Lodestar....sounds like a porn name version of Lonestar from Space Balls.

Thanks for posting. But I don't think this will ever go anywhere. Until they come up with a gun that is "instantly" DNA programed and the most important thing "Cheap"(as in Zero added cost) this type of thing will never fly. On top of that there will always be those who won't accept the things because they think it's being controlled by the Government.

Not in my lifetime, as in not for me. I don't do guinea pig.

I don't see any serious gun owner ever trusting their lives to 'smart gun' tech. Way to many chances for failure. I would never spend a cent on this stuff. I've worked with proximity, biometric and other types of reader systems and they all have a failure rate that is too high to be trusted.

This is a waste of time and effort.

I agree with with the first part but not the last, it is not a waste, just not perfected yet, it'll get there.

Just another effort to kill gun owners.

As with most of these gimmicks, government, you first. Police, Secret service, ect can all go first and prove it works.

Yeah, that'll happen. It's "do as we say, not as we do" with those guys.

Unlocking with implanted chips? Will that be the same chip that permits one to conduct personal banking and purchasing... And who, pray tell, would have control over said chip??? Can the government backdoor said chip? What about hacking???

Seriously??? I'll keep my "stupid" guns that function when I want them too and aren't accessible to others. That's called responsible gun ownership...

This won't happen in my children's life time because I have taught them better than this!

 

[Crazyeye24]

it'll fail at the most inconvenient time and cost a life. I'm good without the "smart" guns.

 

[po18guy]

Any reputed "weapon" whose default setting is "not a weapon" is...

....not a weapon.

Even the Huffpo is useful as it is - if you have a birdcage or need to wrap some fish.

SO lets see they come up with a new way to control a new firearm.

there are at LEAST 350 million firearms in the USA. there were 25 million or so BGC's done last year if every single one of them were BIO equipped it would take 14 years for them to become have the estimated number of guns in the USA. And no way will every gun sold in the USA have the ability to be equipped with this system.

This will chap your hide, In Commiefornia, and New Jerky, the day the fist smart gun is sold in that sate.

All other firearms become a felony to own.

Washingrad wont be far behind
