Biometric pistol released for sale...

[Biggfoot44]

I could see certain well financed antis (think Bloomberg or Soros) backing a venture like this. They think strategically where such an investment can trigger laws in states like NJ and maybe CA that make such guns mandatory once they hit the market. The dollar investment can pay off politically for them.

This . Plus the company with the most recent product introduction at that moment will hit the jackpot .

Article states that the company has raised $37mil in venture capital and private funds. I think the Bloomberg's have already invested in this.

 

[Schipperke]

Ask Andy at Engage how it went over.

 

[swinokur]

Who thinks this is a good business idea? Who would invest in this?

Funny, yesterday I received a recall on my 2021 Silverdado, the button that opens the tailgate can get wet have a short and drop the tailgate at any time!

I wonder...if "in common use" is universal, how can the introduction of any particular gun with any particular tech lead to a constitutionally supported ban on anything already "in common use?"

I'll trust my 110 year old 1914 Luger before I'd trust one of those to work reliably.

If your DEI/Social credit score goes too low, it deems you unworthy, and won't unlock your gun. Sentences you to termination.

This did not work well for Judge Dred

The founders would have never dreamed of a biometric lock on a firearm. Those are not protected and should be reserved only for military and police.

What? It's an arm and is therefore protected by the 2a along with glocks, ar15s, and full auto Tommy guns. The technology is pretty cool and should be developed for any that WANT to buy it.



The problem isn't the technology, it's politicians attempting to mandate it. We should boycott and put them out of business rather than this fledgling gun company.

Given the overall dimensions of what was shown I'd conclude that it is unsuitable for concealed carry. So there's that whole train wreck.

 

[Threeband]

The inventor assumes it will be kept at home as a home defense gun.

It seems he got the idea after the Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting. I don't know how he thought a "smart gun" would have made a difference there.

I was being snarky due to the recent oral arguments.

No problem. Issue them to all secret service, capitol police and anybody doing security for any politician first. After they alll use them successfully for 5 or 10 years I'm willing to consider it.

 

[Growler215]

I still remember 25 years ago when we boycotted Smith & Wesson for their 1999 deal with the Clinton administration which, among other things, would have had them develop so called "smart guns." While most boycotts aren't effective, this one caused S&W company to be sold at a discount to previous value.

Or the Grabbers have access to a centralized kill switch.

Making all firearms inoperable.

They would never do that though, as they have respect for the 2A.

I should get MD residency again so I can be the one to buy the first one in MD. That way, you guys have standing to sue.

" Biofire, a Colorado-based startup, says it’s shipping its first batch of 9 mm handguns equipped with fingerprint and facial-recognition technology..."

My facial recognition on my phone actually works about 20% of the time and the fingerprint reader on my little gun safe is dicey as well. If I wash my hands I need to wait to access my safe and then it usually takes 2-3 trys before it pops open. I can imagine a little gun oil or lint or anything on your hands or gun and all you'll have is a small club in your hands. They can keep it.

Gotcha. I missed that.
