So, the inventor of the holy grail of gun control, the smart gun, is really on a quest to assuage his own misguided guilt over the fact that people have used his products to kill others.
I know the arguments against this firearm are well beyond the comprehension of those who are simply against all firearms. Those would like to see a smattering of them can go here among other places. the point is that the opinion of those who do not carry, do not want to carry and, in fact, hate firearms, about such a firearm is worthless.
I would ask you to simply consider that there are no law enforcement or military organizations who are clamoring to purchase this handgun. Why? Lack of reliability of the mechanism? Lack of stopping power? Lack of practicality?
Be honest; you do not know anything about firearms in general and even less about this one. Yet, because we can attach the word "smart" to it and because the idea of it allows you to denigrate all others, you like it.
As I have done previously, I will allude to the analogy of this to the drug war. This is your licit drug (for the moment, although it is really step one on your road to making all of them illegal). It is your marinol. Yet, while you have made your licit analogs, our porous borders have been hit with an unstoppable flood of illicit drugs. So, change your laws to where the only firearm law-abiding citizens can possess is a temperamental (Sometime sit works, sometimes it doesn't, won't work if the watch in on the other hand, you can be disarmed by being stripped of the watch), under-powered (.22 caliber), low capacity pistol, while criminals will continue to own the firearms they chose since the law will not affect them.
Yes, I know the rules make sense to you, but then you choose to be disarmed anyway.
