With quality firearms, and proper maintenance, pretty much yes.

why are you ignoring that not all firearms are not 100% reliable?


why are you saying that every gun purchased is purchased so that it can be used in critical self defense situations?

Handguns make up 98% of firearm deaths.
Handguns are most commonly used in self defense scenarios.
Handguns are the main type of firearm proposed when talking about smart guns.

I'm not sure where anyone has said or even implied that every firearm purchased specifically so it can be used for critical self defense situations as you put it.

I'm also not ignoring that all firearms are not 100% reliable. Didn't even know that was part of the discussion as you always seem to come up with random tangents and arguments.

While we are throwing random topics into the mix... Electronic triggers are illegal. A mechanical linkage is required by law, so the electronics would have to be an interlock or disconnect device.

you've implied that early technological issues are a reason this is not a technology that should be explored, doing so ignores that 1)there is already a market of early adopters interested in this technology and 2)the majority of guns purchased in the private market are not bought as primary self defense weapons so there is a large market who might want a smart gun just as a gun to have fun with

it wasn't that long ago that you only bought a revolver for self defense because semi-automatic pistols were not reliable. it's not crazy to acknowledge that at some point in the future smart weapons could have a failure rate no greater than handguns in general

I have not implied that in any way, but I'm glad you think you can put words in my mouth.

I have said nothing of the sort that it shouldn't be explored. I have made reference as to why people are concerned, and why mandating is not going to work. Until the technology shortcomings can be proven to have dealt with, or reduced the negatives to a negligible level, then this is not going to be an avenue that people are going to get behind. Early interest does not = ready for mass market, and is nothing more than novelty at this point.

Need to just sit back and let the market decide for itself

1/8/2016 8:47:21 PM

^^ what part of encouraging R&D implies ready for mass market you stupid cross-eyed fuck

1/8/2016 8:52:24 PM

What part of not ready for mass market means that I'm against R&D you ignorant little shit?

Oh look, I can use derogatory language towards you as well. Though I don't believe you will see the point that I'm trying to make. And no I won't explain it.

1/8/2016 8:58:08 PM

Look, I wasn't trying to bring us down a shit hole by bringing up smart weapons, I just wanted to throw it out there as a potential common sense, partial answer to some of the gun violence...mainly accidental child deaths and stolen weapons used in other crimes. Sure, more tech savvy crooks will be able to hack whatever tech is in place...that's inevitable. But your two year old wouldn't. Your average home-invader wouldn't.

Again, baby steps toward a more common sense approach on gun ownership in this country.

Further proving my point...
When you know you are on shaky ground you resort to personal attacks. It's ok, we know you just can't wrap your mind around critical thinking.

Did dude man really make a comment about the construction methods used on your house? Like, is that really a thing to attack?

He like's going after houses. He's called mine ugly before.
