Is It Time To Put Chips In Guns?

28. You are more than free to work on it

just don't mandate it yet. Thats the problem most of us have. Yes, we believe it is a waste of time and impractical but we don't have a problem with people toying around with it. We have a problem when that person who was toying around says "look it works" and a politician decides to mandate it based on the fact it worked in that instance.

There is a general attitude when it comes to these laws that "mandate it and work out the kinks later". Is it so unreasonable to be against this? Is it unreasonable to ask for more thorough testing before having this device installed on your potential new gun.

What about the fact that many who support these laws put exemptions for police and military. It makes you wonder if there is an ulterior motive. Wouldn't this technology help officers the most? IF so, why are they being left out?


on edit: All those examples you use above are still not equivalent to a gun. How many electronic components does the modern gun need to work? ZERO. Guns by there very logic of design are made without the least amount of parts necessary to function. You would be adding a part that could easily be removed no matter how you look at it. That is unless you make the firing mechanism electronic- which would bring a completely different set of questions to the table.
