Will This Smart Gun Solve America’s Gun Problem?

If the fingerprint scanner succeeds in identifying the fingerprint of the person, the user can access step two: checking to see if you’re in range. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is on the user’s person within a short distance, and the holster checks to see if the tag is in range. “It’s similar to keyless car entry,” Clarke said, explaining the RFID tag.

How much effort would it have been for the shooter to take his dead mother's finger and swipe it on the scanner? And since he planned the shooting for close to 2 years, how hard would it have been for him to have found her RFID tag?

Morons.

The idea of "smart guns" is stupid. The more parts you add to anything, the more chance it can fuck up.

Like the say, "The loudest sound in the world is a "bang" when you're expecting a click, or a "click" when you're expecting a bang."
