I chatted up reps at various gun big manufacturers — Colt, Smith & Wesson, Glock — trying to figure out their smart gun strategy. Did they plan on rolling them out? What kind of tech did they plan on using? How many years would it take to bring them to market?

I was met with blank and puzzled stares. Many of them didn’t understand what I meant by “smart gun.”


While that may fly with the uninformed, but all us little dicked proto murderers are well aware that SIG, H&K, SMITH & WESSON, Colt, FN Herstal, IWI/IMI, GLOCK, and Beretta have for years looked at, and even attempted to produce a "smart gun".. In fact S&W has had a magnetic ring lock for decades, yes DECADES... this writer is lying his agenda driven ass off...

And before people start screaming NRA puts pressure on gun makers, HK hates its civilian customers.. true story, civilians are a tiny market share, and it has always focused on its military and LEO sales, making the idea of fielding a reliable "smart gun" incredibly lucrative to them.
