I *&^%%# well am *%#*$#^ thinking of the children, %#$* it!

What about the person that buys a gun for protection and just leaves it in their closet for an unspecified period of time? Is this moron stating that he will guarantee that the battery will not go bad during that storage time?

If a person needs a gun, they really need a gun. If it doesn’t work ’cause the batteries are dead, are they gonna have time to figure that out and correct the problem before being killed?

I hope this fella pulls his head out of his dark, stinky place and pulls the plug on this before it goes to market.

Or that he has really good insurance for all the wrongful death lawsuits that could potentially be filed.

1) This is just adding a ton of frivolous additions to an already complicated system that is prone to failure anyway? And that this is life-saving equipment that needs to be as reliable as possible?

2) It’s totally useless with the availability of reloading equipment such as it is.

3) The cost of each cartridge will jump significantly with the addition of a solid state switch to them.

4) A minimally competent criminal will likely have no problem bypassing this system once it’s been on the market long enough for a few tech savvy folks to disassemble one and diseminate that knowledge. (Heard of hotwiring, anyone?)

Nevermind all that. We’ve GOT to make people FEEL safe whether they really are or not. And I suppose that if you’re ignorant or an idiot, this will make you feel better.

I am truly amazed at the need folks have to feel safe. The world isn’t safe. Take the risks you have to and the ones you believe to be necessary for a better future. But don’t think you can legislate or engineer risk out of life. You can’t. At best, you’ll have wasted all your effort in the attempt. At worst…well…let’s just say that I believe there are things in this life that are worse than death or injury and leave it at that.
