President Obama to release "smart gun" statement

[Reba]

". . . President Obama is set to release findings on the technology from a multi-agency review, and White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett was previewing the material to a select set of groups on Thursday.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed to reporters that the administration would be making an announcement on Friday, without going into detail...."

I'll bet you whatever happens - the security protecting the person currently impersonating a President of the United States won't be required to carry "smart guns" - they (and probably law enforcement in general) will be exempted from such requirements due to "officer safety".

Is it even legal for a "moron" and the term "smart" to be in the same sentence?

Use of President Nobamas name and the word smart in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

As a test, they should be issued to his SS agents.

OK someone give me the low down on the "smart gun" technology they want to push. I have a feeling it's a way for them to register and track guns.

There is no such thing as a "smart" gun. It is only as smart as the person pulling the trigger.

Good for Obammy! I hope his secret service detail enjoys them!

As for me, I prefer my guns just the way they are, thank you!

Ah.... yeah.. Nice but I won't own any gun with circuitry and delicate boards...

It has its applications but for now, it's just long range, military stuff.
