I have a fingerprint enabled electronic door lock. I am very happy with it and usually works great EXCEPT for the times I'm in a hurry and really need access. The stupid thing stops working and i'm standing there like an idiot trying to unlock it. I noticed minimal humidity, water content, skin state of fingertip, dirt and oil seems to disable the highly accurate sensor. Only way to make it work is to wipe sensor and finger clean and hope it works.
since it can but unlocked by smartphones, its possible for someone to hack into it. more technology means just more ways to get around simple common sense.
My father taught me all about gun safety with his service revolver when I was a little kid before I hit double digits. Got the whole nine yard lecture and another lecture about how to respect them and why it’s our right to have them. Never handled it without his permission or him bringing me to the range. Seriously. If you can teach a child about gun safety and they get the message. Adults have no excuse.
Honestly I see the smart gun or small gun safe as a secondary protection layer for redundancy. I’m not a trained user, so I want that redundancy. Having said that, you’re right about the importance of education.
This video was marked as having "self-harm" in it, and I had to say "I understand and wish to proceed'. But it kept closing the video within about half a second of the page opening. Good grief, how aggravating! And there's just a small amount of discussion for "self-harm". Oh, and don't buy smart guns. Seriously. These security measures never work correctly. I'm a tech professional and I have to deal with software with this type of design constantly. Apart from basic password auth, security software always has false negatives when handling authentication. 100% guarantee that these will cost lives because a smart gun doesn't correctly identify the gun owner. There's never a point when it starts working correctly. This is technology that only exists to make the gun *not* fire. When you're in a life or death situation, do you really want to trust a gun that has it?
It is also so that the government has remote access to your weapons, much like our devices and our electricity, so that they can achieve their goal of disarming the people and attaining total control.
Ahh "smart" guns.. I love it when the most deeply evil things in the world are hidden behind words like "smart, safe, justice, equality, common sense, fairness, greater good" and etc. Cars are full of electronics, they can be hacked/tracked. Hidden in the infrastructure bill that was just passed, it will be mandatory for all new cars after 2026 to have a kill switch that police/government can operate. In a few years, for guns this will be mandatory because "muh safety and muh common sense". What a commie wet dream. Disable all guns with a switch/EMP. For the love of all that is holy - DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy into this nonsense. The more this technology spreads the sooner they'll shove this down everybody's throat.

@@DesertStateNevada I predict that manufacturers will go broke when no one buys their electric do-dads. I would also consider how these smart guns are to be powered; electronics have to have power, so there's going to be that issue to deal with.
@@waynegroves6922 And I predict that leftist administrations/states/cities will subsidize this in some way, and even though at first it will be expensive for them and it will be like flushing money down the drain, they're gonna play this long term. They're gonna try to spread this as much as possible to get more and more people used to it.
No matter how “smart” guns become, they will never outweigh the destructive force of a dumb or evil person pulling the trigger. It’s far smarter to educate about firearm safety and make sure a sufficient part of the population has the tools to defend themselves. This is such old wisdom, but it never catches on.
Because none of these laws they try to pass are really about safety. Nobody is bigger on gun safety than actual gun owners. But they don't want to talk about that. If it was about gun safety, they would mandate firearm safety courses in high schools throughout the country.
Forgotten weapons recently did a video about a smart gun that seems to be pretty well designed for a very specific purpose. It has a fingerprint reader and a facial recognition scanner, either of which can activate the gun. It has a number of other features designed to prevent potential problems; it can detect if you let go of it so that it locks up again so if someone takes it from you it won’t fire, the trigger mechanism is electronic so you can’t easily make it a regular gun, and it doesn’t connect to the internet and it stored all the information inside the gun. I’m sure it’s still not perfect and will probably be stupidly expensive, but it’s purpose as a bedside gun that prevents children or others from firing it without making it slower for the owner to access it. It’s basically a system with most of the advantages of a safe without the drawbacks of a safe
@@antonfuchs7300 and if it is a firing mechanism that did use electronics to set it off it would be 10 minutes before someone finds out how to make ot FA
Best case scenario, they drop 100 bucks on a p80 frame and make it "dumb" again. But they'll have computer programs to hack into "smartguns" like they do with smartphones.
I was raised in a house with many guns never secured and always loaded. But my dad taught me about safety and the dangers of them. Obviously no accidents happened.
Same. My dad had a gun on the nightstand by my parents bed and NEVER ONCE did I ever touch it. My dad was a gunsmith for 25 years so I grew up in a gun store, I knew what they were, and I knew what they were capable of. It's that simple and I'm teaching my kids all the same things.
I knew where he kept the key, still the 3 of us are still around. My kids go to the range and start pointing out people who don't have finger or muzzle discipline, so proud of them. If someone wants to buy a Glock/Android gun, more power to them. But no way in hell making them mandatory.
My sons saw the black rifle cases underneath my bed and asked what is it. At that point it was nothing but safety, safety, safety. Well before they were taken to the gun range. My sons are responsible enough not to touch, play or even open the gun safe that I have now without strict supervision from myself. But again, that was all in the months of safety that I gave them… Keep up the good work, and information you give us Colion. All the way from Southern Maryland my man…..
Or how would it hold up to extremes in temprature, would it be sustainable for extended range sessions with the constant recoil it would have to endure?

Not only would they be able to shut you down but should you unlock it you would have to answer to the Big brother as to why you unlocked your firearm which could be potentially part of an issue s*** they may even make it a law that you cannot unlock it without their permission.
Where does it end? Kids getting ahold of their parents guns and doing harm to themselves or others is a the fault of the gun OWNER. NOT THE GUN! Do we blame our vehicles when our kids sneak the keys, go for a joyride, and crash the vehicle, potentially harming others or themselves? No! That again falls to the parent. This is just getting ridiculous.

Just like your cars today, electrical nightmare & expensive to fix. Can you imagine the smart gun braking down in a time of need! Always trying to change what doesn't need changing!
Any firearm company that is participating in the development of this technology, and anyone who is donating money to finance this dystopian masochism should be boycotted and publicly shamed/humiliated!!!
This has to be a T shirt. “If you can teach your kid not to touch a stove you can teach them not to touch a gun”. Most common since thing I’ve heard in a while
First "Know your Children". As a single parent the moment my daughter was at the point of being able to walk and started waking prior to myself at times and able to reach up on a breakfast bar counter top and grab (out of love) and destroy a pack of cigarettes, a alarm in my head went off. I think at the time she was in or just shy of being in kindergarten , I had a talk with her. I showed her my one firearm (fully secured/unloaded) and explained if she ever see's anything like this Do not Touch go get a adult. I then let her hold it so she can know that real guns can sometimes look and weigh like a toy and explained again why it is bad/dangerous to touch. When she got a bit older and could safely hold my 22 rifle I took her to the range. A lot of responsible gun owners do this, it is and should be the nature thing to do. Just as you tell them never touch the stove or look both ways before crossing the street and explain why. Gun safety is no different. So, I would say to any Anti-gunner out there, just because you have a fear or dislike towards firearms and may have none in your home, other possible dangerous items still exists in the world. Parent/raise your child to be smart and think before acting this is part of what a parent does. I don't trust certain items with a battery that is suppose to save my life. That's just foolish and flirting with disaster, part of being prepared is having options not taking away options and or reliability. There is a time and place for everything including smart tech. And on my hip is not one. Good luck with a battery operated gun I'll stick to my old school mechanically human operated sidearms. No thank you please....
@@dnpchallenge EMPs will likely disable an electronic gun, who knows the politicians might require GPS on the gun so criminals will be able to rob you when you have a lot of cash or rob your home when your away from your house, while some gun manufacturers are having a tough time designing reliable guns.

@@thinkingimpaired5663 Yeah, let Brandon's body guards use smart guns, it would be hilarious to see him being attacked because his body guard team's guns were jammed. But spreading this technology in any way will come back to haunt us in a matter of time.
"personalized smart guns that can only be fired by verified users" sounds like a form of gun registry to me. Also, what will stop the government from wirelessly disarming those registered gun owners at anytime?
I would love to hear your opinion on the smart gun from bio arms. There's is a fingerprint recognition as well as a camera recognition when it comes to face
Imagine you go to defend yourself and your gun shows up the buffering icon Also, let's bring up the obvious of the government tracking everytime you put your hand on a gun (including range practice and dry fire drills) and using that in court to turn you into a gun nut
So I won't be able to fire my gun unless I buy a $50/month ATT 5Ge data plan or always have my gun connected to wifi, then the battery can drain cuz it has to be in range of my phone's Bluetooth at all times?
Safe gun storage worked like this when I was growing up. My FATHER instructed me in firearms. He also informed me that NO GUN WAS TO BE TOUCHED WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION, because consequences would follow. I've NEVER played with an unattended accessible gun. Good parenting had a lot to do with gun safety in our home.
From the northern Arkansas Ozarks, never would've known as a kid that people didn't grow up with rifles setting in the corners. I realized it the first time I went to the shooting range with some friends after moving to the city. It was terrifying the way they handled them and we left quickly. Focus on people being smart with them, this tech will get more people killed than it will save.
The question is, what else were you doing that told your father that you were nowhere near trustworthy or competent enough to handle the very object that he taught you how to use safely? 🤔 I was taught how to handle, inspect, and use firearms at 8 years old, and had my own AR-15 at 9 years old that was accessible to me whenever it may have been needed! The whole idea of teaching your kids young is so they can begin to develop an autonomy and responsibility with the gun!
This and the internal lock hillary hole on Smith and Wesson revolvers are the most useless designs for firearms. I bet in California they'll require "authorities" the ability to disable your gun remotely.
Likely the silicon valley clowns are designing a Smart Bullet so people like Alec Baldwin will have rounds that wont work at all and collect unemployment checks simultaneously.
I can totally imagine Cali liberals salivating at the idea of being able to "shut off" a perp's firearm. It all sounds like a great idea on paper until you account for the point that the government can be (and often is) wrong.
The only smart thing I want my firearm to do is go bang when the trigger is pulled. We learned about guns as soon as we could talk I think. There were guns everywhere in my childhood. We respected them and didn't play with them and they were always assumed to be loaded.

Sadly schools don’t teach gun safety like they did back in the day. When I was in school (I’m 24) I barely heard anything about them. I’m very lucky I had my dad, older brother, uncles, etc to teach me all about the safe handling of weapons when I was super young. I wish schools still had rifle clubs and safety classes for kids like they used to. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have responsible parents.
Smart guns: a stupid idea. Gamers complain about lag in games, imagine what lag is going to do when your life is on the line because the smart gun wasn't smart at all... And there are a host of other issues that could be discussed. Quick note: the 2A was not written to "...give power to the people, not the government.", it was written to keep government from attempting to remove that particular right from the people. Natural rights are not granted by human institutions. Big difference there.
Can you imagine a Microsoft smart-gun? Needing updates daily then restarting it. Then asking for another update 5 minutes after you log in. Don't forget about the constant crashing.
The greater problem arises when they require a kill switch to be put in them(like Brandon's BBB build had for electric cars). Then they don't have to take you gun they just shut it off. Same reason they want only electric cars. Not following our mandates, no car for you!
@@mindyourbusiness4101 Friend, I agree. Add on to the "cell phone" authentication? Good luck on the MS updates, the cell phone break-ins to turn your firearm "Off/On" and I'm sure the govt will back All of this crap!
Here's the problem with smart guns even when every mechanism works perfectly your family members couldn't retrieve your firearm to protect themselves or others if you are incapacitated or killed during an attack. Thereby making them a liability when protecting oneself or others in chaotic situations. We need SMART PEOPLE NOT SMART GUNS! It starts with education training and repetition. I have 3 boys age ranges 10-21 have many more firearms than that, and never have any of them misused or mishandled them. Education, Training, and Good Parenting would prevent most of the problems that the anti-gun lobbies have caused by villifying the 2A and legal firearms owners with their campaign of disinformation for political gain.
And the hand held phasers they used didn’t seem to be loaded with smart tech either, despite how the franchise has survived all these years. Otherwise young Kirk, who was forced to use a Romulan disrupter to defend himself, wouldn’t have been around for a couple of less than impressive alternative timeline sequels.
Having been lost in the woods on multiple occasions, and having close friends do the same, I can tell you in nearly every one of those cases there was a failure of an electronic device. What I have learned from this is that when things start going wrong, that will be followed shortly by failure of complex systems. Well if I ever need to use a gun for self defense, things are going wrong, and the only thing I can rely on are simple things.
@@markf5735 One of the times I got lost, I reached in my pocket to grab my compass (right after the GPS failed), and it wasn't there. We used my backup compass and navigated to a location we were familiar with in under 5 minutes. The next day I found my compass; I had put it in the wrong pocket.
Ditto, my old WW 2 surplus compass is much more reliable and accurate than the alleged compass on my smartphone. I take an old school compass and map whenever I go to a forest.
@@steftrando Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who are alive today because they had to use a gun in self defense, both in and out of the woods. Also tell it to the law enforcement officers who had to investigate all of those cases.
Before a state mandates "smart" guns, I want: 1. State police to field them for one field generation 2. Criminals to be mandated to use smart guns in crimes. (lol)
Exactly! I have been saying for years I am all for national health care under one provision: I get the same healthcare as the president of the United States. Same here, Smart guns are awesome, as long as Law Enforcement has to use them too (oh, and criminals... lol).
I'd go a few steps further. I want: 1. 100% of all Domestic Government Agencies to use 100% Smart Guns for 10 years. That's any and all Federal/State/Local agencies, not just the Law Enforcement ones. SWAT and HRT(Hostage Rescue Teams)? Every single gun they use must be a Smart Gun. Not just their sidearms. If so much as a Forestry Service agent carries, it has to be a Smart Gun. 2. 100% of all Private Security personnel must use Smart Guns for 10 years. 3. Any persons covered in 1 & 2 above, caught carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired and banned from employment in that sector. Government employees of any level (Federal/State/Local) found carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired and permanently banned from all government employment. Private Security found carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired, banned from all security work, and banned from gaining any government employment.
@@tekkalord IF they own personally owned firearms, those two should be mandated to be smart guns too. After all, many carry a backup weapon that is their personal firearm; and they should be practicing what they preach - you know - leading by example ...

I continue saying this all the time but... When I was a kid, my dad kept guns unsecured laying around, as I grew up he'd even have them laying out on the kitchen table. I don't think any of his guns we're kept in safes. How he got away with this is because one of the first things he ever taught me in my life is to not fuck with guns. If you don't know exactly what you're doing do NOT touch it. There was only one incident; at my 15th birthday party we had a Raven arms .25acp laying on the table and my friend picked it up and pointed it at me. I immediately made a scene and told him "Put that down. That is a real loaded gun." He of course got defensive with "I didn't know, It wasn't pointed *directly* at you, I didn't think it was real" This shows the immense duality between people's knowledge on gun safety and how a little knowledge can go a long way.
The worse part about this is that the men showing off these firearms are more than likely very responsible gun owners, as all gun owners should be. I believe this mask the problem rather than solves the problem. The problem being that gun safety courses should be easily available if not a required course in public schools.

I have four kids, who are now 20, 19, 17, and 12. When they were each old enough to carry on a conversation, you could ask them, "What's the most important rule in our house?" and they would answer, "Never touch Daddy's guns without permission." We watched Eddie Eagle, over and over, until I was sick of it. Then we watched it some more. We went over gun safety rules. When they were big enough to hold a gun, I double and triple checked that they were unloaded and let the kids hold them. Any time they asked to see one of my guns, which wasn't often, I stopped whatever I was doing and showed them the gun. I taught them how to shoot. They got Daisy Red Ryder's when they were big enough. Then 22s. A couple of them have deer rifles, now. A few years ago my son took his first deer with a single, perfect shot to the heart from 250 yards, with a .243 H&R Handi-Rifle. I made sure my kids had no reason to be curious about guns, and they knew what to do if they found one laying around somewhere. I'm a line of duty disabled paramedic. I've literally watched kids die from gunshot wounds because their parents didn't teach them gun safety. I made sure my kids had the knowledge to prevent them from making the same stupid mistakes.

We already have laws in some states that will charge the parents if they recklessly leave loaded firearms around 2 year olds. All the states with low accidental gun deaths have such measures, no need to force something like this.
I remember playing pre-1961 when I was six years old at an older (7 yo) boy’s house, Joe. I recall what seems as a revolver on top of every bedroom dresser drawer in the home. First time there, Joe explained that I could never touch those guns. His mama later reinforced with the house rule, if I disobeyed, I’d be sent home. All good. Never any mischief. I took it as a clear grown-up instruction set that I took as a condition of playing with my friend. My favorite TV show was Mighty Mouse. I liked to play outside and build forts from old boxes and subdivision house construction lumber drops that we scavenged. I liked football and whiffle ball. All barefoot. I have a great scar on my face when Joe smashed my eye on the back swing of a hatchet. My 3 baby sister played in the front yard in her underpants. Simple good times.
Bio metrics are totally unreliable. What do you do when the battery in the gun died? It also wouldn't surprise me if your finger prints would be logged into a database as the owner of each firearm as a dealer programs it to the buyer.
"Smart" guns just make me think of my phone and how sometimes the fingerprint reader doesn't want to work and unlock the phone. God forbid I'm in a situation where if that technology failed I'm killed.
To add, "smart guns" are a bit like microstamping: they both pose a de facto barrier due to price. Also both are fantasy technology. "If you can teach a kid not to touch a stove..." is exactly how I feel as well. Even if you could make guns disappear, it doesn't cure someone from being depressed to suicide. Maybe the impulse at the time could fade, but the most important thing is that person has human support.

There are loads of clips from that test where is fails over and over in something as simple as fire the first round, and several more times failing to fire a second round even if it manages to fire the first round.

Was hunting and shooting since I was 6 by myself. Taught both my children to shoot when they were 5 or 6. The shotgun behind my bedroom door was theirs to use by the time they were 10. And I hope my grandchildren get taught the same by either my children or myself.
If they do this then who’s to say that the government won’t be able to track every single time anybody pulls the trigger on their firearm. That’s some shit I don’t want
Imagine pulling your gun out to defend yourself but it asks for a software update and to connect to a wifi network. Or even worse, imagine someone hacking your gun to blow your leg out before you can even pull it
How about a dead battery? Nope. I'd never own one. I opened my safe and grabbed some AR's to go to the range. Guess what, two of them had dead batteries. I'd never trust my life to a smart gun. At least my firearms has backup sights. What do you have with a dead battery smart gun?
Growing up, we were taught the value of human, and animal life as well. We were taught how, when, and where to use guns. We shot often. We had loaded guns in our house as well as unloaded guns. Even the criminal element in our family NEVER touched them without proper supervision. Every family has one. No one had accidents. No one touched them. I would sometimes sit staring (and drooling over them) but new better than to touch them. Never in anger. Never show them to anyone. Never do anything stupid so we could use them when it was time. The thing is, no electronic device could have ever taught us that. Putting a band-aid on something that isn't bleeding does nothing but waste band-aids. Nothing feels better, and then you want bigger band-aids. Same thing with smart guns. People will either still find a way to use them, or use something else, thereby sidestepping the purpose of the whole idiotic exercise. Knowledge is everything. Experience is paramount. Any time you give government access to your personal safety, you lose it forever. Feeling good doesn't equal being safe, it's just a placebo. In enclosed spaces, I'm probably much better with a knife, or a pencil for that matter, but I'm Never without my gun as well. Stay armed, stay safe stay alive.

I have a 15 yr old son who i know when i go to work he knows not to mess with the guns unless he absolutely has to. Hes has been trained to use and take apart and clean every gun in the house. And he knows when and how to use them.
Colion, You missed some major points. Watch the rangemaster firing the gun closely!!! It double-tapped (went full auto) at the end and had some kind of misfeed. You can see a round fall out when he removes the magazine and a casing comes out when he racks the slide! This gun is absolutely dangerous!
Ahh "smart" guns.. I love it when the most deeply evil things in the world are hidden behind words like "smart, safe, justice, equality, common sense, fairness, greater good" and etc. Cars are full of electronics, they can be hacked/tracked. Hidden in the infrastructure bill that was just passed, it will be mandatory for all new cars after 2026 to have a kill switch that police/government can operate. In a few years, for guns this will be mandatory because "muh safety and muh common sense". What a commie wet dream. Disable all guns with a switch/EMP. For the love of all that is holy - DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy into this nonsense. The more this technology spreads the sooner they'll shove this down everybody's throat.
I'm about a minute in watching the news clip. Like I get what they're going for here but man if you need your weapon in an absolute hurry that would be a recipe for disaster. I'd rather carry a freaking knife than a weapon with such easy to screw up safeties. There's a reason a number of my carry guns have ZERO active safeties.
My guns that have active safety switches are all set to fire. the only safety I use is the one between my ears. The only exception is my daily carry gun has a magazine disconnect safety. I chose that gun because of the magazine disconnect.
@@LicheLordofUndead I guess I’m just so used to DA/SA guns that I don’t like striker fired triggers. If a Glock would have been my first firearm then I would probably prefer that.
Government: Smart guns are the future and the best way to keep our citizens and our democracy safe…. Lock picking lawyer: (*Click*) Let me do that again to show that wasn’t a fluke.
I get a warning before this video that says “this video may contain suicide or self-harm topics.” Yet I just watched the video from Count Dankula about the Bjork Stalker where there actually was a suicide and got no such warning.
So i recently started a new job and within 1 week at that new job my phone entirely stopped recognizing my fingerprints. Every single print doesn't unlock the phone right now, I'm not going to put my life in the hands of that technology. That shit is insane.
Interesting that I got a "May contain mention of self-harm and suicide' warning before I could watch the video. I know something about electronic and mechanical engineering. Sorry, but putting delicate electronics in a device DESIGNED to hammer it unpredictably is a recipe for failure. And since it MUST be designed to "fail safe" i. e. not fire unless it's told to, it's gonna fail to fire when you need it most. That on top of necessarily limited battery life, hackability, the inevitable Government backdoor... No. Just no. By the way- I just watched neocon Republican Senator Roger Wicker from Mississippi state that President Brandon will make clear to Putin that "nothing is off the table" in discussions about Ukraine including FIRST NUCLEAR USE. My wife interrupted during this video to ask "Are they really saying that threatening nuclear war is a good negotiating tactic, while telling us we have to disarm for our own safety"? I had to tell her "Yes, that's how they think".
Bluetooth tech is one of the most unsecured wireless communications available. It was obsolete 15 years ago. Fingerprint scanners rarely work under wet and/or dirty conditions. Now try and remember the button sequence in high pressure situations when each millisecond counts.
Not just no, but HELL NO! When your life depends on a gun, it has to work, and its hard enough to remember to disengage a safety... I can't even imagine the potential problems of a "smart" gun.
They’ve tried this before, any savvy firearms person will tell you a gun, no matter the make and model, is a machine, and by definition machines can fail in any way conceivable. So the more complicated the machine, the more likely it will fail, so if you add extra mechanics it will fail. Period. Furthermore, the situations you need your weapon is likely life or death by nature of the need for a firearm, and when that machine fails, you’ll lose your life. Edit: Ive had a few drinks but i tried to make that as coherent as possible lol.
I disagree, we have much safer cars because of hard won safety features, guns are no different, the worst part about carrying a gun is that some criminal will that it and kill you/Family/victims but if the gun has these safety features I'd probably want to carry a gun, as it is a gun is a disaster waiting to happen.
As a car enthusiast I can relate so much. Forcing more and more electronics into cars like mandated GPS locator, automatic speeding recognition, automatic breaking, lane-keeping, or finally self-driving is just a horrible thing. Folks who like that can get it for all I care, but the government and the EU trying to force it gets the hair standing on the back of my neck. I purposefully drive 30+ year old cars because I am able to handle it on my own thank you. Just because SOME people are unable to handle the power in their hands doesn't mean we all need to be babysitted and watched. And don't get me started on repairability...I can take a wrench to any of my old cars, but any newer model needs a proprietary computer connection not available to the public to do anything...just as the companies want it.
I took my 22 yr old niece and her boyfriend for a ride in my '69 Z28. He "just can't". That's what he said..."I just can't". I don't even know what that means. It's not even a complete sentence. But I'm sure he needs the traction control in his Prius. He sure can't figure out how to use roll down windows. BTW My Niece can drive a stick and loves the howl of an American V8 turning 7000 rpm.
@@nucleargrizzly1776 I mean I think it's possible that response could be positive. I'll admit my buddy driving line 120 or so in his corvette with me in the passenger seat is a little much for me tho. That floaty feeling bugs me. Probably just lack of experience though. I prefer acceleration over speed myself. Also, 69 camaros are awesome
IIRC, New Jersey has had a law on the books about 20 years that would mandate the purchase of smart guns whenever the technology is on the market. It is not only that, but be sure the government will want to have the means to turn off your gun. I can easily see Google or other Big Tech giving the government access to your gun aps or even their location.
If this happens to go through, follow the money trails for the manufacturers of the tech. Almost certain they would pass bills requiring current 07s to adapt the new manufacturing to install this tech at their own cost, or hit the road!
yeah....hard pass! the #1 thing I look for in a firearm is how quickly I can grab it and fire it. I don't want some electronic lock that can be hacked, get wet and not read my print or go dead because I forgot to charge it. I will NEVER accept that. I will also NEVER comply with being forced to use anything like this period!
Colion, agree with about 65% of your stuff but this I agree. Does this mean that now we can leave the smart gun laying around? Does the "treat all guns as if their loaded" concept go away? This way their saved by a battery operated object that may leak or over heat or go dead. Not looking to lay my life on the line with a computer.
Usually the more complicated any machine is, the less reliable it is.
Not usually. This is a rule.
I love German cars, but they are needlessly complex. So I don’t buy one. I am even capable to work on them. Still nope.
100% agree. Experiencing this with modern Class8 trucks. Consistent breakdowns!
I have a fingerprint enabled electronic door lock. I am very happy with it and usually works great EXCEPT for the times I'm in a hurry and really need access. The stupid thing stops working and i'm standing there like an idiot trying to unlock it. I noticed minimal humidity, water content, skin state of fingertip, dirt and oil seems to disable the highly accurate sensor. Only way to make it work is to wipe sensor and finger clean and hope it works.
@@liberatorkramit As a Bosch Technician I confirm this as true.

@Mija La esa 3 Spammer!! Reported to RUclips!!
My father taught me all about gun safety with his service revolver when I was a little kid before I hit double digits. Got the whole nine yard lecture and another lecture about how to respect them and why it’s our right to have them. Never handled it without his permission or him bringing me to the range.
Seriously. If you can teach a child about gun safety and they get the message. Adults have no excuse.
There are exceptions, I have three little brothers and I would trust only the oldest and the youngest with a gun, but I agree with you
Honestly I see the smart gun or small gun safe as a secondary protection layer for redundancy. I’m not a trained user, so I want that redundancy.
Having said that, you’re right about the importance of education.
This video was marked as having "self-harm" in it, and I had to say "I understand and wish to proceed'. But it kept closing the video within about half a second of the page opening. Good grief, how aggravating! And there's just a small amount of discussion for "self-harm".
Oh, and don't buy smart guns. Seriously. These security measures never work correctly. I'm a tech professional and I have to deal with software with this type of design constantly. Apart from basic password auth, security software always has false negatives when handling authentication. 100% guarantee that these will cost lives because a smart gun doesn't correctly identify the gun owner. There's never a point when it starts working correctly.
This is technology that only exists to make the gun *not* fire. When you're in a life or death situation, do you really want to trust a gun that has it?
It is also so that the government has remote access to your weapons, much like our devices and our electricity, so that they can achieve their goal of disarming the people and attaining total control.
The problem with smart guns is no one has the right to tell me what I use to protect myself.

Creating you the victim.
No matter how “smart” guns become, they will never outweigh the destructive force of a dumb or evil person pulling the trigger.
It’s far smarter to educate about firearm safety and make sure a sufficient part of the population has the tools to defend themselves. This is such old wisdom, but it never catches on.
Because none of these laws they try to pass are really about safety. Nobody is bigger on gun safety than actual gun owners. But they don't want to talk about that. If it was about gun safety, they would mandate firearm safety courses in high schools throughout the country.
Forgotten weapons recently did a video about a smart gun that seems to be pretty well designed for a very specific purpose. It has a fingerprint reader and a facial recognition scanner, either of which can activate the gun. It has a number of other features designed to prevent potential problems; it can detect if you let go of it so that it locks up again so if someone takes it from you it won’t fire, the trigger mechanism is electronic so you can’t easily make it a regular gun, and it doesn’t connect to the internet and it stored all the information inside the gun. I’m sure it’s still not perfect and will probably be stupidly expensive, but it’s purpose as a bedside gun that prevents children or others from firing it without making it slower for the owner to access it. It’s basically a system with most of the advantages of a safe without the drawbacks of a safe

@@isaacfulton7731 Doubling on that, electronic firing mechanisms are federally illegal IIRC.
I was raised in a house with many guns never secured and always loaded. But my dad taught me about safety and the dangers of them. Obviously no accidents happened.
Same. My dad had a gun on the nightstand by my parents bed and NEVER ONCE did I ever touch it. My dad was a gunsmith for 25 years so I grew up in a gun store, I knew what they were, and I knew what they were capable of. It's that simple and I'm teaching my kids all the same things.
This is more about shutting liberals up than safety. I’ll jailbreak mine the first day.
I knew where he kept the key, still the 3 of us are still around. My kids go to the range and start pointing out people who don't have finger or muzzle discipline, so proud of them. If someone wants to buy a Glock/Android gun, more power to them. But no way in hell making them mandatory.
Yea same here.
Your kids will eventually see a gun. You want to teach them or do you want Arec Baldwin and movies like Wanted to teach them?
My sons saw the black rifle cases underneath my bed and asked what is it. At that point it was nothing but safety, safety, safety. Well before they were taken to the gun range. My sons are responsible enough not to touch, play or even open the gun safe that I have now without strict supervision from myself. But again, that was all in the months of safety that I gave them…

Where does it end? Kids getting ahold of their parents guns and doing harm to themselves or others is a the fault of the gun OWNER. NOT THE GUN! Do we blame our vehicles when our kids sneak the keys, go for a joyride, and crash the vehicle, potentially harming others or themselves? No! That again falls to the parent.

I won't even consider a "smart gun" until the Secret Service has replaced all of their current weapons with them.
And ATF and FBI
This has to be a T shirt. “If you can teach your kid not to touch a stove you can teach them not to touch a gun”. Most common since thing I’ve heard in a while
First "Know your Children". As a single parent the moment my daughter was at the point of being able to walk and started waking prior to myself at times and able to reach up on a breakfast bar counter top and grab (out of love) and destroy a pack of cigarettes, a alarm in my head went off. I think at the time she was in or just shy of being in kindergarten , I had a talk with her. I showed her my one firearm (fully secured/unloaded) and explained if she ever see's anything like this Do not Touch go get a adult. I then let her hold it so she can know that real guns can sometimes look and weigh like a toy and explained again why it is bad/dangerous to touch. When she got a bit older and could safely hold my 22 rifle I took her to the range. A lot of responsible gun owners do this, it is and should be the nature thing to do. Just as you tell them never touch the stove or look both ways before crossing the street and explain why. Gun safety is no different.
So, I would say to any Anti-gunner out there, just because you have a fear or dislike towards firearms and may have none in your home, other possible dangerous items still exists in the world. Parent/raise your child to be smart and think before acting this is part of what a parent does. I don't trust certain items with a battery that is suppose to save my life. That's just foolish and flirting with disaster, part of being prepared is having options not taking away options and or reliability. There is a time and place for everything including smart tech. And on my hip is not one. Good luck with a battery operated gun I'll stick to my old school mechanically human operated sidearms. No thank you please....

Safe gun storage worked like this when I was growing up. My FATHER instructed me in firearms. He also informed me that NO GUN WAS TO BE TOUCHED WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION, because consequences would follow. I've NEVER played with an unattended accessible gun. Good parenting had a lot to do with gun safety in our home.
From the northern Arkansas Ozarks, never would've known as a kid that people didn't grow up with rifles setting in the corners. I realized it the first time I went to the shooting range with some friends after moving to the city. It was terrifying the way they handled them and we left quickly. Focus on people being smart with them, this tech will get more people killed than it will save.
The question is, what else were you doing that told your father that you were nowhere near trustworthy or competent enough to handle the very object that he taught you how to use safely? 🤔
I was taught how to handle, inspect, and use firearms at 8 years old, and had my own AR-15 at 9 years old that was accessible to me whenever it may have been needed!
The whole idea of teaching your kids young is so they can begin to develop an autonomy and responsibility with the gun!
For reals.

Love this type of content. In years to come we can always refer people to this video so we can tell them "We told you so"
This and the internal lock hillary hole on Smith and Wesson revolvers are the most useless designs for firearms. I bet in California they'll require "authorities" the ability to disable your gun remotely.
Likely the silicon valley clowns are designing a Smart Bullet so people like Alec Baldwin will have rounds that wont work at all and collect unemployment checks simultaneously.
I can totally imagine Cali liberals salivating at the idea of being able to "shut off" a perp's firearm. It all sounds like a great idea on paper until you account for the point that the government can be (and often is) wrong.
Better get vaccinated. If your social credit score is low, Big Brother will lock your firearm ms until you comply.
The only smart thing I want my firearm to do is go bang when the trigger is pulled. We learned about guns as soon as we could talk I think. There were guns everywhere in my childhood. We respected them and didn't play with them and they were always assumed to be loaded.

Sadly schools don’t teach gun safety like they did back in the day. When I was in school (I’m 24) I barely heard anything about them. I’m very lucky I had my dad, older brother, uncles, etc to teach me all about the safe handling of weapons when I was super young.
I wish schools still had rifle clubs and safety classes for kids like they used to. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have responsible parents.

Smart guns: a stupid idea. Gamers complain about lag in games, imagine what lag is going to do when your life is on the line because the smart gun wasn't smart at all... And there are a host of other issues that could be discussed.
Quick note: the 2A was not written to "...give power to the people, not the government.", it was written to keep government from attempting to remove that particular right from the people. Natural rights are not granted by human institutions. Big difference there.
Can you imagine a Microsoft smart-gun? Needing updates daily then restarting it. Then asking for another update 5 minutes after you log in. Don't forget about the constant crashing.
The greater problem arises when they require a kill switch to be put in them(like Brandon's BBB build had for electric cars).

@@markf5735 One of the times I got lost, I reached in my pocket to grab my compass (right after the GPS failed), and it wasn't there. We used my backup compass and navigated to a location we were familiar with in under 5 minutes. The next day I found my compass; I had put it in the wrong pocket.
Ditto, my old WW 2 surplus compass is much more reliable and accurate than the alleged compass on my smartphone. I take an old school compass and map whenever I go to a forest.
You will never need to use a gun for self defense. That’s just a fantasy.
@@steftrando Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who are alive today because they had to use a gun in self defense, both in and out of the woods. Also tell it to the law enforcement officers who had to investigate all of those cases.
Before a state mandates "smart" guns, I want:
1. State police to field them for one field generation
2. Criminals to be mandated to use smart guns in crimes. (lol)
Exactly! I have been saying for years I am all for national health care under one provision: I get the same healthcare as the president of the United States. Same here, Smart guns are awesome, as long as Law Enforcement has to use them too (oh, and criminals... lol).
I'd go a few steps further. I want:
1. 100% of all Domestic Government Agencies to use 100% Smart Guns for 10 years. That's any and all Federal/State/Local agencies, not just the Law Enforcement ones. SWAT and HRT(Hostage Rescue Teams)? Every single gun they use must be a Smart Gun. Not just their sidearms. If so much as a Forestry Service agent carries, it has to be a Smart Gun.
2. 100% of all Private Security personnel must use Smart Guns for 10 years.
3. Any persons covered in 1 & 2 above, caught carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired and banned from employment in that sector. Government employees of any level (Federal/State/Local) found carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired and permanently banned from all government employment. Private Security found carrying or using a non-smart gun on the job will be immediately fired, banned from all security work, and banned from gaining any government employment.
@@tekkalord IF they own personally owned firearms, those two should be mandated to be smart guns too. After all, many carry a backup weapon that is their personal firearm; and they should be practicing what they preach - you know - leading by example ...
The criminals will be using all the illegal gun coming through our borders, that's going on right now as we speak. Not only it illegal weapons but also to criminals across the border that know-how and we'll use them. And guess who they going to use them on you got that right us. Stupid is as stupid does.
@@tekkalord so... for #3... why wouldn't the penalty be the same as it would be for people like you and me? JAIL!
I Learned Gun Safety At A Very Young Age From My Dad, My Uncle, And Other People.
My Dad Kept A Gun And Some Ammo In A Filing Cabinet (Filing Cabinets Can Be Easily Broken Into) And He Slept With One Of His Guns (According To My Sister).
We Never Had A Shooting When I Was Growing Up.
I Taught My Niece Gun Safety And How To Clear A Gun And I Keep My Guns Ready To Use; We Have Not Had A Negligent Or "Accidental" Shooting So Far.
Absolutely no way. I've worked in the IT field for over two decades and as time goes find myself less low tech all the time. I have zero home automation equipment, no smart tv, no smart watch, will never by an electric car, most of my phone features are disabled, or play with any other fad. Why in the hell would I put any trust in a smart gun knowing how likely it is to fail, have security issues, or have the ability to be controlled outside my wishes? No thanks.
How is it likely to fail?
@@remix4098 You have to worry about the power source failing rendering it unsable. Anything from the elements rain, dirt, grime, extreme temps, etc making it fail. Your own self being too sweaty, dirty, bloody, wearing gloves. Biometrics have never been deployed quite to this level and the one time it fails to work could be your death or someone's life you are trying to protect. I'll pass.
@@Heff82 doesn't the same thing apply to all modern cars?
@@remix4098 There was a hospital worker who was driving their Tesla on a snowing mountain, the battery failed and he was trapped in snow with no service for a good deal of time, so he had to hitchhike and call someone to tow out the Tesla. He's never going to buy one again and plans to sell it as soon as he can.
@@user-hq3fh4pn2v ok why?
Major plot point of "Metal Gear: Guns of the Patriots", was the government deciding who could fight by turning off your gun access. In the Batman Arkham games, you remotely "jam" the bad guys guns before you start fighting.
MGS4 is an entire game on why smart guns is a terrible idea lmao
What about the game home front. That was part of the back story aswell the military bought smart guns and the Chinese promised no back doors but that was a lie
@@SuperXrayDoc This is all I could think about when watching the video. I just thought, "I'm pretty sure we have a game that highlights why this tech is a bad idea."
Have never had one Blutooth device that didn't have some sort of connection/reception problem in it's lifetime of usage. Blutooth is NOT a selling "feature" to me, and definitely not something that I want on any gun I own.
Gun manufacturers have a tough time making a gun reliable now they are asked to make an electronics reliable.
Tell me about it... bluetooth mouse, the receiver has to be within 3 inches to be reliable lol, at least my earpiece goes a bit further, unless there is signal jamming like at the casino...
In related news, passwords protect you from identity theft.
I continue saying this all the time but...
When I was a kid, my dad kept guns unsecured laying around, as I grew up he'd even have them laying out on the kitchen table. I don't think any of his guns we're kept in safes.
How he got away with this is because one of the first things he ever taught me in my life is to not fuck with guns. If you don't know exactly what you're doing do NOT touch it.
There was only one incident; at my 15th birthday party we had a Raven arms .25acp laying on the table and my friend picked it up and pointed it at me. I immediately made a scene and told him "Put that down. That is a real loaded gun."
He of course got defensive with "I didn't know, It wasn't pointed *directly* at you, I didn't think it was real"
This shows the immense duality between people's knowledge on gun safety and how a little knowledge can go a long way.
The worse part about this is that the men showing off these firearms are more than likely very responsible gun owners, as all gun owners should be. I believe this mask the problem rather than solves the problem. The problem being that gun safety courses should be easily available if not a required course in public schools.
I agree!
I was in middle school in the early 1980's. Everyone was required to have gun safety training in PE both years of middle school!! Why would anyone or any school systems stop gun safety training?
@@bryanduchane2371 parents afraid of firearms simply because they've never been around any. I took hunters safety in school and I'm a millennial. However, I do live in the south.

Yup. Watch the body language of the 'range master '. He looks incompetent and afraid of the weapon.

As a software engineering guy, nothing is airtight. So they are making a gun hackable. Sounds like an idea with the best of intentions, what could possibly go wrong?

Thank you for producing this kind of video. Very informative.
I have four kids, who are now 20, 19, 17, and 12. When they were each old enough to carry on a conversation, you could ask them, "What's the most important rule in our house?" and they would answer, "Never touch Daddy's guns without permission." We watched Eddie Eagle, over and over, until I was sick of it. Then we watched it some more. We went over gun safety rules. When they were big enough to hold a gun, I double and triple checked that they were unloaded and let the kids hold them. Any time they asked to see one of my guns, which wasn't often, I stopped whatever I was doing and showed them the gun. I taught them how to shoot. They got Daisy Red Ryder's when they were big enough. Then 22s. A couple of them have deer rifles, now. A few years ago my son took his first deer with a single, perfect shot to the heart from 250 yards, with a .243 H&R Handi-Rifle.
I made sure my kids had no reason to be curious about guns, and they knew what to do if they found one laying around somewhere. I'm a line of duty disabled paramedic. I've literally watched kids die from gunshot wounds because their parents didn't teach them gun safety. I made sure my kids had the knowledge to prevent them from making the same stupid mistakes.
Yea I’m not getting a smart anything on my firearm. It is just another thing to break. Also, I’m a state trooper
You don't want to rely on technology when milliseconds stand between your life and death?
Exactly.... I have my Grandfather's S&W snub nose 38 that was his backup when he was an officer... Might not be pretty and fancy but dammit she'll run lol
pls stop pulling people over and wait until you're services are requested. The rest of us don't need you gov enforcers. Thanks
As an IT professional, using Bluetooth to unlock/lock your gun... seriously flawed move.
We already have laws in some states that will charge the parents if they recklessly leave loaded firearms around 2 year olds. All the states with low accidental gun deaths have such measures, no need to force something like this.
I remember playing pre-1961 when I was six years old at an older (7 yo) boy’s house, Joe. I recall what seems as a revolver on top of every bedroom dresser drawer in the home. First time there, Joe explained that I could never touch those guns. His mama later reinforced with the house rule, if I disobeyed, I’d be sent home. All good. Never any mischief. I took it as a clear grown-up instruction set that I took as a condition of playing with my friend. My favorite TV show was Mighty Mouse. I liked to play outside and build forts from old boxes and subdivision house construction lumber drops that we scavenged. I liked football and whiffle ball. All barefoot.
I have a great scar on my face when Joe smashed my eye on the back swing of a hatchet. My 3 baby sister played in the front yard in her underpants.
Simple good times.
Bio metrics are totally unreliable. What do you do when the battery in the gun died? It also wouldn't surprise me if your finger prints would be logged into a database as the owner of each firearm as a dealer programs it to the buyer.
"Smart" guns just make me think of my phone and how sometimes the fingerprint reader doesn't want to work and unlock the phone. God forbid I'm in a situation where if that technology failed I'm killed.
God forbid your gun doesn’t jam but that doesn’t happen oh wait it does
To add, "smart guns" are a bit like microstamping: they both pose a de facto barrier due to price. Also both are fantasy technology.
"If you can teach a kid not to touch a stove..." is exactly how I feel as well.
Even if you could make guns disappear, it doesn't cure someone from being depressed to suicide. Maybe the impulse at the time could fade, but the most important thing is that person has human support.
So can you use it during an iOS update at 3am? That’s usually when my phone updates automatically. Plus I thought Face ID is the new wave? Sorry for the dumb questions. I’m still new to these
The irony is in CA these smart guns won’t be allowed for sale because they don’t use “micro stamping” and therefore are an “unsafe” handgun off the CA roster of approved handguns. Lol
*Insert DJ Khaled meme HERE*
CA approved handgun list is a bunch of janky liberal hogwash
still can buy off roster lol
@@ShadowFox0324 You played yourself 😠
There are loads of clips from that test where is fails over and over in something as simple as fire the first round, and several more times failing to fire a second round even if it manages to fire the first round. This thing is nowhere near ready for even the most casual shooter's market, let alone for any sort of serious application.
It's an inherently flawed idea so no amount of technology advancements will compensate for that.
Was hunting and shooting since I was 6 by myself. Taught both my children to shoot when they were 5 or 6. The shotgun behind my bedroom door was theirs to use by the time they were 10. And I hope my grandchildren get taught the same by either my children or myself.
Nothing beats teaching your kids responsibility And simple gun safety.
If they do this then who’s to say that the government won’t be able to track every single time anybody pulls the trigger on their firearm. That’s some shit I don’t want
Imagine pulling your gun out to defend yourself but it asks for a software update and to connect to a wifi network. Or even worse, imagine someone hacking your gun to blow your leg out before you can even pull it
How about a dead battery? Nope. I'd never own one. I opened my safe and grabbed some AR's to go to the range. Guess what, two of them had dead batteries. I'd never trust my life to a smart gun. At least my firearms has backup sights. What do you have with a dead battery smart gun?
This technology will get people killed.
@@62dobie A shitty club. At that point you're better off with a hipoint.
You will never pull your gun out to defend yourself. That’s just a fantasy.
@@steftrando tell that to the victims of gun control in 1945 and 1989
Also screws me more because I’m left handed, wanna bet that the “left handed” version would cost substantially more like left handed bows
Growing up, we were taught the value of human, and animal life as well. We were taught how, when, and where to use guns. We shot often. We had loaded guns in our house as well as unloaded guns. Even the criminal element in our family NEVER touched them without proper supervision. Every family has one. No one had accidents. No one touched them. I would sometimes sit staring (and drooling over them) but new better than to touch them. Never in anger. Never show them to anyone. Never do anything stupid so we could use them when it was time. The thing is, no electronic device could have ever taught us that. Putting a band-aid on something that isn't bleeding does nothing but waste band-aids. Nothing feels better, and then you want bigger band-aids. Same thing with smart guns. People will either still find a way to use them, or use something else, thereby sidestepping the purpose of the whole idiotic exercise. Knowledge is everything. Experience is paramount. Any time you give government access to your personal safety, you lose it forever. Feeling good doesn't equal being safe, it's just a placebo. In enclosed spaces, I'm probably much better with a knife, or a pencil for that matter, but I'm Never without my gun as well. Stay armed, stay safe stay alive.
Too many variables. If my phone won't recognize my fingerprint, what makes me thing a gun will.
Also will it work in snow, or rain?
If you want people to store them more safely then make safes more affordable. One idea is to provide a tax incentive for buying a safe.
How about we stop texting our rights period. I'm not putting my safety in the hands of digital technology
Taxation is theft.
Bad idea. I bought a safe because my kids lives are paramount. If people don't buy a safe without a tax cut, they won't buy one with a tax cut.
Buy a damn safe people, doesn't need to be fancy.
@@donrogers3058 idk my dad always had his guns unlocked he just made sure we understood how dangerous they where
@@donrogers3058 I bought my 3 daughters guns when they turned 3 ... 22 cricket pink . And started training them gun safety and also showed them pictures of what happens when a mistake and explained its a mistake you can't take back and can't happen.. I do own a safe but all of my guns will never be in it I keep out about 4 guns , AR rifle my siga12 my glock and my wife glock . They would never touch them they understand now. They have killed animals and understand what a bullet does. I think gun education is a lot more effective then a safe.
I have a 15 yr old son who i know when i go to work he knows not to mess with the guns unless he absolutely has to. Hes has been trained to use and take apart and clean every gun in the house. And he knows when and how to use them.
Colion, You missed some major points. Watch the rangemaster firing the gun closely!!! It double-tapped (went full auto) at the end and had some kind of misfeed. You can see a round fall out when he removes the magazine and a casing comes out when he racks the slide! This gun is absolutely dangerous!
I love technology and work with computers for a living. I'm studying to become a software engineer. But I'll never buy this.
Government: Time to disable your smart guns
Ahh "smart" guns.. I love it when the most deeply evil things in the world are hidden behind words like "smart, safe, justice, equality, common sense, fairness, greater good" and etc.
Cars are full of electronics, they can be hacked/tracked. Hidden in the infrastructure bill that was just passed, it will be mandatory for all new cars after 2026 to have a kill switch that police/government can operate.
In a few years, for guns this will be mandatory because "muh safety and muh common sense". What a commie wet dream. Disable all guns with a switch/EMP.
For the love of all that is holy - DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy into this nonsense. The more this technology spreads the sooner they'll shove this down everybody's throat.
Hold on Mr criminal sir my gun is having a hard time reading my finger print
Not today robber haha…wait let me unlock my gun first
I'm about a minute in watching the news clip. Like I get what they're going for here but man if you need your weapon in an absolute hurry that would be a recipe for disaster. I'd rather carry a freaking knife than a weapon with such easy to screw up safeties. There's a reason a number of my carry guns have ZERO active safeties.
Same here. My finger is my safety. Funny, no accidents in my household
@@anjhindulthe next safest thing to an actual safety is a decocker. It’s hard to have an nd when your first pull of the trigger is almost 10 pounds.
My guns that have active safety switches are all set to fire. the only safety I use is the one between my ears. The only exception is my daily carry gun has a magazine disconnect safety. I chose that gun because of the magazine disconnect.
@@LicheLordofUndead I guess I’m just so used to DA/SA guns that I don’t like striker fired triggers. If a Glock would have been my first firearm then I would probably prefer that.
Ive had shot my mother's handgun before and a thumb safety is the only manual safety I trust due to how fast it can be disengaged in a pinch.
Government: Smart guns are the future and the best way to keep our citizens and our democracy safe….
Lock picking lawyer: (*Click*) Let me do that again to show that wasn’t a fluke.
I get a warning before this video that says “this video may contain suicide or self-harm topics.”
Yet I just watched the video from Count Dankula about the Bjork Stalker where there actually was a suicide and got no such warning.
So i recently started a new job and within 1 week at that new job my phone entirely stopped recognizing my fingerprints. Every single print doesn't unlock the phone right now, I'm not going to put my life in the hands of that technology. That shit is insane.
Interesting that I got a "May contain mention of self-harm and suicide' warning before I could watch the video.
I know something about electronic and mechanical engineering. Sorry, but putting delicate electronics in a device DESIGNED to hammer it unpredictably is a recipe for failure. And since it MUST be designed to "fail safe" i. e. not fire unless it's told to, it's gonna fail to fire when you need it most.
That on top of necessarily limited battery life, hackability, the inevitable Government backdoor...
No. Just no.
By the way- I just watched neocon Republican Senator Roger Wicker from Mississippi state that President Brandon will make clear to Putin that "nothing is off the table" in discussions about Ukraine including FIRST NUCLEAR USE. My wife interrupted during this video to ask "Are they really saying that threatening nuclear war is a good negotiating tactic, while telling us we have to disarm for our own safety"? I had to tell her "Yes, that's how they think".
Well Brandon already threatened the American people with nuclear weapons so ... it follows.

Bluetooth tech is one of the most unsecured wireless communications available. It was obsolete 15 years ago. Fingerprint scanners rarely work under wet and/or dirty conditions. Now try and remember the button sequence in high pressure situations when each millisecond counts.
Not just no, but HELL NO! When your life depends on a gun, it has to work, and its hard enough to remember to disengage a safety... I can't even imagine the potential problems of a "smart" gun.
From the title I instantly thought of the smart pistol from Titanfall
They’ve tried this before, any savvy firearms person will tell you a gun, no matter the make and model, is a machine, and by definition machines can fail in any way conceivable. So the more complicated the machine, the more likely it will fail, so if you add extra mechanics it will fail. Period. Furthermore, the situations you need your weapon is likely life or death by nature of the need for a firearm, and when that machine fails, you’ll lose your life.
Edit: Ive had a few drinks but i tried to make that as coherent as possible lol.

I disagree, we have much safer cars because of hard won safety features, guns are no different, the worst part about carrying a gun is that some criminal will that it and kill you/Family/victims but if the gun has these safety features I'd probably want to carry a gun, as it is a gun is a disaster waiting to happen.
As a car enthusiast I can relate so much. Forcing more and more electronics into cars like mandated GPS locator, automatic speeding recognition, automatic breaking, lane-keeping, or finally self-driving is just a horrible thing. Folks who like that can get it for all I care, but the government and the EU trying to force it gets the hair standing on the back of my neck. I purposefully drive 30+ year old cars because I am able to handle it on my own thank you. Just because SOME people are unable to handle the power in their hands doesn't mean we all need to be babysitted and watched. And don't get me started on repairability...I can take a wrench to any of my old cars, but any newer model needs a proprietary computer connection not available to the public to do anything...just as the companies want it.
I took my 22 yr old niece and her boyfriend for a ride in my '69 Z28. He "just can't". That's what he said..."I just can't".
I don't even know what that means. It's not even a complete sentence. But I'm sure he needs the traction control in his Prius. He sure can't figure out how to use roll down windows.

IIRC, New Jersey has had a law on the books about 20 years that would mandate the purchase of smart guns whenever the technology is on the market. It is not only that, but be sure the government will want to have the means to turn off your gun. I can easily see Google or other Big Tech giving the government access to your gun aps or even their location.
4 digit code sequence " LPL laughs". Low energy Bluetooth " Hello Bluejacking".
If we made open carry normal again a lot of this would go away. It would bring back respect for the firearm. Safety rules would be better followed.
I thought there was a fire control system, but it turned out to be a fingerprint reader.
If your hands are dirty, you're in trouble
Or wet, or maybe even if they're just cold... Imagine if you got some grease or something else on your fingertips ?
If this happens to go through, follow the money trails for the manufacturers of the tech. Almost certain they would pass bills requiring current 07s to adapt the new manufacturing to install this tech at their own cost, or hit the road!
Figures youtube would flag this as may contain self harm topics, since they don't like anything to do with guns
yeah....hard pass! the #1 thing I look for in a firearm is how quickly I can grab it and fire it. I don't want some electronic lock that can be hacked, get wet and not read my print or go dead because I forgot to charge it. I will NEVER accept that. I will also NEVER comply with being forced to use anything like this period!
Smart guns are so dumb. It be like.. "hang on, pause this mugging while i log into my defense weapon"
Colion, agree with about 65% of your stuff but this I agree. Does this mean that now we can leave the smart gun laying around? Does the "treat all guns as if their loaded" concept go away? This way their saved by a battery operated object that may leak or over heat or go dead. Not looking to lay my life on the line with a computer.
Ten plus year old law says if one smart gun is sold in America, all non smart guns are illegal. This is bad.....
