Smooth, in my old Chevy the brakes are hydraulic, the steering is Rack and Pinion (mechanical), the throttle is mechanical, and combustion is controlled by the distributer.

This however is not relevant. The point Jaseca is trying to make, is the computer itself is not inherently dangerous. Having a firearm that will not fire in a self-defense situation (fear for life) because of computer failure, or the police disabled it for their protect (and to hell with anyone else) or the criminal cracked it so you are stuck holding a very expensive club.

The point being, a firearm that has an increased likelyhood of not going off when you pull the trigger is a liability in self-defense situation.

To take Jaseca's analogy of the car one step further, would you buy a car that could be shut off anytime the police thought it was in their best interest. But it wouldn't be just your car, it would be every car in a certain radius. Except for those of the criminal element who defeat the computer and crack it.
