It seems that gun nuts are terrorizing gun store owners for attempting to sell pistols that can be fired only if the user is wearing a device to allow firing. This is amazing that zealots can actually be loony enough to be against gun safety. What can be said?

One important point to remember: Any gun that can be immobilized remotely can be hacked by others including your government.
Within 60 days after such a smart gun hits the market, you will be able to download a hack from the internet. Hundreds of millions spent and nothing accomplished.
The pressure on the gun shop owner was due to the fact that New Jersey had passed a law that required ALL gun owners to use such smart gun technology within 90 days after it became available. This is in violation of the 2nd ammendment. If you can't afford it, you lose your guns and your right to protect yourself.
These gun laws are not about safety. It is about taking away your rights.
The only people who will be controlled by these anti gun laws are law abiding citizens. Criminals will ALWAYS be able to get guns. No form of prohibition has ever worked in this country...not drugs, not alcohol, not speeding, not running red lights, not common courtesy. None.
