    Default How long before "smart firearms" are required here

    Sucks that companies are pursuing this technology. If all the gun manufacturers refused to develop this junk, it would be less likely the libs would be able to mandate them. Now that a company has a working model for sale, how much longer until Cali, NY or CO will require it?

    I think that first, if this technology is to be accepted, it should be REQUIRED to be first be acquired by law enforcement to prove the reliability and viability of the concept. If the cops don't want it than it should not be required of the rest of the citizenship.

    I've not only managed, but have indeed thrived without a 'smart' phone. Be assured, I'll be just fine without a 'smart' gun.

    I trust my life and the lives of my loved ones to my firearms. Not going to risk that on a notoriously unreliable, electronic doo-hickey just to make some statist halfwits feel better. Will not comply.

    More bullshit from liberals. My guess is it won't sell and therefore won't be in production long.

    I agree with wcitriumph, let's see how Leos like it. My guess is not much. One more thing that could break.

    As I mentioned elsewhere, if I had a ton of money, I would buy one. Then I would take more money, and give the gun/watch to some nerds to build a jammer. i suspect it's simple short range bluetooth that you have to pair to each other. Just to prove how simple it would be to defeat it.
