Another outrageous gun control bill to be introduced in Congress! Massachusetts Congressman John Tierney said he is introducing a bill to require all newly manufactured handguns to be equipped with technology that allows the guns to only work in the hands of their owners or other authorized users.

Idiot is right, but I say more power to him!  Let him chase this red herring.

Paul Revere is rolling in his grave. More than likely has been along with the Founding Fathers.

I believe Idiots is the right word.

Maybe HE can afford the added cost.....I can't!

If it comes to that and a person who legally owned the gun and it malfunctions, can the surviving significant other sue the congress people personally involved in this BS legislation!     I would bet Congress would reconsider some of the BS they vote on if they could be personally held accountable...

In point of fact, all my guns are already protected by such a system.  They are either in a locked safe or on my person, or the person of an authorized user.

My my gun itself is not high tech.

And this legislation is nuts.

[gandog56]

Well, we keep re-electing these idiots, don't we?

[sqlbullet]

I don't.  I didn't vote for a single incumbent or major party candidate in the last election.

Not saying the others will be better, but they can't be worse.

I used the royal "we", meaning a majority, not us personally. At least I helped one Republican win in our local elections.

It kind of kills me to see some TV comentators (or whoever) say they still have faith in the American public overall, but then a communist gets voted into the Whitehouse twice in a row.  Don't get me wrong, I like to give most people I come across in daily life the benefit of the doubt even if just to be nice, but no doubt there are a lot of low information voters out there (as Rush Limbaugh would put it).

Hasn't Colt been working on a failed system that required a ring or bracelet worn by
the gun owner to allow him/or her to be the only one able to fire said gun. Even during
tests they have never been able to get it work reliably very often and they've been working
on this since something like the 80's.

If there were a system that would only allow the owner to shoot the gun. You can bet there would be a built in way for the government to turn the gun OFF so it could NEVER be used against them!
Remember the Second Amendment was put there to protect the people of the USA, against a out of control government.
