Since you asked....

Smart Gun

I'm all for new gun technology and this is at least interesting, as long as it's not forced upon us. https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/biofire-smart-gun-kai-kloepfer/

Biometric locks are known to not work securely.
A build up of fingerprints from the owner can render them insecure, and allow other people to unlock them.

I will apply the same thought on "smart" guns as I apply to other items.

Any product that has "Smart" in its name or description, is most certainly anything but smart.
And many devices that appear to be smart just seem so in comparison to the person using it.

As for "Smart"guns, I would never consider one as something I could depend on for defense.

I'll consider a gun smart when it gets up and shoots someone by itself. Preferably another 'smart' gun.

I would have to carry a backup to shoot the smart gun if if it gets out of hand. Toaster example:

In effort to respect house rules, I will limit my response to "They are ***************".

Yep. If smart TVs are any indication, I will have nothing to do with it.

 

[Perchowski]

Yeah don't want anything to do with smart guns. Just another problem waiting to happen at the wrong time.

 

[Darkpriest667]

it will fail the moment you need it and you'll be dead as shit. I work in IT.. everything we design fails at some point. Every addtional step is an additional point of failure.

The smart gun project that I was involved in, funded by the National Institute of Justice and developed by Fabrique Nationale (FN) for law enforcement, was not accepted in principle and got shelved twenty years ago.

If it is not good enough for LE, it’s not good enough for me.

Smart guns = stupid idea!

 

[seeker_two]

Smart guns....aren't.

 

[Bozz10mm]

As much trouble as I have with my TV remote and key-less vehicle entry...I don't think so.

 

[jmohme]

Smart guns....aren't.

For me, anything "smart" welcomes surveillance, data mining and govt intrusion, even though this gun company claims not. Sorry, I don't trust them.

Smartphones, smart cars, smart thermostats, etc. Not only "no", but f*ck no.

Smart, in reference to a device, is code that they want YOU to turn your brain off.

No thanks.
