this would make guns way too expensive and would not allow the common citizen to own one

scenario 1: If i was a criminal, i'd just get a screwdriver, open the gun and rip out all of the electronics.

scenario 2: Gma who hasnt touched her gun in years, has her home broken into, and cant use her gun, because she forgot to change out the old batteries.

Not going to lie, I like your idea except I would change it to where assault weapons are banned and only the basic less harmful guns are allowed :)

What will that solve though. Just a couple of days ago there was a mass shooting in Montegro. He killed 11 people with a hunting rifle. He was stopped because someone who was conceded carrying shot him.

I like the Judge Dredd idea, however this would make firearms way too expensive for a common citizen. Plus if the fingerprint ID were to malfunction, that half second of reaction time you get to defuse the situation could end up in your death.

You have guns that will only work for you. Like using your fingerprint. (This is my husband's idea and I LOVE it! They have safes that work this way, why not find a way to apply it to firearms?!). Anyways, if someone steals your gun, they cannot use it because their fingerprints are different. Then it's just a glorified paper weight.

Cool idea. Unfortunately that is incredibly unrealistic and even if this type of technology was applied to all guns, there are a lot of problems.

  1. This would make guns more expensive
  2. These things could probably be easily bypassed. A system like this would probably entail a trigger gun lock that can be opened via fingerprint. The thing is that these kinds of locks usually come with a backup key which means a person who can lockpick can easily take out the lock. And even if they can't lockpick, the lock itself can be physically destroyed.

I would say the cons outweigh the pros therefore, I disagree.
