<p>Here's one of the many reasons why I'm against smart guns. </p>

<p>One of the reasons Glock's are so popular is simplicity. Simple to load, simple to fire, simple to take down, simple to clean, simple to repair.  Because of this, people often associate their reliability with simplicity. Not sure anyone wants a "404 error " message in a gun especially if it's used as a self defense gun. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519121</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519121</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Legacy Fan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2015 02:11:15 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Bad idea: "smart guns" on Thu, 30 Jul 2015 00:38:50 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>anything that high tech can be hacked by high tech.</p>

<p>And the magnetic ring - you live near a power station. Oops, your ring doesn't work. Or,</p>
<p>maybe the opposite - the power station overlays the magnetic ring functionality,</p>
<p>and the gun always fires regardless.</p>

<p>I used to walk to a factory floor to have interviews with people on new software projects....</p>
<p>and a computer disk would get fried, if I walked up to a machine running too close, to talk</p>
<p>to somebody.</p>

<p>A terrorist could use a electromagnetic field to rely on ccw and police magnetic ring thingie guns from operating.</p>

<p>Very bad. Magnetic rings would wreak havoc on cell phones.</p>

<p>Whatever. A bad idea - way too expensive anyways.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519116</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519116</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jul 2015 00:38:50 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Bad idea: "smart guns" on Thu, 30 Jul 2015 00:26:49 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Smart guns don't necessarily have to be self targeting but this could be a problem.
