Is It Possible to Build a Smarter Gun?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2019
- America is a gun culture. It always has been. With an estimated 260 to 300 million guns in the national gun stock today, firearms aren’t going anywhere. And it would appear the political will to craft robust nationwide gun control legislation remains dead in the water.
But with an epidemic of mass shootings, and gun accidents devastating communities nationwide, a small movement seeks to change the very technology at the heart of firearms. Yet the players behind this movement to create user-authenticated firearms, or so-called smart guns that only fire in the hands of approved users, are blocked at every turn.

A man who immediately puts his finger on the trigger of every gun he handles is making a documentary about how smart guns would be a great improvement for gun safety?
yeah .. people are stupid! Smart guns would prevent these mistakes from being a danger
OR ... Mabey we ban stupid people. I think that would solve a lot of the major problems facing society.
trap king yes. This. Ban idiots
@Donald Soles smart guns would do that but then it would allow more power to people with smart guns what if they use it for murder or to further there own gain what if someone tries to use that gun to save themselves but is locked out so many con and pros to smart guns at the moment there’s to many guns out there that don’t have that kind of tech equipped To it. Even if you try to modify all the guns in world it would cost a lot and would most likely happen when old firearms as such start decaying but guns in general last quite long 😂 the non smart market is just to big METAL GEAR SOLID check it out
@Justin Trudeau yeah I'm completely fine with that idea but they require that much to drive and see how many people are bad drivers still
Maybe instead of smart guns, we need smarter humans.
shino88 if only their were more people like you
Easier to make smart guns, than educate the average american(Who's most of the time proud of their ignorance, for some reason).
Orcawhale but educating the average doesn’t just reduce gun violence it’s like 4 birds with one stone
I came up with a totally new idea while watching this video. Instead of smart guns, there could be smart trigger locks. Place your finger on the detector on the side of the trigger lock, it unlatches, then falls out of the trigger guard and the gun is ready to shoot. No new guns need to be designed as one could buy a smart lock for any gun.
needs smarter people tell that to a 6 year old who are able to their hands on a gun.
“i wouldn’t allow a smart gun within 100Mi. of here”
...30 sec later, guy with smart gun comes into shop🤣🤣🤣🤣
"We can't fix stupidity". The best words and statement in this whole video.
Said by the stupidest person in the whole video. That 🤡 is a joke and it's terrifying that that is the sort of person selling firearms. It wouldn't be surprising at all if one of his kids ended up killing someone, accidentally or otherwise, with a gun once they're old enough.
has his finger on the trigger of every weapon he holds..... wtf
I saw that to
Should have had a smart gun.
informitas 0 lmfao
Exactly this video is ironic when he avoids all safety rules
This goes to show that it’s not the guns fault for killing people it’s stupid people with guns that’s the real problem no cap
“I didn’t expect it to do that.”
That. Is. How. People. Get. Killed.
Please never pick up a firearm again unless you get some training.
@Adolf Shitler did you know basic knowledge doesn't require the handling of a firearm?
The whole point is that he's an **outsider** looking into the world of guns....
Uropig I see people at the gun range all the time with their girlfriend or young teenage children and they look the same way! We all start some time in our lives. I was 20 before i took gun training, it wasn’t part of my childhood. Now i cant buy a gun without tearing it apart and customizing it.
Ive never had a single type of training and own many weapons, whats your point?
Uropig so respect the rules of handling firearms before going balls deep
Imagine being in a gunfight and your guns battery dies
Do you live in a video game? You're worried about an incredibly unlikely scenario that 99.9999% of the time exists only in your imagination.
lol take off the tin foil hat.
Its a joke, go eat some more of your dad's smegma
Agreed, but also something ridiculous that exists is listening to your favorite song and your headphones battery dies 🤑
@@ericstollery1 do you even know the self defense statistics from the cdc or even the fbi
Why does the gun need to be “smart” the owner needs to be smart
Exactly.
Do you support regulation that ensures people can't buy guns unless they are "smart"?
Quoggle what would that be?
@@quoggle9348 we all support common sense.
Well said!! I was sitting here thinking the same thing! Guns are owner operated if the owner is irresponsible then you irresponsible results!
The ATF agent was annoyed AF that he dry fired his 50k Tommy gun. 😂 8:22
NotsoGrim camera man has a misfire in his pants
Oh my God. Lol. Seriously, he looked like he was pissed.
I'd want to punch that guy in the face for pulling some ignorant bullshit like that..
Dry firing a gun doesn't hurt it, you practice a good trigger pull by balancing a dime on the front of your pistol and dry firing it without dropping the coin. Now dry fire a hunting bow, I dare you.
Came straight to the mf comments when he did that 😂
@@kylekrause9568 😂😂
8:22 I can't believe he really just pointed a gun at the camera man and pulled the trigger... This is the kind of stupidity that gets people killed.
This guy is crazy!
You’d think someone who does a documentary about “smart gun technology” would at least be smart enough to understand basic trigger discipline and to only point where you intend to shoot
It was probably done to push vices political agenda. Him doing that says, “Hey there are a lot of crazy people out there who will point guns at people believing it’s unloaded and pull the trigger.” “Therefore we need safer guns.” When in reality, pretty much any average joe knows to never point a gun at someone whether it’s unloaded or not, even if they have never touched a firearm themselves. Someone would have to live in a cave, to never come across these wise words.
hence a smart gun is needed
Exactly
"hey, see that reporter that's walking in right now?"
"Yeah, why?
"Grab me a semi-auto 12 gauge, this is gonna be hilarious"

Thank you! Booger hook. Use it to go bang. Don’t when you don’t. Not hard.
Stop crying safety sally
fractal hahah suck less son
fractal easy policy. Suck less, hook off.
Seriously these law enforcement guys should stay away from guns until they learn trigger discipline.
Tell the reporter to stop putting his finger on the trigger when not in use, that's why people shoot especially with glocks cuz they have no safety
I love glocks and have a couple of my own but just never been a big fan of the no safety
They have a "safety" feature. *cough* If you could call it that.
I have guns with safeties and guns without them what I love about the Glock not having one is it trains your mind to be incredibly careful where as a gun with 3 safeties. Gives you that feeling of everything is good and I tend to be more relax with it. Example a few years ago I had a gun in my pants and the safety switched off from me moving around and I was like nope never doing that again if it’s chambered.
The blocks only had a trigger safety
战火 trigger saftey isn’t even a safety trigger goes boom nothing else ,it’s very stupid , images holstering and u got a shirt caught in it, ur first reaction is to pull the shirt out , guess what congrats u shot ur leg off
8:21 This dude is unbelievable. You never point your gun at anyone unless you want to harm that person, no matter if it is loaded or not.
I would like to quote the amazing lock pick lawyer “if it opens with an internal magnet it can open with a strong enough external magnet”
The point is not that it could be hacked but that a kid cannot use it.

If he doesn't take that finger off that trigger while just holding the gun I'm gonna start yelling.
The gun store owner should have pointed it out to him. Good opportunity to educate about gun safety.
@Matt I felt worried the ATF guys weren't correcting him while he was at their vault filming the guns lol he definitely needs a safety lesson.
You're right to point out how stupid that was but not all of the reporting he did was bad.
@@tony1954 Exactly, my local gun shop always makes sure to tell people the basics of good gun ownership with every purchase, education about gun safety is always important.
@@defcon12 This was definitely an interesting piece and props to everyone involved, gun safety is just a big thing to me lol
Did this guy actually just "accidentally" dry fire a Thompson after just talking with a mother who's son was killed in a gun "accident"! I bet this is the first time he had ever held a gun and nobody taught him how to respect dangerous tools. Let me teach you rule number one, keep the barrel in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
Just was about to post it myself as an ex police officer
PREACH BABY, gun safety always
He pulled the trigger while pointing it right at the cameraman.
Mohd saqib you didn’t have to mention that you are an ex pig lol
dry fired agun the dude said wasworth 4050k
I'll just sit here as an Australian who doesn't have to worry about being shot
I live in Scotland and I may be attacked by a haggis. But so far I've managed to stay alive for 37 years....
I know this is crazy, but in case of an emergency where a gun could be helpful, I don't want to be the only one in the area to be able to use that firearm. I want my friends and family to be able to protect themselves in case I'm incapacitated.
that’s what i was thinking what if i have to pass it off to someone like a family member. no thanks i want my gun to be a dumb gun
you know that it can be programmed for yr entire family if needed
Sure. But still there are people who want and/or need smart guns. This video is not saying to ban conventional firearms.
@@geerenmo We all know what Democrat/liberals ultimate goals are. The current assault weapon ban legislation moving through the motions proves it. Disregarding SCOTUS rulings at that!
If someone takes you down do you want the perp to use your gun ON your family members?
Jesus Christ....this dude's trigger discipline and handling is legitimately terrifying.
Was checking the comments just for this.🙏
Literally never takes his finger off the trigger and even points the gun at his camera man and shoots him. Yeah, real expert here
He's obviously not presenting himself as an expert. This is a generic "guy learns about guns for the first time with the viewer" kinda thing.
But yeah take your finger off the trigger and they should have shut it down when he pulled the trigger while pointing at the camera man
Kilgore Trout booger hook off the trigger for sure. Not that hard. Should know that by now. That’s the main issue with these story’s. Rest of the deaths is a human problem. We suck at knowing our animal selfs and brains.
He's not a gun expert, he's a journalist you div
McFro95 still should know how to safely use a gun. That’s kinda the point of the ep. it’s not hard. Also is an re post from 2017. This isn’t ok to do as a journalist. Can’t run a smart gun piece from 17 and pretend like tech hasn’t evolved as tech does. Journalism fail all day. Either side of the argument.
'We never owned guns' - as said by everyone who ever wanted to pass a gun control law.
Also said by the crowds waiting for hours outside gun stores during covid 🤣
When someone breaks into my house I don’t want to have to enter a pin to shoot my gun
Don't most people keep them in a safe? So it would actually be quicker 🤔
@@luckystartzzz alot dont though so it will make it longer
@@luckystartzzz most take it out and store it under the bed at night
Exactly on any firearm the most important over looked safety is between the ears
All hypothetical, the chances of someone breaking into your house and you getting ready to shoot a gun is very low
Bro my fingerprint sensor on my phone only works like 70% of the time.
yea but what would that number be if you were in a tense situation with clammy hands?
Why not use multiple fingerprints to unlocks like all 5 then the chances of unlocking would be higher.
@@AmiyaKSahoo Or have no fingerprint sensors and it will work all the time
@@AmiyaKSahoo 5 more fingers to fail idiot and I hope you know finger print scanners some times read wrong finger prints as right
My first phone that had a fingerprint scanner it didn't work at all now the one I have it's probably 1/5 times it will fail
The most dangerous thing about guns in this film is the dangerous handling of them by the interviewer.

3 problems with that young fellows gun 1)it can be disabled by an emp device 2) you can easily lose ur finger in a gun fight3)it needs to be charged
Also won't work if finger is dirty or greasy
isnt this supposed to prevent accidental deaths? i dont think anyone is gonna accidentally set of an EMP
Ha ha ha ha, 1) at what point that you are protecting your house from a random person and they use a emp on you.... 2) why would you suddenly loss your finger? 3) keeping it charged? Not exactly, if you know much about electronics it wouldn't use much power and can alert you when it is low.
You're whatiffing a lot. Could apply that to literally everything!
This could work. The government would have to incentivize this. Like permit owners of smart guns to carry them everywhere.
I still can’t get over how this guy almost smoked his cameraman😅😅
Time stamp? Lol
I’ve seen videos of gun RUclipsrs at events like shot show for example that have fingers on triggers during those shows. (I don’t want to misspeak but I feel like I’ve seen Ian from forgotten weapons do this)

That submachine is worth roughly 50thousand dollars and its price is only ever going to go up.
Dry firing can damage the internal parts of a firearm so pulling the trigger (which is a very foolish amurtish thing to do to begin with) even made me a little sick in my stomach.
Imagine if someone got into your luxury car and started playing with all the buttons like a child, let alone turning it on revving the shit out of it and turning it off without putting it back into park.
@@alecnolastname4362 Dry firing will definitely not damage any well built firearm. In fact, most in most training situations, we are expected to dry fire
@@rapl1183
Ultimately its dependent on the firearm, that being a 70year old piece...
@@rapl1183 vibrations In the firing pin can and will crack it.
@@alecnolastname4362 Then you install a new one if that ever happens. The entire point of function testing a firearm involves dry firing. The same goes for the Thompson. It's a POS if it can't handle being dry fired a few thousand times in it's life. The exception is rimfire firearms, which only are damaged because the firing pin hits the chamber wall instead of an actual cartridge.
imagine ur hands getting sweaty in a fire fight and ur gun doesnt recognize ur finger print
Well kiss your family goodbye
Yeah, fingerprint I.D. for guns is not the best idea. But I like the idea of the gun that responds to a chip implanted in hand. If my country had guns like the U.S., I dont think I'd get one though. I agree that if anything has the chance of going wrong, then it's not effective as a weapon (unless you had like a bayonet on it or something)
Or if you wear gloves like many shooters, including most of the military.
Imagine ur hands getting sweaty in a fire fight and ur gun Slips out of ur Hand. same logic. Do u really think in a world with machines smarter than humans it is not possible to invent a reliable safety mechanism for a gun ??
@@tobiasb.winkemann9376 If your hands get so sweaty that your weapon slips out of your hands, you probably have some sort of medical issue with grip strength or excessive perspiration. And no, a fingerprint sensor is *not* a proper safety mechanism for a weapon. Have you ever handled a firearm or even looked at one up close? Notice that on pretty much every firearm the safety devices and mechanism are entirely *mechanical,* not electronic. Electronics are nowhere as reliable as mechanical devices. Remington tried to market a rifle and ammunition that used electrically fired primers (to put it in elementary terms for you: you needed batteries to make the gun go bang-bang). Despite the Etronix system being _very_ accurate, it was a commercial flop because nobody wanted a rifle that could fail to fire in an emergency due to dead batteries or electronics burning out, etc.
The only applications for electronically fired weapons tend to be things like M134 Miniguns and autocannons which are generally mounted on vehicles that have no problem generating electricity.
You know the ATF gets it wrong when only one guy is wearing eye protection on the range

I watch this knowing I’ve always had my loaded weapons around my now 8 year old child since birth and never has he ever been curious enough to try to pick one up. That’s probably been since birth he’s been taught about firearms, knows exactly what they can do, and has been taught to be safe with them. At 8 years old he has such a respect for the firearm that any time he even wants to touch his own .22 he comes to me so he knows that I know his intention.
Yeah but not every parent is responsible enough to educate their child

I would like to point out how the vice representative has his finger on the trigger while admiring firearms, if you are going to talk about gun safety, maybe make sure you have someone who knows a little bit about firearm safety
What he knows or doesn’t know is irrelevant. His job is to be a vessel in which the interviewee can share information. He isn’t telling you anything.
That's really a perfect example for why smart guns are a great idea. It's simply a fact that everyone doesn't know how to safely handle a firearm, but a lot of people can get access to them through family and friends, and when you get a little too comfortable and curious, accidents happen.
@@doqtorisykero977 200,000,000 gun owners in america alone, and only about 500 accidental gun deaths each year. I would have to say a majority of us are responsible.

I cried a little when the mother told her story Rest In Peace kid and stay strong momma, I don’t think the smart gun thing is really practical yet but as tech improves I could see some of this becoming more effective and fail safe and the result could potentially do some good so good on you guys, coming from a gun owner who is concerned about gun regulation , and does not want the government to go enforcing unconstitutional edict forcing people to use them.

Having said that, my grandfather shot himself climbing over a gate, with a ring and smart gun he'd have survived.
With 22,000 suicides and a mass shooting somewhere everyday in the US the time is right for a smart weapon, Michael the gun shop owner is old school, his thinking will never change.
It's quite telling that Smith & Wesson suffered a huge backlash from the NRA, they want guns to work, not, might work and anything that restricts their freedoms given in the second amendment.
A good comparison would be seatbelts in vehicles, once there were none, then they fitted for the front seats but were mainly looked upon as an accessory but because of the road crash statistics they changed the law, nowadays everybody has to wear one, even on buses and coaches and many thousands of lives are saved.
Let's face it, the people who go rogue with a gun and cause mass shootings are mostly psychologically unhinged lone males.
I don't want a "smarthammer", I want a dang hammer.

@Anonymous Panacea I collect vintage firearm's because I like the story and history associated with the gun I shoot them all, not all at the same time because I only have 2 arms and you need 2 to use 1 firearm. Regarding the smart gun thing, I don't really believe it will become viable and safe until battery technology gets better and "charging your gun" is not going to be something to worry about. Even then nobody that's ever owned a gun would willingly purchase a gun that has not been tested rigorously, purchase a gun from a company that doesn't have the legacy of other manufacturers, and furthermore trust their life to a gun that has a parameter to operate because seconds count when your life is in danger.
Well to be fair, not every one is buying every gun for self defense purposes. If you buy a gun for hunting or skeet shooting or plinking or just to have a cool looking gun or any other non-fighting reason, nothing bad happens if it isnt 100% reliable. Exactly as with the arisaka example (that was actually a really good one).
@Anonymous Panacea smartphones only last days if they're turned off, what you don't understand is it's not a waste to have multiple guns, the same way people collect stamps, baseball cards, Pokemon cards, cars , anything they like, I also do the same it just so happens I like guns. I don't know what you like but I do collect and in the United States of America it is a reflection of this countries greatness that you can do for the most part whatever you want as long as no one gets hurt.

“No smart guns” Kalashnikov hold my beer
Dude really needs a lesson in trigger discipline ... surprised nobody at the ATF set him straight
BramptonGora atf aren’t fun people. So they probably don’t know any better
The ATF are incompetent bureaucrats themselves, so it's not a shock
The host is ignorant on guns, even completely misused one in an early clip, you always treat a gun as if it is loaded.
Instead he wanted to goof around with his camera man's life to be artsy, truly disgusting.
Luckysquirrel1256 Pretty sure that’s what happened with that poor lady’s son..
yeah and notice the cop or whoever was giving the tour barely flinched?
"lets take something that has to be 100% reliable like your life depends on it and add delicate computer chips, batteries and tiny moving parts that will face thousands of shocks and bumps. nothing could possibly go wrong here." I'd never ever trust my life to a smart gun.
Even if they could make one reliable, they will be defeated. by determined folks. and the hundreds of millions of guns out there right now certainly aren't going anywhere.
Nobody is buying a 1940's vintage Arisaka for defense or reliability. That gun is basically only bought by people for fun/collections.
"Hi, I'm the media, and I know what's best for you. Wait, let me just point a Tommy Gun at the camera man and pull the trigger lol"
Liberals be like lol
Liberalism is a mental disorder
lmao it wasnt loaded, calm your tits. You really think they would keep a loaded gun in a warehouse with almost every singly type of gun in the world?
How many people got hurt saying I didn’t think it was loaded
Where I find this ironic is how the reporter starts to "show off" the gun and it fired, probably much like how that little boy died. Folks, keep your guns locked up and learn your gun safety and maybe we can avoid these tragic deaths.
"We've never owned guns"
But let me make laws for you
How about you do the four main gun safety rules when handling a firearm too?
1) Keep your finger of the trigger
2) Treat a firearm as if it is always loaded
3) keep the gun pointed in a safe direction at all times
4) know what your target is and what is beyond it
I own an air gun and regularly shoot in my garden, behind my target was a soft material to slow the pellets, and behind that was a piece of wood that would make the pellets ricochet into the ground if any pellets got past the soft material. When I'm reloading it I keep it on safe, when I go towards my target i break the barrel downwards so I'm sure the rifle can't fire the pellet forwards at all. Smart guns are just an extra safety and that's it.
Be a responsible parent! Don't leave your guns loaded, don't store guns with is ammunition if you know that your child could potentially get to your guns.
Im disappointed i had to scroll this far down the comments to see someone actually reasonable and constructive. Kudos to you, and i generally agree. I would not relinquish my 2nd amendment, and would staunchly oppose mandates for new gun technology, but i can't understand why so many are so strongly against even having these options. I love the last guy's bio-hacker technology, and i think if its something that you *want* you should be able to get.
@@forthexp8649 I'm not against it, but with guns, literally anything could fail you in the situation where you need a gun, the ammunition hang fires or doesn't fire at all, the gun has just enough fouling still in the mechanics to jam it. You aren't holding the weapon correctly, and the grip safety isn't released as a result. While it's nice to make sure I've got a safety, adding another safety on top of a manual safety and grip safety just adds so many more possibilities for failure. If you use a fingerprint for your phone, how many times has it told you that you haven't perfectly placed your finger the right way, or there's somehow too much moisture on your finger? I would guess that it happens at least once a day, that means we have to wait longer to use our guns, and that is critical in those specific situations where you need it immediately.
P.S. I feel like I might have completely misunderstood your argument, please just tell me if I have
@@forthexp8649 why are you opposed to innovation? If this technology is perfected to be as reliable as your standard fire arm then there is no reason for not having it. If we can stop people from killing others than we should. The second amendment is for your own defense. It is not just an excuse to have a weapon that can efficiently kill multiple people in seconds. Remember that the second amendment was written with muskets in mind. We need to get all semi automatic and full automatic guns out of civilian hands, because the truth is, you only need one bullet to take down an attacker.
@@sumvs5992 The problems with things such as fingerprints can be ironed out if we would let these companies do some god damn research without destroying their reputation.
The law they want to make just requires you to store it in a safe place. If you are a responsible gun owner this wouldn’t effect you.
Here's my take...
Smart Gun:
- Possibility that the system could fail, now this person could have lost there life due to this.
- What if you have home defense, the owner is gone and it only was registered to him, now it's rendered useless
- Gun prices, theres a chance the prices would go up maybe $50 my idea due to the system implementation
- Someone who intends to kill multiple people, will not care about the system because it works for them
Downside To Making One?
- The reason this is not being developed, is probably because companies don't want the hate. They know the issues that could happen making it, I just believe it's not worth there time
- I don't believe the market is big enough
We can’t make laws based on emotion, that’s how we end up with stuff like the Patriot Act
But we can draft laws for the modern citizen, responsible firearm owners want guns out of crazies too.
Agreed, there are over 20,000 gun laws on the books already (state and federal laws), adding another isn’t going to make a crazy person or criminal less likely to act in a crazy/criminal way
A kid shot by another child is "emotional" ?! You're a that dude.
Tell me who “that dude” is in this situation, I’m sure you know all about me and the things I believe
I mean how many times has your phone not worked? Seriously not ok, especially under stress god forbid.
Imagine, someone breaks into your house and your gun doesn't recognize you...
Imagine, your gun used against you...
@@philipmendorensis8687 funny cuz that suggests the person is dumb for putting the gun somewhere the criminal can get to it before they do which means having a lock on it wouldnt matter cuz the person would still be dumb its almost like its not the weapons fault but the ppl using it but thats just a common sense observation giving agency to the person rather than a inanimate object.
jaffartheblade or you get overpowered
@@bookwalker3203 which wouldn't matter if you had a gun or sword or knife then the gun just gives you a even playing field cuz you can be weaker then them and still fend them off cuz a bullet doesn't care how strong or weak you are and that also suggests they close the distance before you pull the trigger which means they know you have a gun and most won't risk that and will try to run those who do charge still get hit and being wounded in a fight is always a disadvantage no matter how strong you are especially when it's a bullet wound no one's the flash and unless they are alrdy on top of you their chances are very low and even if they are on top of you it's now a grapple fight and the second you can get that muzzle on any part of their body you simply pull the trigger and I'd welcome you to try it tell me how the dirt tastes when you end up shot.
I can guarantee you more ppl shoot attackers with their gun then attackers shooting ppl with their gun.
@@jaffartheblade You do know that if someone what's something badly even if they get shot they will continue moving the only way you are going to stop them is if you Shoot them in a vital place so u can still get overpowerd.
If it’s taken away more than 10inches from the watch and has a pin code. “Hold on Mr. Bad Guy let me type this in real quick”
“I wouldn’t let A smart gun be 100 miles of this facility!” *laughs in street sweeper*
We dont need smart guns we need smart people
Mic drop
too bad most the people with guns are inbred
Miles how often do interact with people who own guns?
@@supernovamimosa No no no you are confused with the middle east.
Easier to make the gun smarter.
I HAVE a "Smart" Safe that opens by fingerprint....
IT DON'T WORK HALF THE TIME.
Get a better one. Current gen readers are much better. That being said I dont think that's the way to go for guns.
I have an android smartphone and an iPhone that unlock with facial recognition or fingerprint authentication and they work pretty much all the time, I'd say the rate of failure with guns and current-gen phone security failing is worth considering. You can believe in the tech to keep your data safe but not to keep your kids safe? The solutions that independent researchers are trying to implement with smart guns are not very polished or high tech but it's stupid if someone says that the tech doesn't exist to make efficient smart guns without screwing with usability. It's like saying that phone security decreases the reliability of making a call in an emergency. How often has someone not been able to make a phone call in an emergency because their phone wouldn't unlock?
Do you not own a phone?
Step up from your Walmart Safe, itll save you on that problem...
Imagine posting a comment saying you're too cheap to buy a good safe.
That gun store owner spoke the absolute truth about self security for your firearms. There is no reason for a child or anyone else to have access to your firearm if it is secured properly in a plentifully supplied manner. The only reason someone could access it is because you were not responsible enough to secure your firearm. A simple locking drawer is enough to keep a child out but it's the bare minimum you can do to secure a firearm. They don't make bedside quick access safes for no reason. There is a way to keep a firearm safe, it is the owners responsibility to do so.
8:22 thats what they always say
Yes a gun has a normal safety, but the biggest way to make sure a gun doesn't go off is TO KEEP YOUR DAMN FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER!!
One good thing about being from the south, if I ever accidentally pointed a gun in the direction of my uncle while we were shooting, he'd slap me on the head. You learn gun safety pretty fast.
Ace2Trill probably the only good thing about being from the south. Besides, you shouldn’t need someone to slap you on your head to understand that you shouldn’t point it to someone else.
High gun ownership states have the highest death rate of kids killing their friends.
@@montcliffeekuban1335 the south has the highest rate of accidental gun deaths
8:22 "SAY 'LEARN TO CODE' ONE MORE TIME"
22:02 and beyond. I agree, you can't rely on smart guns to fix parents stupidity 🤭; It will backfire one way or another.
Al Capone is looking down at the atf's tommy collection going like, man thoses were mine once.
just put breathalyzers in all cars you will saves hundreds of thousands of lives
That can be bypassed by using a balloon you blew up before you started drinking and tied a knot to.
Or a fan attached to a tube. Or a rubens ballon (used for resuscitation). So no that's not a good idea.
Actually way fewer people die from accidents caused by DUIs than from guns. But I actually think that would make sense, too.
@@user-mz6ts4xn6i No it can't. Temperature sensor, literally just two resistors and a wire. Costs less than 2ct
@@komentierer actually if you remove suicide, 15,800 people died by a gun in 2018 and around 12,000 people died due to being under the influence..
@@user-mz6ts4xn6i I doubt it...the new machines are very fancy...but I'm not speaking from experience so you might be correct
38:46 the smart gun guy removed the airbag of his car ^^
This dude claiming guns haven’t seen any innovation *while* walking through a varied library of unique and improved guns is mind boggling. This is what happens when you send someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
This isn’t gonna work, your fingerprint doesn’t always register and the magnetic one has already been busted 😂
That reporter made me feel uneasy, he should be red flagged
Chris Ruggieri XD
This is my favorite comment ever. In the decade+ that I've used RUclips.
Im holding a ghost gun as i watch this lol
Tyson Briggs atta boy! I have, Milled metal.. on many.

Mike Jim lol it’s legal. Thank you. Lol
Mike Jim what are you gonna report me for commie
Tyson Briggs he’s joking my guy
The reason we have smart phones and no smart guns is because those are two different devices. A cell phone is a computer and radio transceiver, it can't operate without a microprocessor so smart technology can be incorporated as a subroutine. A gun is simply a pipe closed at one end with a object and explosive inside. If you have a firearm with smart tech on it a criminal can simply tear it off and Jerry rig it. The people who suggest these kind of things never even built an ikea set let alone a gun. Guns are too simple in design to legislate away out of the hands of the bad guys.
There's also the point that I occasionally spend 5 minutes trying to unlock my Motorola smart phone. After a shower especially. That's from a company that spends a large chunk of research on perfecting unlock tech. When I can't unlock my smart phone RUclips comments just have to wait.
When I can't unlock my smart gun will I ask the person threatening my life to wait?
ATF: locks your gun
Also ATF: kicks in your door
*lets have some fun*
The briefcase, the umbrella, and the pen are all smart guns😂
The fact that people would rather make legislation to prevent less than 500 accidents as opposed to turning their attention to mental health and preventing 22,000 suicides is mind blowing.
Well suicide is the decision of the person while being killed by somebody you dont want that
That ATF agent seems like a cool guy we would probably be friends if he wasn't working for the feds.
Lol you think the feds care about you. 👀
Bro he’s fronting
Finland is also an gun culture. It always been top 10. In 2008 we had an infamous school shooting, which was is very easy to get an 9m. If you're an finnish citizen prove as "sane" you could get an 9m as low 16. After the school shooting, they raise the age...to 18.
Smart guns won't work because any kind of malfunction is an instant death sentence. If you're using your gun then you're in a life or death situation, the last thing you need is for the technology to malfunction in some form and result in you dying because of it. Even guns malfunction at a rate that's concerning to many people and result in deaths. How many times have you tried using the fingerprint scanner on your phone only for it to not recognize you? Now think you're in a situation where you need to use your firearm to defend yourself and your gun does the same thing, and now you're dead. This concept does more harm than good, I'm not saying more guns are th answer but I am saying smart guns would be a detrimental step in the wrong direction and would have serious consequences.
yeah, if you have wet hands the thing won't work
"America is a gun culture" aannnnddd cue the spooky music lol
It is a gun culture. Spooky music was a cheat shot.
It is scary. The fact we think having more guns than people is a good idea. The fact that fanatics walk the streets packing two handguns and a rifle in their vehicle. To protect the people? No, to give themselves an edge. Join the military if you want to be a gun toting child.
Z Fragz I think there should be more gun control, but I don’t see anything wrong with a person having more guns than they could ever need. I mean, they aren’t doing anything bad with it. Perhaps my biggest problem with these people is that they’re supporting an industry that benefits from, and encourages, scaremongering. The NRA is an organization, I think, deserves blame for the partisan landscape we see today
@@phong208 Most of us do/did, that's why we advocate for guns so much. Also, regardless of military service, you have the right to self-defense regardless.
@@phong208 People who carry legal firearms are 'fanatics' for wanting to protect themselves?
To give themselves an edge? Over who? Criminals? To combating criminals and not being a statistic? Youre wildly stupid and this is why guns are never going away, because its morons like you that spearhead it and instead, yous get laughed at. Please sit. Just because you have freedom of speech doesnt mean you should use it.
a water molecule on my finger will render my fingerprint scanner on my phone useless
So how do I get a tour of this gun vault with range shooting at the end?
