Current Events > Just bought my first gun...

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's a smart gun actually...

https://smartgun.com/

Just for home defense and the occasional recreation at a range. I've always been hesitant to get something unless I felt 100% confident it would be safe to have around my family.

What are your thoughts on smart guns and whether or not they'll help our gun issues?

What makes it smart?

Wouldn't it be safer to just buy a taser, that way you don't have to go to prison for life when you murder an intruder ?

This topic is a lie. Don't go on the internet and lie.

You really dusted this account off for this shitpost eh?

Tasers are notoriously unreliable.

It should come with a copy of MGS4

So, is it indeed more effective than viagra?

How much did that set you back?

Oh hell know. Biometrics for defense. Shit, nu-uh.

I've never looked into smart guns but imo the more moving parts, the more likely you are to have problems.

It is pretty cool tech tbh, Forgotten Weapons has a good breakdown on it. I'll probably wait a couple more gens before I seriously consider buying one though.

Like $1700.

Do you feel safer?

Do you have it now? Have you used it?

The odds of this weapon malfunctioning on you are too great lol

That's what I'm thinking. Fuck that shit.

I think it's not so much about making it safer for TC, but he could be living with children who may accidentally get their hands on it.

Not yet. It wont ship until early next year.

God damn, that's a long wait.

No, this gun is brand new on the market. I've shot plenty of other guns before.

So do you like, send them your thumbprint and a selfie to place an order?

Did anyone watch the video in the link? They literally have the gun just sitting on the kitchen counter. I get that its a smart gun. But no tech is perfect. Thats a ridiculous promo.

Gun experts are actually generally very positive on the Biofire's functionality. The only people who aren't are bubba's and conspiracy nuts.

nope you handle that through the dock station that comes with it. There is no internet connection attached to this and no one gets access to that data. The biometric data lives locally on the gun only.

You don't have to store it the way the video shows it. That's just a promo for how safe they are confident the gun is.

I got my LTC last year but just have had other expenses come up. Hopefully I will buy my first gun by next year.

Ooo like that special gun gadget from Skyfall?

good luck with that.

That's what I was asking, do they feel safer with it, (as opposed to a regular firearm). I should have been more specific.

Yea, I don't trust an electronic to survive the kinetic force equal to a major league pitch too many times. Plus you now also need to worry about keeping it charged and the inevitable death of the battery.
Don't know why you'd pay nearly $2000 for that when you could have spent less then $200 for a .38 revolver and either kept it in a locked drawer or in a trigger lock.

My biometric safe gives me problems. I wouldn't have it on a gun.

That's not exactly the most robust use of critical thinking I've seen but I'm happy it works for you.

Hmm, can I use this tech for a chastity condom?

Oh look you bought something that is totally illegal in Britain where I live.

I will never understand why Yanks have this obsession with guns and thinking they need them to stay safe.

It's a big, crazy country. In part, the constitution made the rule because of England.

is that sign made out of cherry picked Kevlar?

1 charge lasts for months with normal use and the gun can be fired continuously for several hours.
