Computers in cars increase the efficiency. The computers they were talking about putting in firearms would be for disablement.

First, electronic keys can be generated. So if you want to carry the analogy that far you certainly could. Like cars, only people with keys could fire weapon.
But that wasn't the point. How it relates is the fact that we rely on electronics every second of our modern lives, at much greater danger to ourselves than implementing them in firearms.
Computers in cars don't just enable efficiency. They also control the braking system, the steering, the throttle, the combustion, and etc. At any point in time, millions of people hurtling down the freeway at 70+ mphs expose themselves to far greater danger than a single bullet not firing from a gun.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I just think it's a weak argument to claim that electronics in firearms makes them prohibitively dangerous when we use electronics in virtually every life impacting decision each minute.
