24. I understood MrBenchley's post completely
I don't care if the technology becomes AVAILABLE as an option for civilians, the police, or anyone to use. The problem is that misguided governments, like the New Jersey state legislature, want to make it MANDATORY for all civilian guns once it's available.

Choice is good. Lack of choice is bad.

My ability to unlock my car isn't affected by anything. It opens with a key....

So does mine. Radiation from radar systems inhibits the remote opening device, but it doesn't prevent me from using the key that I always carry.

(I have just never felt any need to disturb the peace by making my car make whooping noises audible to anyone unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity just so that I don't have to put a key in a lock.)

Are you assuming that everyone who has a remote opening device disturbs the peace by making whooping noises? FYI my SUV makes no sounds other than a "thunk" when the doorlocks are engaged or disengaged.

Now, the phone jammer, that's something I want.

Word.
