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"."
Parent is completely and utterly wrong.
No one in Canada owns a gun for self defence. Only for hunting, and by that means, usually only people living outside the city would own one.
Handguns are illegal to own. All rifles must be registered, and the owners now have to go through a training/gun saftey/registration course.
Unlike in the states, it's illegal for the Wallmart down the street to sell guns.
Actually we have real football, not the fancy-dress grab-the-ball-and-run kind. We have apple pie and constitutionally protected rights, and we also have fair, open elections, which I'm sure you must envy us.
