunity to be tracked and traced by whomever has access to the software will be inescapable. So will the owners themselves; dotGov will know where you go, and will probably have the ability to control your vehicle, at least to the point of being capable of immobilising it.

Thank heaven they're on our side!

The LodeStar model has fingerprint biometrics that unlocks in microseconds. As a backup, a PIN method unlocks in…seconds. Oh, the biometric sensor doesn’t work if wet…

This is a stupid product. What's next? Smart knife?

Considering that the biometric lock on an (older) iPhone wouldn't work for me for more than two weeks, I'm certainly not using it on something that my life may depend on.

Maybe they should put it on politicians. Only registered voters can unlock them and if they propose anything that violates the Constitution, they cease to work.

So that jammer in my pocket will keep me safe from cops...

Someone will hack it. Bet on it.

Next up, a gun that shoots without any user input. It's judge, jury and executioner all in one compact unit.

Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious at all.

They will make it so yours can be disabled by LE, but theirs won't be susceptible.

*****I wonder whatever happened to that dude? Did he decide to become a dudette and wear teddies?

The Chinese term niang pao seems appropriate to both this guy and the topic at hand.

I suspect criminals all over are just waiting for details. What part of the body do we need to cut of to steal a cool LEO weapon and use it. :innocent0

That's a good point. I tend to agree. With the advent of truly automated driving systems upon us, I fear the driver's license is going to become in reality a travel license. Subject to all the controls and monitoring a government wishes to place on it. I can hear the voice out of the car speaker now; "Your trip to this destination cannot be authorized. I'm sorry to report that your mortgage company has been late with the payment on your real estate taxes. Your driver's license is only authorized for travel to the grocery store and documented medical appointments. Please call this 800 number for more information......."

****On newer cars, this would be very easy to implement. I'm constantly amazed at how interconnected tech is and how easy it is to weave an individuals patterns of travel, shopping, calls, and who they meet and hang out with. It's like those inter-lock systems for alcoholics to verify they have not been drinking before being allowed to start their car, etc..

I could see a Repo'd car being shut down for collection, or some poor guys pacemaker/defribrillator being given a few jolts as a not too gentle reminder to pay up their parking and EZ-Pass bills... :innocent0

Hmmm... Smart Gun? Locked until you pay your gun registration fee (yearly), and verify it stays at your home, unless you have a CCW and it is restricted to operate at your home and work only.

Could happen.

I think you’re right. It will be a badge of honor for a gang banger to have a cop’s smart gun.

Posting pictures of your home-made ghost guns seems contrary to the concept somehow.

I trust you have others, but please don't tell us about them.

Oh, I don’t own those anymore. They were melted down when I became a Buddhist monk.

* I have intention of complying with any further gun laws.

That bottom one looks like a Stealth Arms one. Even with all the screw ups I did one in 9mm and I gotta say thier quality is top notch even if it takes them 3 tries to get you all the parts you ordered and a few calls to get them to actually create the order you paid for.

Love mine
