"The federal government has been experimenting with using wireless Nano and GPS technologies to track, disrupt, and even self-destruct firearms for at least two years." The project – known as micro-electromechanical system (MEMS).

Totally unrealistic today, but who knows what evil lurks in the future.

This was touched upon in the David Gerrold, Chtorr series. I am sure other literary works referenced it, but this one I suspect was one of the first.

The internet of things is a horrible idea for life/death scenarios. No thanks, I'll keep my guns "air gapped" for now.

I feel the same way about RFID safeties and all the other BS that come out recently.

I did however install a Liberty SafElert and love it. That was my choice and get to decide what is in the safe and when.

With the rate that devices are hacked and taken over I'd think this is a very bad idea. Imagine this, a device that automatically hacks into all the guns around it and disables them.

Like how movie theaters block cell phones?

Don't you feel safer knowing they've installed metal detectors.

If it is electronic, it can be hacked.

Wonderful, a firearm that can be hacked.

A coworker created a device that will set off all the disks at a restaurant that they give you while you wait. It's funny you can set it off and watch the place go nuts. I can't imagine how terrible it'd be if you could do the same with firearms.

What's the daily rental rate for that device??

I own a truck with points, and power nothing for the same reasons. It even has a generator instead of an alternator, so even with a dead battery, if I can find a hill, I can get it running. Fuck nanoelectricalhackablegovernmentcontrollable bullshit.
