Smart Guns Are Coming and They Scare the Crap Out of Me
After attending SHOT for ten years, few things seem truly new to me. Everything seems like a variation on a theme – with occasional bouts of clever design – and I rarely see something that makes me stop and wonder about the future.

That wasn’t the case at the Radetec booth. There, I saw an assortment of smart guns and smart gun accessories. Some were cool and useful, like a pistol round counter that tracked lifetime use for maintenance purposes. Some were straight up sci-fi, like the Glock with a “smart slide” featuring a digital display in place of a striker cover plate. It displays the number of rounds remaining in a magazine.

Some were scary.

All my guns are completely void of any animation and yet they are smarter than any democrat I have ever met.

Let the government employees use them first. Let the employees guard their masters.

If only they would allow my guns on school property then they could be smart. It's all making sense now.

You can keep your “smart” firearms. I’ll gladly take my dumb firearms where I make all the decisions.

I've been wanting a digital round counter build into guns for a hell of a long time now. Issue is, how will tech like this, be forced upon the average person in the future? Requiring all guns to be smart? Requiring GPS tracking? It's a slippery slope for damn sure..

What's all this BS about "digital round counters"? You think you're Colonial Marines? Even they could count to 10 (or 7) which is as high as they would need to count in the DPRNY.

Don't worry.

Soon enough you won't be able to have these, either.

My Glock only has an associates, my Sigs all have master's.

From what was explained..it's all wasted nonsense to me. Digital round counter...lol....rounds fired for maintenance counter...lol...I believe you should know your weapon better than your wife or girlfriend. And handle it better.

Even without the 1984 big brother scenarios of big government or bad guys electronically disabling your 2A rights at will, the best comment may have been ...

"Ever had a power window on your car FAIL and find yourself wishing you had the ' old fashioned ' roll down window instead ?"
