THE Gun Thread

[weaponoffreedom]

In contrast, I have a very good knowledge of these things, likely more than anyone you know...... I just want to hear you out with respect so I can understand you point of view.

Well, if we're going with self-proclaimed authority, I did shoot expert marksman in the Air Force as a firefighter member of a Prime BEEF team. You may or may not know more than I, but you clearly had no idea what smart guns are, so if I were in your shoes I'd probably be a little more circumspect in my opinionatin'.

Your expertise, in short, will be judged by your audience. Right now I'm unimpressed.

It was a poor attempt at humor, but I am well aware of what a smart gun is "supposed" to be, when they prototyped nearly 30 years ago..........point of my improperly placed "smart gun, whats that" comment, was I challenge you to find one today, I think you will find the pickens to be quite slim, in that in the 3rd quarter of 2022, which is not even here yet.  I find it hard to believe that the companies will last, being as the only ones who would buy them, are those who dont really want people to have guns.

You know, I just entered this forum, and there seems to be a lot of aggression here.  I am just trying to get other perspectives, and not fight with others with pointed comments........ But as to my credentials.....not that it matters, being on an online forum, but:
