Many people are talking about Obama's new push for Smart Gun technology. In his Town Hall he asked for someone to explain the reason why we don't have it. In his mind its obvious that the bad gun owners have been stalling this essential life saving technology.
On seeing the various reports I had to ask myself how no one knows anything about the actual history of Smart Guns. So I checked Wiki and discovered there was nothing on the history of Smart Guns. They didn't even reference the arms experimented with by Colt and Smith & Wesson in the late 90s and early 2000s. The entire Wiki section just talked of an effort begun in 20013 where various people received grants to develop a Smart Gun and how far they have gone. Long story short my memory of events going back to 1994 is superior to the Internet which doesn't talk of anything earlier then 2013.
I guess I will have to add a blog page and document the history of this effort and why it constantly goes by the wayside. Always there will be people who will claim it will save lives. The reality is it probably would cost lives of those we can ill afford to loose, are soldiers and our Police.
