German firearms manufacturer Armatix LLC is planning to release its second smart gun in the U.S. next year after sales of its first model -- the .22 caliber iP1 -- were quashed by pressure from some gun owners and gun rights advocates who saw it as a threat to Second Amendment freedoms.
Unlike the iP1, which used RFID technology, the new iP9 9mm semi-automatic pistol will have a fingerprint reader. The iP9 will be available in mid-2017, according to Wolfgang Tweraser, CEO and president of Amratix LLC.
How long before the smart guns go all WOPR?

The supreme court disagrees with you.
They specifically stated that it is an individual, constitutional right.
Have you read the judgement? I have. It was quite a piece of detailed and specific scholarship, tighly reasoned and lavishly referenced. (I also read the dissent, which was peculiarly less well supported.)
So, in the spirit of extraordinary claims calling for extraordinary proof, I just know you're going to offer a point-for-point analysis and rebuttal to the court.
I await with bated breath.

Ok, you provided a nice calm rebuttal, probably the more effective one even. But I had more fun with mine. :)
Sometimes it is a heck of a lot of fun to just spark up the flamethrower and roast an idjit. Especially one that is a demonstrated menace to Truth, Justice and the American Way of Life like Francis.

I was going to mod you down for being a scum-sucking yellow-bellied ammosexual, but then:
I await with bated breath.
Holy Shite! You used the right "baited"! Totally impressed, but how can someone who knows the difference between "baited" and "bated" be in favor of such soon to be rebated Supreme Court decisions?

In the hopes that some will choose to self-educate, "the judgement" referred to is District of Columbia vs Heller [cornell.edu].
As an aside, I note that when the USSC "makes a decision", it has no bearing on the details of reality. Compare and contrast the above with National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius [cornell.edu] aka the Obamacare case, where the majority in effect declared "water is not wet". Sorry, boys, trying to bury a finding that the Constitution says the fedgov can levy a direct tax in proportion to the census while trying to levy a direct tax without proportion to the census is what the common people term "a lie".
With a seemingly insane USSC (further evidence: Dred Scott vs Sandford aka "black-skinned people aren't human"; Wickard vs Filburn aka "up is down"), what's a peaceable person to do? They can start by recognizing the truism that: if I can't do a given thing to another person, neither can I delegate authority for that same thing to any government - if a government person does it anyway, it is literally a criminal act equal to a mugging, kidnapping, etc.
