The gun grabber's fantasy that will never go away.

Do magnets still kill computerized things?

It would be interesting to know if a strong magnet could disable one of these things. Or if a strong magnet would just bypass the whole "smart " technology, all together.

Myself, I don't rightly care for the behavior of computer technology when it's applied to automobiles. But, when the computer fries on my car, the car shuts down and I roll over to the shoulder. I'm annoyed, and highly inconvenienced, but it probably won't kill or hurt me. What happens if the gun computer fails?

These people are stupid. They think Glock is famous/popular among gun owners because police use them. hahahaha

And I don't typically trust $400 guns for saving my life (very few exceptions)... never mind a $400 gun full of electronics.

H, I can disable ANY smart gun with magnetic energy, typically in the form of radio frequency energy being focus with a directional antenna. I don't care what type of tech it uses. If its electronic, it can be broken or overridden remotely.

I have a neighbor who asked me not too long ago to take down or reposition one of my outdoor antennas because whenever I would broadcast on a specific frequency his refrigerator would start making crazy noises and his microwave oven would start running until I released the mic button.

I don't doubt it, Marc. Just one more reason to distrust the "smart" technology when it comes to firearms. If I can think of using magnetic energy to disable one of these things, and you can respond to that thought with radio waves and a directional antenna, what do you reckon a "smart " criminal will think of, or actually do?

I'm not worried about the criminals. They will have good ole' fashion mechanical guns... same as always.

What I am worried about is, the law abiding citizen that has a gun the fails when its needed most.

Or worst... the government disabling our guns with a technical jam or even a built in override.

The day that companies can't sell anything but smart guns, my $500 G17 will be worth $40k and the full auto's will push into the hundreds of thousands...

It's not that I'm particularly worried about criminals; it's just that the officers who get to test these ill-conceived contraptions might want worry about it.

The two concerns that you stated, of course, concern me, as well.

The primary problem that these guns address- it's all about the kids, you know- that can be resolved by teaching your children properly.

Technology will never be superior, or even a passable substitute, to actual parenting.

Like I always say... You make something idiot proof, we'll make a better idiot.

When I finally sat down and read a full article on smart guns, I almost died laughing.
