Reply #2: The "smart gun" technology advancement is great news [View All]

I would think that this would be a form of "gun control" that everybody could support.
I read something about this technology about a year or so back. They addressed the question of how the guns would respond during a panic inspired grab by the authorized user. I'm not sure what the response was, but I do remember that they talked about it.

While we're on the subject of gun control, I'd like to see a requirement that triggers require a certain minimum foot pounds of force required to activate the trigger. A force that adults could exert, but not children would prevent unnecessary deaths like the one where the six year old shot the other six year old, that was referred to in Michael Moore's, "Bowling for Columbine". It would be easy enough to convert the guns back to a weak, or "hair" trigger if somebody was physically challenged in any way, and needed the modification. Otherwise, it would be nice to see a law that required all guns sold to meet that certain trigger force minimum.
