Not only NO - but (everyone knows the rest of this story)

NO! The fingerprint unlock on my iPhone doesn't work half the time. No way I'd depend on that technology for my life.
That right there. Wet fingers, cold fingers, dirty fingers; 'smart' stuff is failure prone and unreliable. No. I don't even like safeties. I very rarely use a safety!

There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

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. All part of their agenda; fits right in.

There would be, for sure, a backdoor to de-activate.

Not a chance that I would buy one.
It seem's like Mossberg is wanting a big slice of the government/LE/military business with this technology.

Mine presently seem smart enough.

Not a hope in Hell, I am irritated enough with my cars thinking they can tell me what to do.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

No, I also will not own a "smart phone".

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. In your dreams. The neat thing about simple mechanical devices is that you can generally tell if they will work reliably by looking at them. Electronics.....not so much. Not just no.....

Not just no, but phugg no!
There's two reasons our beloved Barry wants to push this, and neither has anything to do with accepting private ownership or increasing safety.
