https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...f39c_story.html Smart gun tech has bigger problems than the tech itself. I live near this gun store and was excited to get to try them but noooooooo

Gropiemon posted:https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...f39c_story.html I think that has more to do with some gun-unfriendly places trying to make untried/unuseful/unworkable tech mandatory for all firearms. There are people advocating smart gun tech be mandatory right now even though it's crap. Also a lot of people are also fed up with the gun restriction stuff too. We were told that there would be rivers of blood in the streets when the assault weapons ban went out of effect. Instead, infuriatingly I know, the opposite has been happening.

Only half the number of innocent people dying compared to twenty years ago is not an argument for continuing to make guns so freely available. Look I know you have a tiny dick, but can't you channel that rage into something productive?

 A military instructor helps a boy to shoot a weapon loaded with blanks at an exhibition during a military show in St. Petersburg, Russia, on January 17, 2016. Would you like to know more? http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2016/01/photos-of-the-week-116-122/426615/

LogisticEarth posted:Aside from the whole complexity/power issue, the ID is the biggest problem. You only need a couple stories about a wife or uncle or something that got killed because the gubmint mandated smart-gun wouldn't let them defend themselves because they weren't on the weapon's approved user list when they needed it. Personally I'd never buy one as just keeping the thing secured properly is just as safe with none of the cost or reliability questions. Guess they should've trusted their wife/uncle enough to add their thumbprint to the SafetyScanTechnologytm, then that tragedy wouldn't have happened (In the same way that my girlfriend can unlock my smartphone), because that is a thing that will happen.

Because there are far more useful things that can be done than stop making guns "freely available". And my tiny penis is none of your business. Your mom's business, not yours.

Unfortunately it won't do anything to prevent murder-suicides among family members either.

Guns for all. But only blank bullets allowed.  e; suicide will still be a problem. But murder will be a lot more difficult for sure.

It is my entirely unscientific hypothesis that this isn't to do with the economy, gun laws, leaded gas, or Roe v Wade. I think videogames did it.  More kids inside playing xbox means fewer kids outside doing dumb poo poo with guns.

I can't wait for smart guns because when their software randomly crashes and they start unloading their entire mag into whatever the gun happens to be pointing at maybe people will figure out oh hey, guns DO kill people!

Guavanaut posted:I think it's more referring to the fantasists who repeatedly construct scenarios where they get to kill people legally despite living in a safe suburban area and the people that put up signs like this: Having followed Tim Kreider for years and read most of the blurbs on his site, it's literally this. For context's sake, it was published on 11/06/02, right in the beating heart of post-9/11 America. And Kreider was, for years, basically fueled by his despair and hate of the Bush administrations- so much so that he quit cartooning soon after Obama was elected; he had burned out. It all gets tangled together in something of a mess, when it comes to his cartoons in that era. quote:Like the manufacturers of any other useless product, they're selling a fantasy--in this case, a fantasy of power and security for people who feel impotent and terrified. It's the same fantasy, I think, behind the Cheney Doctrine, this idea that you can defeat all your enemies and control every other country in the world and finally no one anywhere will ever be able to hurt you again. It's insane and hopeless. The unsaleable truth is that some total stranger, some mean little loser like John Mohammed, could kill you or the people you love at any moment and there's nothing you can buy that's going to change that or make you feel any better about it, except maybe crack.

But I believe most rational people would want the most effective means of defense possible. I don't know if it's more or less effective than anything, but I live in a very violent city where armed robberies and such are a common occurrence and I understand the feeling of wanting to have any means of personal defense. Not so long ago a dentist was tortured and then burned alive during a robbery at her clinic. I can't blame someone wanting to have a gun to feel safer against this kind of horror and I wouldn't call that cowardice.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2315092/Dentist-dies-robbers-douse-petrol-set-alight-practice.html

Hickock45 is a cool dude with cool videos, but he has a definite editorial bias towards more firepower = better than less. In an apartment or house in an urban area, I don't want to freak out because some dude broke in and dump an entire magazine of .223 at him and then find out that a stray killed my neighbor. Besides, those loving things are expensive, and grandad's shotgun is cheap.
