Someday the ATF will want tax stamps for mechanical only firearms. It will be talked about as legend. "Dude...you have a none smart gun"!?

Sadly, that's what will happen.

Ironically, even some liberals will be a bit troubled by such un-Constitutional invasiveness and wax philosophical about it - in idle conversations. But they will represent a grossly insufficient number to actually vote and stem the inevitable tide of government mandated people-control.

Right now, in 2017, I'd be interested to know who's funding what (at the hidden core level of paid-off individuals) among manufacturers like "Disarmatricks" willing to cash in on this thinly veiled stupidity.

$15? BS It can be done for free. Look at about 3:50 into the video where they show the ferris plunger that blocks the firing pin. Remove the plunger. No hacking, just get rid of the electronics

All smart guns can be defeated like this. Most have some variation on a solenoid or wheel that moves a mechanical piece to either block or permit movement of the linkage. Destroy or discard the electronics and then fix the mechanical piece (or remove it in this case) in position to permit firing.

I'd love to go shooting with you guys today but I can't. Still waiting for Apple (or Microsoft) to release OS 2.0 for my new pistol so it works again.

Gun doesn't work but has the worlds best calculator construction app in the world!
