DOJ ordered to seriously consider smart gun use
// Personal Liberty Digest™
President Barack Obama is quietly continuing his beleaguered gun control crusade this week, demanding that the Department of Justice begin taking a serious look at how widespread implementation of so-called smart gun technology might work.
DOJ, on Friday, will begin seeking public input about the viability of the technology, which is designed to render firearms incapable of unauthorized use, as part of the president's Plan to Reduce Gun Violence.
From Justice: "The President is directing the Attorney General to work with technology experts to review existing and emerging gun safety technologies, and to issue a report on the availability and use of those technologies. In addition, the Administration will issue a challenge to the private sector to develop innovative and cost-effective gun safety technology and provide prizes for those technologies that are proven to be reliable and effective."
According to Nancy Rodriguez over at the National Institute for Justice, the administration wants private sector participants in the challenge to prove to naysayers that smart guns are just as reliable as conventional firearms.
The president's strong desire to make smart guns a thing has many police organizations throughout the country worried that the DOJ will require officers to test the technology in the field in the future.
"Police officers in general, federal officers in particular, shouldn't be asked to be the guinea pigs in evaluating a firearm that nobody's even seen yet," James Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, told POLITICO. "We have some very, very serious questions."
Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association is concerned that once the president will mandate that all firearms available to consumers incorporate the electronics if it's determined that the technology is proven.
If that became the case, it isn't inconceivable that Americans may one day see a future where the 2nd Amendment could be eliminated with the flip of a switch.
