I haven't heard this mentioned, but I have the feeling that smart guns aren't about kids and accidents - they are to prevent a gun being taken off a dead cop from being used to get another gun to and foment a revolution.
It is a given that once only the police and military have guns, the government ( feeling secure ) will commit enough outrages the people will want to revolt.
Up to now ( smart gun technology ) the answer has been simple. Find someone with a gun, take it away from them, use it to get another gun, and so on. With smart gun technology, such militants would end up with a dead cop or soldier and a useless gun.
I don't like this scenario. I hope I'm being paranoid. Tell me that, please. What do you guys think? Are they really more concerned about keeping guns out of kid's hands?
