The Gun the NRA Does Not Want to be Sold

The gun the NRA doesn't want sold | MSNBC

There is a legal, smart firearm that could be a game-changer for gun safety. And thanks to the NRA, you can’t buy it.

I think it goes without saying -- I smell fish.

Now I've never stepped foot in this section of the forum, but y'all understand I'm going to be watching the ensuing discussion with keen interest.

I'm not reading the article because I'm pretty sure I know what it's about.

An obscenely priced and overly complicated system designed to prevent a firearm from discharging unless the user has a special bracelet/watch/ring.

At least one state has a law in place stating once this type of system hits the market all firearms sold must have the device. This means a .22 pistol would cost a couple grand. Pretty much pricing 95% of gun owners out of gun ownership.

I side with the NRA.

Sorry if I'm off base, my blood pressure can't handle MSNBC lies, slants, and garbage right now.

Yeah, we've discussed that at length several times on here already. I think it goes without saying why the gun community (not just the NRA) is opposed.

And, IIRC a FFL in Cali got excoriated over his decision to push them as he well should have been.

The "Smart" firearm is the Liberal dream of making a gun that can outsmart the owner. The concept is typical of Liberal utopia dreams and making or buying that type of firearm is a concession to their way of thinking.

It's probably a waste of time to oppose this concept. Only the worst idiot Libtard would buy one and there won't be enough sales to sustain it, anyway.

Ironically enough, we could have said the same thing about Obama care back in 2009. And they expected it, which is where the "Buy insurance or be taxed to hell!" clause in the law comes from. They have to win to feel better about themselves SOMEHOW....

In any event, someone just posted this link to Forbes:

Why You Should Be Concerned About The New 'Smart Guns' (Whether You Love Or Hate Guns) - Forbes

While I don't read Forbes, I'm pleasantly surprised to see common sense beginning to take hold.

I find this odd. Is there a reason we should be concerned you will be "watching the ensuing discussion with keen interest"? Should we take note?

No matter what the liberals and MSNBC think, building gun control into the gun is still a violation of the 2A

MSNBC?

They have 0 (ZERO) credibility. Pure propaganda masquerading as journalism....

I say introduce this gun to market. When sales stay at less than 2% of total firearms sold and traded the manufacturer will go away, probably to manufacture a safe knife or safe car or some other garbage idea that is fatally flawed without help from crony capitalism.
The 2nd amendment can't be stepped on to help further this failed idea. Know any cops that would trade in to grab one of these? No. No1 will bet their life to beta test an expensive toy.

 

[Saltyag2010]

2% is a very high estimate. They won't make that if they teemed up with glock to make a 2599$ g17

In sure Obama would jump on it as a "taxpayer investment" and dump tens on millions in to it while applauding its great success up to the day it files bankruptcy and the owner walks with hundred dollar bills sticking out of his pockets.

Then he would blame the tea party and racism.

exactly. just another part to **** up. In a life or death situation I don't want to bet my survival on a half-dead battery or faulty circuitry, etc.

Another thing-
you make a smart gun, chances are it will have some GPS tracking, so they will effectively have a gun registry and your location on file. No thank you.

No need to go door to door to confiscate them. just send out an EMP and then the guns are bricks..

Exactly. What's stopping a criminal from doing this or using chaff to **** things up?
