And this is why we just did not trust this technology to begin with.
This is a good idea HOWEVER... the technology has to be firmly in control of the gun owner, shouldn't be mandated, etc.
Suppose you were in your home, not a very practical place for the smart guns if you need to be wearing something. Most people would just end up storing the bracelet next to the gun. Having a sytem in place that allowed the gun to operate within a certain distance but could also be turned on and off is more practical. If you think or know the weapon has obtained by someone you can just kill it, if they leave the premises it's also no longer operable.
What needs to be addressed here is the government mandates, they need to be removed so options like this can become available to those that want to purchase them.
Fedgov will eventually mandate this technology for all weapons......and have the ability to
shut-down all weapons with this technology.
Just like the coming OBD3 for vehicles......Pi@@ies will have the capability to shut-down your vehicle.
Mandate all you want... My weapons will never have one installed.. Guaranteed. I am willing to bet Iam not alone in this sentiment.
