Smart guns coming (again)

[Cameramonkey]

Same old story. So old I have been here before.

My questions remains: if they are so great, mandate police carry them.

And what a better way to test them.

 

[KLB]

Unless by decree

Doesn't NJ have a law on the books mandating them once they are available?

 

[tim87tr]

”smart” guns = dumb idea

I like seeing them....In Movies, ONLY!

 

[Hatin Since 87]

“Alexa, where’s my gun?”


“I believe it’s on the charger, sir”

 

[Bluedragon]

Stupidest thing to ever enter the gun industry.

 

[DadSmith]

I'm sure BBI is ready to switch to police smart guns

 

[KellyinAvon]

I like my bombs smart, and my guns fully operational.

A hacker's dream, all police are required to carry firearms that only they can fire. Hacker does their handywork, hacking into the police pistol database and neutralizes their sidearms. Open season on anything felons want to do as the cops won't be able to fire back if fired upon.

And remember, commucrats would make it illegal for police to carry non-smart back up.

How does one go about getting one of these smart bombs?

The most cost-effective smart bomb is the Joint Direct Attack Munition, or JDAM. The JDAM is actually a GPS guidance kit for Mk-82/83/84 bombs (500/1000/2000 pound general purpose dumb bombs) as well as the 2000 pound bunker buster.

The JDAM makes dumb bombs smart, and gives us bang for the buck (money line from my speech on the JDAM at the USAF Senior NCO Academy in 2005... can't make this stuff up.)

Back to your question: call Raytheon. They are a defense contractor so there is very little they won't do for money.

I love watching videos of the JDAM’s in Afghanistan. What I would do to be able to be present when one of those blow up a terrorist camp and feel the energy from those things. Wow.

Sadly, I believe Afghanistan and Iraq have shown that the most cost-effective smart bomb is a human being willing to die for 'the cause'

All that's needed is to buy a law, that's probably being negotiated in dc as we speak.

 

[DRob]

"$1,795 for law enforcement and $2,195 for civilians, said Tom Holland, a Kansas Democratic state senator who co-founded the company in 2020."

Does this not tell the entire story?

Marketing won't overcome the price tag for most people.

It worked for the i-phone didn't it? There's a lot of people willing to pay for the "latest and greatest" look at me tech and again using my example of the i-phone.

This is not an iPhone. Some people may get one for the cool factor, but I doubt it will be many.

Same principle applies and more people than you think, just to say they have one.

Might be NJ, I remember that whole fiasco as well.

 

[Robert Richardson]

They will have to add some bling to that decoder ring.

As I recall, it's a little different. Once one gun store in NJ sells a "smart" gun, all will be required to have a smart gun option. I don't recall if there's some quota on percentage of stock that must be smart guns or not. Years later they're still unreliable and absurdly expensive.
