Wharfie, Personalized smart guns, which can be fired only by verified users, may finally become available to U.S. consumers after two decades of questions about reliability and concerns they will usher in a new wave of government regulation. That's not "common sense." That is essentially banning every gun out there and trying to get them replaced with "smart guns." It's no different than a complete prohibition on firearms. Besides, I have my doubts as to how well the authenticators work on these "smart guns." The national standard for the time between drawing your gun and firing off a shot is 2.0 seconds. Skilled firearm users, such as the guy that stopped the mass shooting in Greenwood, IN, can shorten that time to 1.5 seconds or less. If the gun takes even a fraction of a second sensing a fingerprint, that's forever in terms of a defensive use of a firearm. Heck, the fingerprint sensor on my old iPhone took about 0.5 seconds, which is way too long when it comes to drawing a firearm in the heat of the moment. But nice try, Wharfie. Try again with another example of "common sense" measures ... Tenchusatsu
