Smart Guns are Coming
wikinerd writes "Eurekalert reports that smart gun technology actually works. According to the press release, smart guns demonstrated by the NJIT, can recognise authorised users utilising "sixteen electronic computerized sensors embedded in the gun's grip" and "Under New Jersey law, passed in Dec. 2002, only smart guns can be purchased in the state three years after personalized handguns become commercially available. Lautenberg said New Jersey's legislative effort to introduce smart gun technology should be a national model for the country"."
...is smart users :)
It will really prevent cases when the victim is killed by his own gun. Imagine the gun blowing up the perp's arm when the fingerprint readers come up with a mismatch.
Now, that's smart.
Online backup with Mozy, sounds like Ozzie, but more!
I for one welcome our sentient weapon overlords
good grief that's offtopic
Not sure. Last time I saw him he was on his knees on a beach going "Noooooooooooooooooo!"
Is the first lawsuit going to be about a smart gun firing when it should not, or a smart gun not firing when it should?
Electronically locked bank vaults would be wedged. Even the little bill dispenser at 7-Eleven would die. You'd manage to get about thirty five dollars and 9 cents from the Salvation Army pail before cops with conventional guns ventilated your hide.
Trolling is a art,
Of course it will recognize someone trying to help the owner. Otherwise they wouldn't call them smart guns, would they?

"I think the issue is that your right to bare arms is just incase the government turns bad and everyone needs to overthrow them "
Yup...nothing overthrows a government more effectively than a t-shirt wearing mob.
Ah-ah, I know what you're thinking punk. You're thinking are his hands sweaty enough to mess the sensors? And to tell you the truth I've in all this excitement I'm not feeling too fresh. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful hand gun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question--Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk!
nah, the EMP power-up is hidden on the top of the level, behind the bell tower. you just need to worry if they have double damage and lightning gun. Bzzzzt.

As long as this stays in New Jersey and doesn't come to the United States, I think we're safe.
