wwillson Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Article at New Yorker describes 'safety' mechanism that somehow disables the pistol if it is removed from the proximity of the wrist 'watch' controller. On the surface it sounds like it might be a good idea, but there have to be unintended consequences. What do you think?Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH70 Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 "Smart Gun's" are nothing new, the idea has been tossed around for at least 10 years now. I don't want anything to do with electronics on my firearms, what about the one time you really need it and you have a glitch. I sure hope some of my membership dues in the NRA are being used to fight this type of gun control! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSharp Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 +2. It's a solution to appease anti-gunners and make the inventors some $I believe in this statement since it takes care of the problem more directly - Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it's empty.

dnewton3 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Way too many downsides for anyone but the gun-control zealots.I don't wear a watch. I will NOT have an implant.Just how many combinations of watches/guns would you have to wear for all the weapons I own? And, if it's like everything else electronic, it will fail when you need it most. They can KMA if they think I'll be submitting to this.
