  • Enable the gun with GPS to track it in theft situations?

    I've said it before. You should be required to purchase a safe that is on the "list" of approved safes.

  • A gun with a fingerprint or other electronically 'fail-safe) secure safety that could be remotely tracked and locked would actually function as its own gun safe.

    It's as I expected to hear nothing but conventional answers

    A gun in a safe is useless.

  • What about if on all new guns the safety mechanism was a fingerprint verification?

    Then you could never fire someone elses gun. When I am at the rage we test fire others guns all the time.

    For that matter you couldn't test fire a gun to see if you want that type or not.

    How would you teach your children how to properly shoot?

    I don't want GPS monitoring....it's nobodys business if I own a weapon or not. Lets put tracking devices in cars so the cops can track all the cars that go to a bar after work.

    That is invasion of privacy.

    Come up with all the hair brained ideas you want. The problem isn't the gun. It's the idiot who holds it.

  • I think GPS is a good idea. Adds the ability to easily track a gun if it gets stolen or lost.

    You know, keeping it out of the hands of those idiots

    Since posting this I've checked into heck's link and I'm not as far ahead of the curb as I'd hoped. Smart guns are up and coming and god help you, ballpeen. You're in for a bad time if you oppose useful technology.

    One thing I didn't think of that's just an excellent idea. Wide area control. Meaning, you couldn't carry a smart gun into school and start shooting. It would be automatically disabled walking into the wireless field of the school. I'd imagine you could treat that like basic card access...the server is able to make exception for law enforcement and security.

    And your privacy? Forget about it. All your personal information us available right now to anyone who wants it. Your privacy is already out the window. Putting a camera in your house is an invasion of privacy. Tracking guns is not. Get over yourself.

    Ever hear of a timer? Your cellphone stays on til you stop using it for X amount of time. It doesn't lock for X amount if time after that, even though the display is off. Your concerns here are without merit.

  • Yes electronic locks and access control are harebrained ideas, which is why nearly every place of business with two pennies to rub together uses some form of it.

    Well than suffer the consequences if it is stolen. My friend has 3 hand guns and a finger print opener, says he can get to them in under 10 seconds. Army vet wouldn't have it any other way he says. Has them on the wall next to his bed.

    Or you can move out of the shit hole Cleveland and you won't need a gun, lol.

  • How about trigger locks?

    You mean finger print trigger locks? Quick pop off?

    Sure why not, for existing guns.

  • With your IP I can find out almost anything about you I want, lol.

    So then you are for laws that if your car is stolen and someone mow's down a pedestrian, you are for them being culpable.

    Yes or no is the only required answer. Anything more is dribble.

    Yes or No.....nothing more.

    YES, or NO.

  • That's easy. No.

  • It would be nice if the world were that easy. That would solve a lot of problems, wouldn't it? All the answers to the problems of the world would be so tidy. Unfortunately that's not really a comparable situation. A gun is a weapon designed, built, and purchased with one purpose: to kill. Kill animals, kill percieved threats, whatever. By its very existence its 100X the liability a vehicle is, and therein lies your answer. If you, stupidly, fail to secure your firearms and they are used to murder people you should absolutely be held accountable. Of murder? No, not at all. Of criminal negligence? Yes.

  • baloney. Guns are also designed to be a deterent.

    That's why the deputy advised me to always be armed out back on the farm.

    He said you never know when you may run into one of these psychos on drugs.

    But they are so out of it, a gun as a deterent wouldn't work......

    You would deter a drugged up psycho with a gun by shooting him. If you shoot you are to shoot to kill. A gun is meant to kill. You are deluded if you think otherwise.

  • We need to gps track all Retards and liberals who do not have a clue about the reason we have a second amendment and what and why we have a second amendment right. Plus if any new gun laws come into effect we will be able to find the tards are our smart phones.

    Without a second amendment we do not enjoy the luxury of being able to post on political forums with the fear of some jack booted thug busting down our door over a personal opinion.

    Just keep it real even if you have some lame ass opinion, cysko and woody.
