The anti gunners keep focusing on the wrong thing.....they care more about the law abiding gun owner and their legal gun.....trying to heap more and more levels of useless paperwork and regulations on them, than they do about actual criminals who actually use illegal guns to commit crimes.....if they focused on keeping violent criminals in jail, all of their gun control goals would actually happen......
Here we have the latest White Whale of the gun control world...the smart gun...a gun that they believe will only let one human fire it......which they believe will keep a criminal from using it. Now....if they would only lock up the criminal when they catch them, that becomes irrelevant......
But now we see the cutting edge in Smart Gun tech.....is easily defeated by criminals......
Anybody Can Fire This 'Locked' Smart Gun With $15 Worth of Magnets
And most disturbingly, he can mechanically disable the gun's locking mechanism by placing some cheap magnets alongside its barrel, firing the gun at will even when the watch is completely absent.
Plore notes that unlike many gun owners, he's not opposed to the principle of a gun with added layers of electronic authentication. But he says the politicized debate over smart guns hasn't examined the far more basic question of whether they actually provide the security they promise. "If you buy one of these weapons thinking it’ll be safer, it should be," Plore says. "In this case, it was so easily defeated, in so many ways, that it really failed to live up to its side of that bargain...Misplaced trust is worse than no trust at all."
So.....if you think like an anti-gunner......the next step...is to make a law that says if you steal a Smart Gun and use it to commit a crime, it would now be illegal to use magnets to make it actually work....
And that sort of thinking is the problem with anti-gunners.
