Saw this pop up on my news feed today
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-n...ng-us-seeking-shake-firearms-market-rcna11757
Personaly...I find the idea half baked and unworkable. However, with so many new and prospective gun owners in the market, I fear something like this may gain an, albeit small niche, foothold today. Its a rehash of the old RFID systems and....wait for it...app based technology...because of course it is. "Hold up there mister bad guy...just have to get a signal so I can unlock my gun"
Ok, so this isn't just a article dump type post, let me expound on why I think these are a terrible idea. One, you don't rely on a mechanical safety to keep you safe...and certainly not an electronic one. And two, I think this only appeals to people that think they would like to have a gun, but are either afraid of them, or have someone in the home that can't be trusted with one. In either case, probably shouldn't get one. A product like this just offers a false sense of security
