DEMOCRAT PROPOSES SMART GUN MANDATE FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
California state senator Jerry Hill (D-Dist. 13) has introduced a bill to “mandate” smart guns as the only kind of guns law-abiding Californians can “sell, lend, or give” to another law-abiding Californian.
The bill, SB 678, defines a smart gun as “a firearm that will only fire when activated by an authorized user.”
Breitbart News has previously reported that smart guns are far more expensive than traditional firearms, so much so that a smart gun requirement would immediately make gun ownership a “rich man’s game.”
For example, the Armatix iP1 — a smart gun with which the left is infatuated — costs $1800 per pistol, whereas traditional Glock handguns can purchased brand new for around $500.
In addition to this, smart guns that use bracelets or watches that activate the gun via “radio frequency,” as SB 678 describes can be jammed in a manner similar to cell phone service. Smart gun proponents have already talked about so-called safety that could be afforded school children by creating buffer zones in which the radio signals could be jammed around schools.
But The Washington Post has already raised questions to whether a technology that can be jammed is really a technology to which we want to trust our lives?
What happens when a hacker is jamming smart guns so police can’t shoot criminals or when they are jamming signals so homeowners can’t fight back against invaders?
On top of all these concerns, smart guns have yet to prove reliable. In other words, even when bio-metric readers or access codes are used instead of radio frequency activation, law enforcement says the guns are still too dumb to be smart.
The problem with “smart” guns is listed at length here in the article. Far too many things can go wrong or be manipulated to ever be reliable; and when your life depends on it reliability is really – REALLY important.
The very idea that politicians in California want to institute this kind of law says everything about the fact that its not about gun control, but people control.
“Sure, you can keep your guns but we will have the power to deactivate them anytime we want as to render them useless.”
It is almost impossible to see this bill getting passed even in California, but it’s important to keep in mind that this agenda has to start somewhere and at sometime.
This is just the opening salvo to get “smart guns” as the only option for law abiding Americans.
They understand that this is a generational war. They will take the losses now for the sake of making it an issue and slowly scooping up deadbrains to their cause over the years.
Unless “Smart guns” become far more advanced and reliable in the near future. I just don’t see any gun owner willingly giving up their traditional guns for this.
