Smart Guns?

A segment I saw on 60 Minutes last night about "smart guns" that only fire for the registered owner really piqued my interest.  The guns may be smart, but the fools promoting them define stupid.  I can think of three scenarios to prove it.


1. You want to shoot up the school or a movie theater: you are the registered owner of the smart gun, so there is no problem.



2. You want to rob a liquor store: you are going to use a Saturday night special that is not registered to anyone, so there is no problem.



3. You want to defend yourself from the intruder in your home who just killed your husband: the smart gun is registered to your dead husband and it will not fire for you, so there is a problem.

Happy Day of the Dead
