I'll pass.

If SCOTUS does not curtail the California gun list as an infringement they will narrow the list to this crap and say the 2A still exists…

No bueno

Great news! Let's see the cops equipped with these, after a year or two of I'll consider one.

Government security guards, FBI, and secret service can go first.

Government security guards, FBI, and secret service can go first.

How about the atf and 65000 new irs agents first!

Yeah, they definitely need to work the kinks out first but I think they may have something here.

As long as you could program more than one person to it, like your spouse (or maybe not depending on your relationship, lol). That way a kid or the bad guy that may get ahold of it couldn’t shoot it.

I have enough trouble getting my phone to recognize my face and unlock quickly. I don't think I want a gun that might take an extra couple seconds to unlock before I could use it.

If it is electronic they will always be able to backdoor it and with the push of a button, it never shoots again.

Just like the electric vehichles. You only can drive it as long as they allow you to.

Those are one reason I am a hard "no".

On the surface, the technology sounds neat. In practice, technology sucks. Anything and everything computerized or 'smart' has glitches. Unexpected reboots, power loss, virus, hacks, whatever. I can't imagine having to depend on the latest software "update" for my gun to work.

Nope!!!!!!
A gun made by Bidenlester. lol

Didn’t think about that aspect of it. That’s why it’s nice to hear other people’s perspectives.

So yeah, wouldn’t want someone or something else to have control of my firearm.

 

[nonobaddog]

After the ATF, IRS, FBI and Secret Service have given these their trials we can get ours from their dumpsters.

Exactly. Even if we table the likelihood of a nefarious action, just think about getting the thing to recognize you when fractions of a second count. Anyone that’s used this feature on their cell phones know, when it works, it’s great. But sometimes…it just doesn’t work—for no apparent reason. I don’t think I need another failure mode to have to overcome in an emergency.

 

[fullmetaljesus]

HARD PASS. This is really more of a @BigRed kind of thing.

 

[Dechrissen]

Cool. But don't forget, you will need to undergo the experimental Biofire NFC chip installation surgery in the palm of your hand to be eligible for this technology. Not covered by insurance.
