Raylan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just what I need a blutooth app that will fail to sync when I'm about to be beaten or shot to death. I mean what could go wrong. "Honey did you charge the gun today?" "No, I thought you were going to." "Well crap!" "Device not found" "Failed to sync" "Error, app needs update, please download and install update before using app." "Hey, give me back my phone." "Why what are you going to do shoot me?" "Well I can't shoot you, cause you have my phone." Shooter enters premises..........Me - grabs gun from holster, oops......puts gun back in holster.............pulls out cell phone and pulls up app to enable gun............waits for gun to sync.............pulls out gun again..............oops already dead... https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/machine-inc-announces-safeop-aftermarket-smart-gun-system-for-glock-19-pistols/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 All of my handguns have a 100% reliable enabler. It’s called a trigger. Don’t need anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That way they could disable your ability to use a gun from the comfort of a white van at the end of your street. I'm sure there are ways of monitoring just exactly what and how many guns your cell phone is able to access. The possibilities are endless. Ultimate gun surveillance and government monitoring.

Pat Riot Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The only interface my guns need are my hands and fingers. It’s a point and click interface followed in milliseconds by a loud bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 ........... does this mean that the thief(stolen gun) and perpetrator doesn't have enough to sue; so now the victims and family can sue a more lucrative source ?

DeaconKC Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 More likely an activist judge who would like to see manufacturers quit selling in Canada. This will solve "gun violence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
