you can't just electronically control a device that is almost purely mechanical by inserting one electronic piece in it and expect it to be "secure". All that is required to defeat the device would be simple removal, which is especially easy on todays weapons. The problem with this technology is it forgets that a gun has no electronic parts to it. It's all mechanical. The only way it theoretically work would be if you made a gun thats firing mechanism was mostly electronic- which would add weight and complexity to the weapon that is not needed.

One has to wonder why if this technology is so great, why aren't police departments and military looking to employ it? They are the ones who stand the most to benefit from it. Every piece of legislation I see exempts them so I have to wonder why. The most likely explanation is that the technology just simply isn't reliable be enough. If that is the case, why should civilians be forced to own weapons less reliable than the police? What happens when a gun owner gets injured because his weapon wouldn't fire? Does he get to sue?- surely there would be lawsuits on this.
