“You can make a grip that essentially knows whether it’s the owner based upon the size of their hand, the pressure,”

“It’s not a fingerprint thing, it’s just like essentially the dimensions of your hand, and then if someone else tries to fire the gun then it doesn’t work."

"A lot of owners would love it, because who doesn’t want a gun that’s just yours?” he said. “And a lot of gun owners have children … so if you were to make it cost-free, you would see hundreds of thousands of these guns become personalized, and then much, much safer.”

I don't want any sort of "smart gun". Strictly mechanical.

I am glad that this technology exists for people that want to use it...but how would this help with mass shootings?

I for one would feel much better being killed with a personalized weapon.

Well, why not just take it a step farther. Let's have one of those female electronic voices say:
'Good evening, Steve. I see you would like to use your gun. A few questions before I make it operational. What is your mother's maiden name?'

Maybe it can test your blood or have you breath into it before using it. "You didn't take your meds today! Gun inactive till you pass a blood test."

Hey guys, we have a problem in this country with gun violence. Maybe we should look at making potential owners get training before they purchase a gun?
"frick you! 2nd Ammendment! "

Okay, well maybe we should make it harder for the mentally ill and violent offenders to have guns?
"No!"

Okay, well maybe we can use technology like biometrics to make it so guns only respond to their owners?
"No, frick you!"

Didn't PedoJoe already propose this a few months back? Something similar anyway.
