There is absolutely no advantage to smart guns. Zero. They are an affront to the second amendment and should be fought tooth and nail by everyone who cares at all for their right to keep and bear arms. The military isn't using smart guns. The police are not using smart guns. I'm not using a smart gun either. I wear gloves while I'm on the motorcycle; am I supposed to take them off if I need to use my gun so that it can read my fingerprints? A friend wanted to show me how the fingerprint reader on her iPhone works last night. It took her three tries to get it to work. What if your hand is dirty or bloody or injured? What if your significant other or child or friend needs to use your gun?

Gun locks. Bio-metric safes. Training. Retention holsters. Every "advantage" smart guns are supposed to have can already be accomplished by other means which lack the disadvantages inherent in smart guns.

Finally, I'm sorry, but you can't leave politics out of this question. Politics are the ONLY reason these abominations are being developed. There have already been laws passed saying that as soon as smart guns are available in a given market, all other guns are illegal. That is where this road leads. It ends with the government holding the ability to deactivate any gun it's not holding.

Smart guns aren't. /rant
