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."

An armed society is a polite society.

Have you ever considered that if "an armed society is a polite society" is true, it means that everyone (including you) is a coward? After all, if you're only being polite to everyone so that you won't give anyone a reason to shoot you, you're already dead inside.
