#18  People who buy into the "smart gun" crap really don't understand machinery at all.

#17  Odds are it can be defeated by a single wire.

That is why Version 2.0 will make a wi-fi connection to the central database before it fires to make sure your license and fees are up to date. No checking for outstanding warrants though since that would be racist.

#9  The gov't will issue them to criminals at no charge, along with fresh needles. Safety is a huge concern.

#5  Even if it can be hacked some of the time, it means that it basically works.

Its a great head spliter if needed also.

#3  That it can be hacked is the best thing that can happen.

The worse thing is it doesn't sell in the US.

GLOCK9000: I am afraid I can't do that Dave.

#1  The more complicated you make something, the less likely it is to work when you absolutely need it.
