Previous attempts to develop smart guns have stalled, but two companies hope to introduce products this year.
They could also reduce suicides, render lost or stolen guns useless, and offer safety for police officers and jail guards who fear gun grabs. LodeStar integrated both a fingerprint reader and a near-field communication chip activated by a phone app, plus a PIN pad. The gun can be authorized for more than one user.
Ginger Chandler, LodeStar Works SVP and Chief Technical Officer, makes presentation on the breakdown of their smart gun, which works only for the designated user.Skeptics have argued that smart guns are too risky for a person trying to protect a home or family during a crisis, or for police in the field.
Guns coming to market could trigger a 2019 New Jersey law requiring all gun shops in the state to offer smart guns after they become available. The 2019 law replaced a 2002 law that would have banned the sale of any handgun except smart guns.
Two words. Maginot Line. There is always a way around...
And what if the gun owner killed by a terrorist and another citizen pick up the gun to stop the terrorist and the terrorist kill the guy who pick up the gun too. Wouldn't be good if public use regular guns to stop bad people in certain circumstances such as the terrorist earlier!
Just waiting to be hacked. Just imagine, adding in someone elses fingerprints to a gun digitally. What could go wrong
Great, until the 'cannot recognize input' error happens while facing a deadly situation.
It does t really matter when ghost guns exist. This is too little too late. *This is coming from a legal gun owner.
I would not buy think how often your finger print fails to unlock your phone
It's a good idea, but anything automatic (which INCLUDES semi) or a handgun shouldn't be sold to civilians, period. The US is collapsing and about to go through the bloodiest period in our history
If there computerize smart guns for Americans during Biden’s President and being allowed there has to be something very wrong 👎❌
I remember in the 1980s when smart guns were announced but they never made it to market or convinced anyone that the unlock mechanism was trustworthy. The concept was essentially boycott. Proof of reliability is still the issue.
If you happen to be wearing a band-aid or your hand is soiled your smart gun wouldn’t work. Doesn’t sound too smart to me.
not going to help..
don’t need smart guns, we just need to make expensive bullets. Like Chris Rock said.
Yes!
Yeah, but what about the other 20 million 'dumb' guns?
I know we all probably might have heard about Bitcoin but don't know how it works, I tried it in a week ago by a man who recommended me to Derrick_Jones39 on Twitter he guides me through and i made a return of $10500 after a week of trading, connect with him
