18. I would not oppose it in that case

I have no ideological issue with such a device. I just don't think that technology is at that point yet- nor do I think it will ever be at that point with our "modern" firearms. It's just the logic of trying to control a purely mechanical device with an electronic device.

Now if this technology was on a ray gun- that would be a different story.
