MaudDib, if you cannot come up with better arguements than knee-jerk emotional responses, there is no point in further discussion. I have yet to see hard facts or any supporting evidence for your claims. Until you can up with credible sources, I am through arguing logic angainst emotion. Hiding behind the justifications of HCI and the like will not help find an ecumenical solution. Only when both sides can find understanding and rationale can a true and fair solution be reached.
Yalaynia, this so called smart gun technology is a joke. It poses serious problems for the misuse/abuse of power. Anything electronic can be cracked, it can fail. What is to stop the government from requiring a failsafe built in so police can be sure of not getting shot? Who will be responsible if your defense firearm fails when you need it, when the police shut it down for their protection? The police? The city? Fat chance. Not to mention the possibility of confiscation.
As for me, there will be an old fashion mechanical firearm waiting when they come confiscating. I have no qualms about that, because they have clearly voided the Constitution.
"O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone...Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation...inflicted by those who had no power at all?"
-Patrick Henry
