On the subject of 'smart guns' and electronics:
Additionally, when it comes to electronic-ignition firearms, I’m sure our opponents would positively love
semi-automatic firearms that could be converted to fully automatic with
a firmware hack, which would beg the question as to whether
semi-automatics with electronic ignition were “readily convertible” and
thus Title II firearms out of the gate. It would certainly be a novel
theory that could be used to prosecute some unlucky bastard. If you’re
going to make a smart electronic ignition system, then certainly
detecting an out-of-battery condition is an obvious safety feature. You
can see how this then becomes very easy.
The antis really have no idea what kind of can of worms they are
opening. They don’t much care because their interest in smart guns only
goes as far as making guns more difficult and expensive to own, while
simultaneously lowering the value proposition of gun ownership. If the
technology actually worked, you’d quickly see interest disappear as it
became apparent it was not only easy to circumvent, but could open a
whole world of new possibilities for people intent on disregarding the
law.
That's not just monkeys coming out of that barrel, they're rabid.
