With some kind of computer chip that disables the gun within X feet from a school or hospital, etc.? I haven't really thought too much about it. Thoughts?

I think it's pretty obvious you haven't thought about this at all.

Surely you could, too, but you failed to state any.

Go look up "skip-shift". Nearly every mention is in the context of disabling it.

Because they're a stupid concept for something as basic as smashing a pin against a primer and New Jersey has a law that makes them the only guns you can buy if they're ever sold in the US, so people won't try to make or market them in the only country that would buy such a thing or else they'll be threatened.

Also it's another fragile part that can break making it terrible in a life or death situation, not even mentioning the batteries.

Im sure its entirely possible to create such a device, but I cant see how it would be seriously be introduced. Guns dont use any electricity or any real sophisticated technology. The electronic component that shuts the gun down would just be removed.

If you are going the smart gun route, you are better off going with biometric identification than having them stop working in specific locations.

Because, it's a meaningless gesture.
All it does for legitimate gun owners is add expense and a point of failure.
All it does for criminals is the brief inconvenience of removing the "smart" bits.
