Smart guns conquer the US market

These smart weapons only react to previously recognized people. By this year, they could be promoted in the United States, where administrators are deadlocked on gun regulation.

So far, there is no proof that armed self-defense allies are prepared to take them on, nor that these so-called "smart" weapons will meet the same guarantee.

Adam Skaggs, the legal counsel for Giffords, the firearms regulatory association, said he doesn't know if they will actually be positive and if they will be flawed like the smart guns of the past.

The SmartGunz organization has used radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, which are similar to those used in electronic toll cards. The client must wear an associated ring to shoot.

Tom Holland, the Organization's director, speaks to police officers stressed about the possibility of a captured individual pointing his gun at them, or to representatives worried about their children locating theirs.

In addition, he explained that individuals who need a "safer" weapon can decide if they think they need lethal insurance in their home.

His items are being tested by law enforcement units across the country, and he hopes to roll them out to the general population in the spring.

Fingerprints

According to the Pew Research Center firm, approximately 40% of American adults live in a home where there are firearms.

In 2020, almost 23 million units were sold, being a total record, according to Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting, who expected 20 million by 2021.

The increase in homicides in 2020 occurred thanks to the pandemic and the fight against racial discrimination. However, the levels remained below the cases of the 1990s.

While misfortunes in the United States, in schools or public places, are usually news; most of the 40,000 firearm deaths each year are from suicide.

LodeStar Works co-founder Ginger Chandler sees verification frames as a physical but also a mental limit to incidents.

Chandler adds that the moment the authorized person picks up the gun, he'll have minutes to think about whether that's really what he wants to do.

Your Organization intends to announce a 9 mm, in 2023. This weapon can be activated from a mobile app, through biometric fingerprint recognition or with a secret code.

More cunning but dangerous

Presumably, organizations will not have the option of relying on legislators for approval of these new teams. The issue isolates the citizens with the end result of preventing any development of the laws.

In 2000, the American manufacturer Smith and Wesson and Bill Clinton's organization had agreed that smart firearms would be essential for changes to reduce violence.

However, the company fizzled out despite resistance from the strong arms campaign.

Also, in 2002, a law in the territory of New Jersey, which indicated the prohibition of handguns without validation components, caused a stir. It was changed in 2019 into a basic commitment for the state's firearms stores to sell these new age guns, when promoted.

The episode of the disappointment of the German producer Armatix, did not help this innovation for the same reason: in 2017 a programmer circumvented its identification frame with magnets.

This idea is not consistent even among those who support gun regulation. Regardless of whether they are intelligent or not, they will still be deadly weapons.

The researcher specializing in the subject of weapons at Johns Hopkins University, Daniel Webster, assures that these weapons will be bought by people who are at risk. These smart guns, which are more expensive than the others, will appeal to people who really care about safety.

LodeStar co-founder Gareth Glaser insists that he prefers not to be involved in political debates. He assures that he prefers that it be the consumer who chooses, instead of the government.
