If you can't see what they are trying to do you are an idiot. Unfortunately this country is full of idiots, just read some of the responses here.
Ironic post is ironic.

Any gun owner who left their weapon untouched in the closet for two years probably shouldn't have a gun in the first place.

Ok let me try and examine your first statement because I want to make sure I understand your complete intent because I can see a bit of question marks.

Now at first glance I think you're saying that it could malfunction and keep someone from legally using their gun and the problem I would have with that is that any gun can malfunction and "lock" someone out of using it.

If we add this tech it doesn't keep you from bearing arms, you can still own and possess weapons allowing you to continue to freely bear arms.

Oddly enough, given our past posting history, I completely agree.

No. I'm speaking only in terms of the device locking out those who need to use the firearm because they don't have the right biometrics (or whatever) to unlock the safety, etc.

The tech isn't necessary to keep and bear arms. Such can exist without the tech. It's only a safety device. Make it optional, like childproof cabinet door locks.
