Smart Guns - Stupid People

The new "Smart" gun in the news have two basic working ideas. The most popular it seems is a .22 caliber model that costs $1399 and works on RFID (Radio Frequency Indicator) technology. You have to have a watch (or ring) that sends a signal to your gun and must be within 6 inches of the gun for it to be operable (a light on the back of the firearm turns green). Thus preventing the gun to work if stolen. Right?

The other, a 1911 model, mostly is set up with fingerprint technology. Because we all know that this is the fastest most reliable safety when you need to defend yourself quickly. Actually with a lot of practice you might be able to pull this maneuver quickly even with all of the adrenaline and fear. Right?

I am not saying that owning a smart gun makes someone stupid. But how stupid do they think we are? My guns are smart guns (not electronic). They do not need a watch or ring (sold separately). They do not need a fingerprint in the right location. Do you know why they are smart? Because we are not all idiots.

I keep my guns locked up when they are not on my person. SMART.

I learn, study, and practice safety at all times SMART.

I teach my children and others safety and safe practices SMART.

My guns are in a 1200 pound safe bolted to the wall and floor SMART.

Regular Practice SMART.

I have read many news stories over the last couple of days from the pro-gunners and the anti-gunners (some story links below) that jump to conclusions and reactions of what they think the other thinks about and how they will respond to these "safer" firearms. But, there are a few things that are very important that I am not hearing people talk about. Many people assume that anybody that is pro gun is a conspiracy theorist, a nut job, or both. With that as a lead in, here are a few things to consider.

1) We promote Safety. Keep your guns out of reach etc. etc. Unfortunately, there are many people (sorry southern CA) that will rely on the technology of this new firearm. i.e. "I don't need to put it up, no one can use it anyway" This will happen! This will promote terrible habits.

2) Electronics can fail. According to Murphy it will happen when you need it

3) In battle, the first step is to disable communication. Jam signals. disable electronics. The far left and some in our government (such as those pushing gun restrictions and Smart guns) say that anyone that fears gun grabbers and takeovers are paranoid. That being said, with guns that rely on RFID technology to work, how hard would it be for them (Army, NATO, DHS) to disable any gun that relys on electronic tech?

4) At a price tag of $1399 plus a watch (sold separately) at $400, instead of 1 Stupid gun with too many opportunities for failure, I will instead buy two SMART guns such as these two below.

New Gun Control in Oregon

New gun bills can be the beginning of the end.

In February, Senator Floyd Prozanski (D-Eug) says this time he is sure that he will have the votes he needs to pass the new Gun Control legislation going to the floor in February. This is not something for us (the tax paying, voting) citizens of Oregon to vote on. This will be determined by the people chosen to represent us.

Prozanski says “I believe it will get an up or down vote because I was told it would get an up or down vote,”

Having his strings pulled by Ginny Burdick, who I am surprised is not in jail for treason against the state of Oregon and the U.S.A., Prozanski is trying to get his toes in the door. This kind of gun legislation only hurts and affect law abiding citizens. Gun rights groups such as OFF (Oregon Firearms Federation) and GRAA can help only so much, but the real people with the ability to shut the door on Senator Prozanskis proverbial foot is you. Us the citizens and voters in Oregon. Let your senators know that we do not want new gun legislation. Especially those that are following blindly the senators that are pushing the same legislation that failed last year.

They say that this is not a gun registration bill, but that is exactly what it is and it only causes problems for law abiding citizens not criminals.

In the amount of time it takes to read this post, or put a picture on Facebook, or watch a set of commercials in the evening, you can send an email to your senator (even if you think yours is one of the good ones) and let them know that you (the voter that they are representing) do not want new gun laws.

I will make it easy for you (commercial break style)

Easy to copy and paste in your email

Their Email addresses are below

Dear Senator,

I am opposed to any new gun legislation in Oregon. We have enough gun control in our state and any more would be an unjust burden on law abiding citizens. I speak for myself and my family and all of my friends are like minded in this matter. We the people want you to vote Against any new gun legislation.

Thank you for representing us how we feel in this matter.

Thank you . .

Don't know your senators email address? Let me make it easy for you.

The bill is a replica of a bill that died during the 2013 session without a vote by the Senate or House. The only difference between the two proposals is the new bill expands the family transfer exception to include Aunts and Uncles passing their guns onto nieces and nephews, Prozanski said.

Don't Let Them Take Away Any More Rights
