I doubt there will be thousands of smart guns sold the be disabled. Who would actually pay an extra couple hundred dollars for a gun that might not work when they need them? Police departments, the target market, has no interest unless the gun fails"on" so all the crook has to do is take the battery out and the gun goes hot. The cop on the beat still has no real interest in the technology, it is just the political bosses. I believe pretty much the same thing was said of things like computers and cell phones. I can't speak for every cop on the beat, but I'm betting most would be interested in a weapon that can only be fired by the owner. Why would you think that? If you read the articles you get on a "smart gun" google you see everyone from the NRA to the Violence Policy Center (an anti gun group) think it is a dumb idea. Some of the arguments make sense and others don't. |
