Gun Safety Fingerprint Sensor Aims To Prevent Tragic Accidents

[PCBjon]

Giving the amount of kids shooting themselves or other people with mommy's or daddy's tryanny ready loaded gun I have to admit it is a step in the somewhat right direction. I wonder how well it works though?

 

 

This is where the Veri-Fire Guardian comes in, it's a clip-on fingerprint reader that will physically covers the trigger until the right person's fingerprint is recognised.

Mommy and Daddy should be responsible parents and store their firearms in a locked locker. The people who really need this won't buy this.

Or perhaps just not own a gun unless they really need it?

Although, if they do need/want one, storing it in a safe location would be best.

That would work too. I'd own a gun for self-defense personally, and I understand the argument that comes with that, but at the end of the day the police can't be there in a split second.

This needs to be mandatory. The people that need it won't buy it willingly.

Wasn't something like this made by a kid a few months back? I vaguely recall something posted on this site about it...

 

also, I do not want something that enables an EMP to make my gun unusable...

 

I'd rather keep the gun's firing pin off or keep it in a childproof quick-access box...

 

(I currently do not own a gun but am planning to get a .22 pistol for sport shooting/home defense)

This is definitely great if it was applied in shooting ranges, but it would be rendered useless if the sensor gets broken or the sensor itself can't read the finger print fast enough during quickdraws while in self defense.

 

Plus this wouldn't be a problem if the parents are responsible enough to teach their children to specifically use it to protect and not to harm

I think firearms and ammo should be store in separate locations in the house for further saftey.

[Misanthrope]

It seems good at first however

 

1) fingerprint sensors are not magical, super fast or 100% accurate all of the time

2) Existing guns or illegal guns probably won't have them

 

If you combine this, you'll end up with a defective gun that almost always will but may not shoot when you need it most vs your aggressor with a non-fingerprint gun that has enough time to put a lot of ventilation holes in your organs while you cursed at the split second it took your fancy fingerprint scanner to correctly detect your finger and let you fire.

this is stupid.

if a guy has this on his gun and is trying to kill me.

if i dis arm him, i can't use it on him lmao

 

 

only cops need this, and it should have the cop Database in the gun.

why would you use it on him. You disarmed him meaning he can't shoot you.

I disagree.

Guns are a stupid thing to allow a normal idiot civilian to have in most cases, but a finger print reader won't help. 

For something like armed forces a finger print  reader adding even the tiniest of delays can be deadly and finger print sensors aren't reliable enough.

 

Why not outlaw guns so that you need special permits if you want one.... But that debate has been going on for ages now...

I agree with you but Americans are gun crazy and won't allow anyone to regulate them. (As for armed forces I think they should be a thing in the past except on native soil)

i could point it at him.....so he doesn't try anything.......

 

basically a criminal with a gun onnly the crimnial can use is dumb

You can still point it at him. Sure he knows you can't shoot but would you really shoot anyway?

probably not.

[zMeul]

utter crap

• it's electronics, electronics fail
• fingerprints .. lol; fingerprint readers are quite dumb and easily fooled
• tough luck grabbing your pistol and fire it at the assailant as fast as possible - goodbye training
• your hand is covered in blood - good luck with the fingerprint reader; maybe use it as brick

get a fooking safe!

get a pistol with a heavy trigger pull that can't be used by children, if you toss your firearms around like socks

False, that is a rash generalization. There problem is people are just riding waves rather than coming up with a system that works. The problem mainly stems from firearms not having consistent laws across each state.There should be certain federal requirements like proper background checks/people mental and criminal history should not be able to get them. Gun show firearm purchases should require an already establish firearm history that you can check before giving one. All weapons should have to be registered in each state (some states don't have firearm registration). Little things like that would go a long way, without hindering law-abiding citizens much.

 

And like zMeul said get a heavy trigger on your firearms, keep them in a damn safe, that even in a case of emergency you can get to it quickly enough. Don't keep it loaded but have loaded mags close by..in case of an emergency. I love guns I plan to be an avid collector but I'm not crazy about them.

 

Edit: Also the NRA sees any kind of legislature as a problem, they are a business and they don't want to lose money. Also people don't really think and research themselves they just listen to all the propaganda and misinformation that is spread.

Why not just get rid of publicly available guns, gun stores. Like they did in Australia. 

[marldorthegreat]

Or just get rid of private guns completely.

or guns period.

Gun safe and trigger locks bb

[marldorthegreat]

Only for the military and maybe certain gun license holders. Look at the uk.

What's that? A common sense, logical argument that advocates education and responsibility over restriction and fear mongering?

 

.......Where the hell am I?

Because that's at all possible.

 

Good luck with all that.
