Re: Smart Guns
"Smart Guns" are a "public safety" minded solution to the issue of firearms that can do damage via simple mechanisms and operation. By design, the "Smart Gun" inserts one or more barriers to operating a firearm, and adds complexity in one way or another to accomplish this. I'd rather any gun I might ever need to use simply work when I pick it up, rather than having to rely on biometric checking, RFID, magnetic or other "keys" to disable an internal lock on the gun itself. If I feel a gun of mine needs to be locked up, it is, but when I pull a gun out of the safe chambering a round is the only operation needed to be able to use it. Only a small percentage or firearms owners/users have them for express public safety reasons. Most have them for personal safety, hunting, sport and other legitimate Liberty-minded reasons.
