Smart guns will mean .gov requires a kill switch that they control.
Right on the nose.
You don't really think that the people responsible for turning murders and rapists loose on the street daily, have our safety and welfare as a primary concern?

I would also add that this younger generation of criminals are more tech savvy then the people making the laws, I'm sure a teenager will learn how to hack the gun before it even hits store shelves
Probably have an app for it on his phone
Not swap out, the "Childproof Handgun Bill" only makes it illegal for retail dealers to sell or transfer any handgun that isn't "smart" enough for New Jersey. I believe private sales are registered but don't have to pass through a dealer, so people can still privately buy and sell existing "simple guns"?New Jersey has a law that was passed in 2002 that mandates that once a "smart" gun is sold anywhere in the US, New Jersey gun owners have 3 years to swap out their traditional firearms for "smart" guns.
I saw it on the news last night.
New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) was one of the original backers of S 573 (formerly S 890) in 2002, and is currently offering the current devil's bargain to the NRA...C.2C:58-2.5 said:Sale of personalized handguns, inapplicability.
4. a. On and after the first day of the sixth month following the preparation and delivery of the list of personalized handguns which may be sold in the State pursuant to section 3 of P.L.2002, c.130 (C.2C:58-2.4), no person registered or licensed by the superintendent as a manufacturer, wholesale dealer of firearms, retail dealer of firearms or agent or employee of a wholesale or retail dealer of firearms pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.2C:58-1 or N.J.S.2C:58-2 shall transport into this State, sell, expose for sale, possess with the intent of selling, assign or otherwise transfer any handgun unless it is a personalized handgun or an antique handgun.
b. The provisions of this section shall not apply to handguns to be sold, transferred, assigned and delivered for official use to: (1) State and local law enforcement officers of this State; (2) federal law enforcement officers and any other federal officers and employees required to carry firearms in the performance of their official duties and (3) members of the Armed Forces of the United States or of the National Guard.
c. The provisions of this section also shall not apply to handguns to be sold, transferred, assigned and delivered solely for use in competitive shooting matches sanctioned by the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the International Olympic Committee or USA Shooting. The Attorney General may promulgate rules and regulations governing the scope and application of the exemption afforded under this section. The Attorney General, by rule and regulation, may require, at a minimum, that a person acquiring a handgun pursuant to this section submit valid proof of participation in these sanctioned shooting matches.
So...if the only "smart gun" is a handgun, will all NJ duck hunters have to "swap out" their 12 and 20-gauge shotguns for "smart" handguns? Makes no sense, since handguns are much more heavily controlled in anti-gun states (like NJ), as opposed to traditional rifles and shotguns.New Jersey has a law that was passed in 2002 that mandates that once a "smart" gun is sold anywhere in the US, New Jersey gun owners have 3 years to swap out their traditional firearms for "smart" guns.

I think this has all been pretty much covered in every "smart" gun thread. No one fears the tech, but none of us wants to be forced to use it.I don't have a problem with smart guns.
I don't have a problem with manufacturers of smart guns.
I don't have a problem with FFL's that want to sell smart guns.
I don't have a problem with people who choose to buy smart guns.
What I have a problem with is clueless politicians telling me that if I want a new gun it needs to be a smart gun to comply with proposed moonbat laws suggested by moonbat AG candidates.
What I have a problem with is the constant bombardment of attacks on my second amendment rights which has been proven time and time again to NOT reduce crime.
What I have a problem with is politicians and the media finger-pointing at legal law abiding citizens as the problem to crime and murder.
What I have a problem with is their lack of acknowledgement that criminals commit crimes.
What I have a problem with is their fear of criminals and their obvious cowardice.
What I have a problem with is their PC agenda to keep,based on race, career criminals out of prison and their ability to let career criminals out of prison to re-offend all for the mighty vote.
But what I really have a problem with is the idiot residents of this stupid commonwealth that keep voting these useless POS pols back into office without any consideration of accountability of their actions while in office. I swear people in this state get dumber by the day.
Should not be a problem for police since they only _think_ they are in the military.I'm sure others have mentioned it but the military isn't going to use this cause an EMP would render all their guns useless.

While there are a lot of RF jammers on the market, it's actually quite difficult to randomly jam active RFID when the transmitter and receiver are within inches of each other. GPS and Cell phone jammers only work because the interfering transmitter is so much closer to the receiver than the authentic transmitter.My main problem with smart guns is that most of them are based on RFID, and RF (radio frequency) is easy to jam with a million and 1 jammers on the market. Some of the jammers are pretty small to.
Actually, I don't think the government is stupid enough to do this.I believe the gov has a kill switch right now, for all these so called smart guns.
Actually, I don't think the government is stupid enough to do this.
Just assume they did implement a "kill switch" in the ARMATIX iP1, yet this "feature" is not disclosed to the buyer. Unless they're doing something insanely clever, I can assure you that there are some very smart reverse engineers out there who will buy an iP1, tear it down, and if they discover anything that even smells like a government "kill switch", will crow about it from the rooftops. Guys like TAMPER labs use tunneling electron microscopes and differential power analysis to break black box security all day long, ARMATIX would be a fun afternoon's work for them, if that.
The discovery of a secret kill switch would kill any chance of smart guns ever getting market share outside of New Jersey.

The problem with smart guns is that they are dumb.
I'm pretty sure the manufacturer already admitted the kill switch was part of the technology or at least doable.
Wish I could find the article.
everyone is skirting the real issue. What happens when these "smart guns" become self-aware???
BREAKING: Smart Gun Maker Filed Patent for Remote Kill Switch
By Robert Farago on May 18, 2014
An alert reader emailed TTAG central with news that Armatix GmbH - makers of the iP1 “smart gun” – filed a patent application that included a remote kill switch for the firearm. Click here to view patent EP 1936572 A1, dated 2006. (Not a bug; a feature!) I’m not a patent attorney or an electrical engineer, but as far as I can tell this is the bit (translated from the original German) that indicates remote disabling . . .
Preferably, the inventive device is designed such that the device or the activated identification medium authenticated in response to a signal transmitted from a remote station to the device wake-up and request signal, whereupon the remote station a logical and / or physical access or access to one and allows or prevents a target device . . .
Preferably, the apparatus of the invention can be controlled remotely, for example via satellite and can send information to a satellite.
This would be a good time to point out that TTAG’s been trying to get ahold of a iP1 for some time, so that hi-tech members of our Armed Intelligentsia could develop a jamming device. Thank goodness we didn’t! We could have been sued!
You may recall that New Jersey’s “smart gun” mandate goes into effect the moment a single example is offered for commercial sale anywhere in the United States. Three years later, The Garden State would ban the sale of non-”smart guns.”
Gun rights advocates fear that it’s a short step from a ban on the sale of “dumb guns” to a ban on their ownership. At that point, New Jersey gun owners would be at the mercy of criminals or government agents - who could possess “dumb guns” and “smart gun” jammers, such as the one described in the patent application.
If the New Jersey mandate spread to other states or went federal, well, that wouldn’t be good. For anyone. Save the aforementioned German gunmaker, criminals and tyrants.
