Thread: Mandate for police smart guns or volunteer to test same?

    And let's not forget the issue of security. RFID jammers, remote hijack vectors? No thanks. The number of electronic devices that haven't been "hacked" is staggeringly low...particularly when wireless communication is involved.

    I liked the reference to the iPhone fingerprint reader in the article. I couldn't help but wonder if that was a very subtle jab on the part of the author.

    The technology issues are only the beginning. The government can already hack my phone, read my internet history and listen to my calls. I'll be damned if I have a gun that can be hacked, which will be the first thing they will develop, since they're funding the R&D. I'd trust it more if the government weren't involved.

    It was obama's recent line. "If we can make fingerprint sensors for phones, why can't we have them on guns?" Or words to that effect. This all went down and was hot press quite a while ago.

    My guns are already smart. They only fire when I tell them to.

    How do we mandate smart politicians? I guess that's an oxymoron. My bad.

If after 20 years on no failures they can be made available to the public as an OPTION.

    This gives new meaning to, "From my cold dead hands." Sadly...
    What you do right before you know you're going to be in a use of force incident, often determines the outcome of that use of force.
