"smart guns" can be disabled via phone.......no thanks i dont want the gubment to disable my guns when they show up to take them from us..nuff said

If you can disable it via phone, someone or some entity other than the owner will definitely find a hack so they can do it too.

My fingers are an adequate safety measure.

This thread is about guns.  If you cannot make a positive contribution to this thread, then you need to stay out of it.  The discussion of guns is a perfectly valid topic.

I don't know they've been talking about smart guns technology for a long time now the biggest problem with them is price and them actually working in a crisis situation.... Firstly my finger is my safety along with the one that is already on the pistol or rifle.  it's not a matter of reinventing the wheel it's a matter of just education of the general public in safe ways to store your firearms, it's a no brainer unless you're brainless and if the latter is the case you probably shouldn't own a gun.

From the article..

"The 18-month-old startup has raised about $1.5 million so far and has radically altered its business model. Initially, the company focused on the consumer firearms market, but it ran into controversy. It was hawking technology that would allow private gun owners the ability to remotely lock a weapon. If a weapon was moved—or stolen—an alarm would alert the owner's mobile phone. The owner would have the option to remotely disable the weapon from being fired."


So, whereas this article doesn't mention the lock-down on police weapons, they might just be bypassing that little piece.

you should have kept reading.  that idea was discontinued, it's been old news for over a year.  but still shows up in the conspiracy theories.  what they're talking is a small box or something that you "glue" to your gun and it senses when you take it out of your holster and/or if the weapon has been fired.   it is not built into the firearm.  it attaches to it or any other gun you may have.  and it is for police not the general public.

The idea is pretty cool as it alerts dispatchers right away and they could send help before the call arrives.  I remember a few years back when some guy came out of his car with a gun in his hand and surprised the officer, the officer casually pushed a button on his belt and that sent an alarm.  I think the idea works on the same principle.
