The problem is that we have stupid guns in the United States

Lol, that guy is total pillock!

Like with any software, criminals would just find ways to 'hack it' to make put them selves back in full control of their weapon. (Or just obtain 'dumb' guns on a black market from the some 200 million of them already in circulation or illegal imports).

Also where would it leave the 2nd amendment if the authorities had the means to hypothetically disable all non government issue firearms electronically? Doh!

Probably the real reason they'd ever enact such a law.

Since apparently hammers are used as murder weapons in excess of semi-auto rifles (federal 2011 crime stats are latest I could find), perhaps smart hammers as well. Might stop some of us from hitting our thumbs towards the end of a weekend honeydo list when we've had a break or two with a beer into the bargain.

Street robbers will have no choice but to force their victims to hold up a kilo of carrots before they can stab them! Its genius I tell you

"We want to learn how to defend ourselves against carrots, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me!"

to be honest, an RFID chip in guns would be nice, so It can be known if somebody is armed. Imagine how much easier for police it would be, Driving through the hood to be able to scan and know if there are guns in the area and how many, Also, when you walk through the door with one like oh lets say in a school, an alarm goes off etc.

People say:

"oh well whats the point of Concealed carry if people know you have a gun?" well, I for one don't have to worry because I do nothing Illegal with my firearms. Imagine having a sensor, like in front of your house that could instantly Alert you to some stranger entering your property with a weapon, and for that matter what if it even had the ability to alert the police if so chosen?

Gun control schemes only affect law abiding citizens. All a criminal would have to do is remove the RFID chip or block it's signal. Worse it would easily create a false sense of security.
