Telumehtar said:For instance, on police issued weapons, where the possibility of a stolen gun in a heated situation where the officer's gun could be turned on him, is probably a good place for technology like this.
Now don't get me wrong, I would never be in favor mandating these technologies on firearms, but having the option is a GOOD thing.
I agree having the option is a good thing, but most politicians have never met a stupid idea they don't want to make mandatory. What ends up happening is that some antigun politician ends up mandating it for the little people and exempting law enforcement from the requirements because they complain the technology is too prone to fail.
Look at the New Jersey "smart gun" law (where if the chip fails the gun will not fire), or the ammunition microstamping bills introduced in several states over the past few years.
