Hardly Anyone Is Buying 'Smart Guns'

Daniel_Stuckey writes "The technology is here. So-called 'smart guns' are being programmed to recognize a gun owner's identity and lock up if the weapon ends up in the wrong hands. Entrepreneurs and engineers have been developing technology to make safer guns since the early '90s, and by now we've got working prototypes of guns that read fingerprints, hand grips or even sensors embedded under the skin. But after 15 years of innovation, personalized guns still haven't penetrated the marketplace."

Even when there was only 4 people on the planet there was still murder.

I'm pretty sure you were joking but there never has been only 4 people on the planet.

So, we went from a point of having 0 people, to having 1000 people, with no intermediate stage? Please explain the science of that.
