do you really need it spelled out?

1) it defeats the purpose of the 2nd amendment
2) it creates a major reliability problem with the firearm
3) what if the battery dies
4) out of range?
5) inside a tunnel, elevator, underground, or anywhere else with bad reception?
6) price $$$

what if the firearm gets wet?

Whether there's a way to do it that makes it constitutional is for lawyers and legislators. I think people here are debating feasibility as much as they are constitutionality.

What reliability problem?

What if the battery in your smoke detector dies and your house burns down? Make sure the battery doesn't die.

My idea was that you can't take your home defense gun beyond your home, so that's a feature not a bug.

Unless your home is in a tunnel or you have an elevator in your house, that wouldn't be a problem.

Too bad.

My idea was if your gun stops pinging for some amount of time, you get a call from the police, so don't get it wet, unless you're afraid of a burglar attacking your firearm with a bucket of water.

Arguing the water-proofness is a lot dumber than merely proposing the idea.

Like do you assume people wearing tracking anklets cannot take a shower, while the courts are wondering if they will be effective in case the battery dies?

I mean its a dumb idea, dont get me wrong, but not for the reasons you think it is dumb.

this was about ike's fire in a theatre comment. he performed a classic ikesism, forgot to engage brain before allowing text to be posted. or even a google search could have kept him from ridiculousness. it was another festivus gift.

What if you feed it after midnight?

Sorry it doesn't quite reach the intellectual heights of "arming the good guys"

WOLVERINES!!!

All DUIs occur in DUI free zones. /just saying

Excellent point... I think that means that we have to start issuing flasks and bottles of rye to teachers, or something.

So the takeaway is... let anybody with a driver's license pull over drunk drivers?

The take away is minibars in every car. The only way to stop DUIs is to increase alcoholic tolerance.

So how do we increase bullet skull penetration tolerance?

Movies and video games to desensitize the skulls.

Give the good guys skull penetrating bullets and the bad guys blanks. Easy.

I suppose being half correct at this stage of the analogy is a good result.

Why do guntards don't understand that majority of people don't want to live in a world where everybody is packing or there's a guard with an weapon in every public or private institution?
But I do understand that gun violence is not the main issue. It's a symptom and IMO USA should start working on what causes the symptoms.....

I wouldn't mind if they added alcohol/prohibition II on a weapons ban bill, turn it into an overall safety bill.

Giving bad guys blanks actually happens unintentionally. Some people store their non defense guns with things called snap caps. Basically dummy rounds that only serve to mimic the actions of loading and unloading. Unlike blanks, they don't actually fire a powder charge.

Anyway, when these guns get stolen by guys who really don't know about guns besides "point and squeeze" they think they have a loaded gun. If they try to fire it only clicks. One gang member on a national geographic show was saying his purple bullet (snap cap) would instantly paralyze a person if they got hit anywhere on the body. Guy is probably dead by now.

Newsweek's Megan McArdle asks how many 5 year olds a crazed gunman could take...

"I'd also like us to encourage people to gang rush shooters, rather than following their instincts to hide; if we drilled it into young people that the correct thing to do is for everyone to instantly run at the guy with the gun, these sorts of mass shootings would be less deadly, because even a guy with a very powerful weapon can be brought down by 8-12 unarmed bodies piling on him at once."

If this is your viewpoint, then you believe that corporations are in fact people, with the responsibilities entailed with being a US citizen, and should in fact be liable for the consequences of their actions?

And that's about it, because ikey's "RRRRRRAAAAAAAAWRRWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRR I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG" and related ownage by others isn't even humorous any more, let alone entertaining.

yes, because the world is full of old, bold, heroes.

You first, no you first!
