I am not going to quote the entire article as it is a bit rambling. But here are the highlights

Yikes. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this guy? Guns like this would not only be big and heavy would probably cost $20,000 each. Perhaps that is the whole idea. Make guns so "safe" that no one could afford one.....if they were to purchase a legal gun that is.

This is what comes to my mind when I hear "smart gun".

TrackingPoint makes "Precision Guided Firearms, or "PGFs," which are a series of three heavily customized hunting rifles, ranging from a .300 Winchester Magnum with a 22-inch barrel up to a .338 Lapua Magnum with 27-inch barrel, all fitted with advanced computerized scopes that look like something directly out of The Terminator. Indeed, the comparison to that movie is somewhat apt, because looking through the scope of a Precision Guided Firearm presents you with a collection of data points and numbers, all designed to get a bullet directly from point A to point B.
