He'll mandate that police use them first. It allows him to advance anti-gun legislation and get cops killed at the same time. It's a solid win for two parts of his agenda.

How did you know? Here it is on the front page of the WashingtonComPost: Obama makes push for ‘smart gun’ use by law enforcement :sad20:

If it saves just one life, they should serve out their sentences. It's just common sense.

They should be able to vote just as easily in prison, shouldn't they?
:rolleyes:

"Common Sense" - the Liberal/Progressive phrase for Bullshite. You know when they say it, it's time to breakout the manure fork.

Would an EMP render them useless?

Probably.

By mandatin' that these be the only guns available to the peasants, that makes fer a convenient way of disarmin' 'em fer the gooberment.

His first quote at "common sense "had me....NOT! With his reasoning we would be using pence and pound and shilling for our currency. Wonder if he will ever get his head out of the sand?

An RF gun probably would fry the circuitry like an egg too. :innocent0

Every time I go to activate my phone I'm annoyed by the delay, even if it unlocks on the first swipe, which it usually doesn't.

They should make an automobile with Smart Screen technology. To steer right you would tap the steering icon, then swipe to select "steer right" from a menu. Enter "value- 25 degrees" tap to enter, then wait while the computer enters your steering command.

When you want to stop, you would pull down a menu and select the "brake" icon, then wait while it loads. Once "Brakes" have loaded, you would select a value, from " moderate slowdown" to "panic stop." After entering "panic stop" you would wait for the command to execute...

No, automobile controls must react instantly and so must those of a firearm.

Those annoying little half second and two second delays which accompany every command and menu entry on a smart phone should lead anyone to immediately recognize the absurdity of the comparison between phones and guns.

For all manufacturers and dealers, I want to be clear:

If you make a single "smart gun", I will never buy anything from you again and will encourage anyone I know to do the same.

If you attempt to sell a single "smart gun", I will never buy anything from you again and will encourage anyone I know to do the same.

The risks to our civil rights are just too high.

How about mandating "smart needles" that only dispense legitimately prescribed medicines, and only to the patients to whom they are prescribed?

That would save many more lives each year than so-called "smart guns," which would actually cost lives.

Maybe my stash of .32 Rimfire will suddenly be worth something.... want a gun that shoots without electronics? Pick up a 150 year old model :-)

Or just make yourself a Luty submachine gun.

“President Obama's obsession with gun control knows no boundaries,” Jennifer Baker, director of the NRA's lobbying arm, said in a statement.

Baker took issue with the Defense Department's involvement in helping test smart gun technology.

“At a time when we are actively fighting terrorists at home and abroad, this administration would rather focus the military's efforts on the president’s gun control agenda," she said.

National security takes a back seat to global warming and smart gun technology. Let's see if the "JV team" shows compassion and respects the strategy.

I know a guy that shoots .32 Rimfire let me know if you want to get rid of yours.

They already did back in 1996. Backlash caused them to change their minds and abandon it before it got past prototype stage.
Shortly thereafter they fired their CEO. (Though I'm sure he got a Golden Parachute. :sad20:

)

Hell, I read somewhere recently that years back the sum'bitches didn't even wanna sell AR-15's to the public.

Bottom line is this isn't reliable...period....so it can't be trusted for a life and death decisions. I can't image that any police (federal, state, or local) would ever agree therefore I see a very slight chance of this every being mandated or adopted. That fact alone would make a clear win in a legal challenge should it ever become law of the land.

Z_Man · May 3, 2016

well we need to ban smart guns.... since they are not in common use by the military or police (which is what the current courts use as an excused to ban arms) we should have no problem making building, owning, transferring or operating a smart gun illegal.
