Would like to run this idea of Gun control by you. (Actually not very complicated)

Whenever I start my car I have to have the key (which has a chip in it) that tells the lock "Everything is OK".

Seems like if gun owners wore a little bracket that told a chip in their weapons that "This is your weapon, you can fire", it might cut down in the selling or stealing of weapons?

Just an idea.

5. Smart guns are a concept

that people have been discussing for years. I realize many people lack working knowledge of firearms, but I can assure you that as a method of crime prevention it would not be effective. Guns aren't much more than a metal pipe with a collection of springs and pins, retrofitting guns with iPhone like technology won't be of use as a crime reduction tool.

Check out these homemade Brazilian firearms:

If you're looking for lack of working knowledge of just about anything, you're at the right place, primitive.

2. By all means make it and sell it

I am for all choices. I would not purchase it though, many later. What is the power source? Cars have large charged up batteries? Firearms have to work 100% of the time, this adds another big variable for that functionality. Most firearms owners would store those items together, so both would likely be stolen.

6. Oh, I wouldn't make something like that unless there was a good market for it. So far, the responces

...tell me that the market would not support it. Fair enough.

7. I think that is why they are not available

There has to be a market for them to succeed.

Maybe you guys could fund it through a DUAC organized WishaDUpe donation page?

Proposals to mandate "smart guns" were made in a vacuum of existing products and with disregard for the unreliability of prototype and pilot production products. The point was never "smart guns", but a pretext to get "dumb guns" banned & confiscated, and make guns that could be sold prohibitively expensive (that they would have been unreliable for self-protection would have been regarded as a bonus feature, though).

I was talking to my Skittle shitting Unicorn this morning when I went out to get my daily perpetual motion energy Skittles, and he thought smart guns were a good idea too.

My unicorn ran off once. I followed the trail of Skittles and caught her before a DUmmy killed her for her golden eggs.
