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?

Or the people that realize that if you're using a weapon in one of those situations, it's probably best if it didn't work.
You do realize you're literally wishing death on people trying to defend their lives, right? It's not difficult for you to imagine how - taken like this - what you said could come off as extremely hostile, right?

Yes, and they deserve to die, since they are already murderers, if the are willing and prepared to kill in a situation where they only "fear" that their pathetic lives are at risk. Now get the fuck out of here, George Zimmerman, you fucking child killer! You disgust me, as you disgust any decent human being, as you disgust God, and you even disgust Buddha, Joshua, and my cat. Cowardly excuse for a real human being. Pathetic cowardly mass of jelly carrying concealed! I hope your end is quick and merciful, NOT!
