Is the president's secret service detail using smart technology weapons? When they are, I'll look into it. That was going to be my answer too. I work for the school system, if I could carry on school property but had to have smart technology, then absolutely, For my own use, no way,

I haven't even bought a S&W revolver since they added the internal lock. It adds nothing to the functionality of the firearm. Same with any smart gun technology.
So, NO! Exactly. Something else that can go wrong.

Not in this life, and I would shun any manufacturer that puts one forth as though they had colluded with the enemy. This.

I didn't want a gd smartphone either, but now, I got to have the f'n thing. Things change.
I will never be able to stand a Westfield Savage or post 64 Winchester though; just the way I was raised.
How we laughed when the Honda car came out, and the Glock, plastic gums, JC what is this world coming to?

I will own a gun. Just happens I have plenty and if the smart tech was all that was for sale then No. If I was 18 and new to guns and all I could buy is a smart gun then I still want a gun so yes or see if I could find a black market gun. https://smarttechfoundation.org/smart-firearms-technology/jonathan-mossberg/Well Walt guess you need to get rid of all your Mossberg products.

Saw a demo, heard the spiel. Barring a mandate from POTUS, would you buy one if it was just another option? Eff no... And any so-called 'mandate' by the AIC would be fully and totally ignored by anyone with 1/10 a brain.. Of course, that leaves out liberals..

If the technology became reliable enough that I wouldn't have any qualms about betting my life on it, then maybe, depending on how I liked the actual gun itself. Until then, no.
While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.

And I would bet serious money that smart gun technology will jack up the cost of that gun a LOT. Thereby acting to depress gun sales. See how it works? Anything to make it harder, more expensive, more red tape, etc. etc.... But of course they only want "common sense", "reasonable" gun control measures. That means making gun ownership out of reach of the average, law abiding citizen; but not the elite ruling class.

Maybe. Probably be collectible a year or two after introduction.

The fingerprint unlock on my iPhone doesn't work half the time. No way I'd depend on that technology for my life.
Obama thinks he's being creative but Slick Willie already tried this with S&W and it didn't turn out. I would be surprised if any manufacturer was willing to go along with it.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.
