Wireless Controller Disables Guns Remotely

Wednesday, 22 May 2013 | by Pat's Picks

A Silicon Valley startup has brought an interesting new dimension to the gun control debate, unveiling technology yesterday that will allow gun owners to know when their weapons have been moved and disable them remotely. The San Jose Mercury News says an alarm would trigger on the owner’s cell phone when their firearm changes location, prompting them to take action. The NRA is, obviously, not a fan of the “smart gun” technology, saying that “a firearm that does not function when it is required to is not a smart gun.”
