Here's The Problem With Smart Guns

About this video

Colion examines the development of ‘smart gun’ technology featuring fingerprint readers, PIN pads, and Bluetooth locking mechanisms. He argues that while he supports technological innovation, he opposes government mandates forcing consumers to buy smart guns. Colion contends that smart guns won’t effectively prevent the problems advocates claim (citing his interpretation of unintentional death statistics and hacking vulnerabilities), and he warns that the technology could give government or corporations unwanted control over firearms.

Key takeaways

• Colion supports voluntary smart gun development but strongly opposes mandatory adoption through government regulation
• According to Colion’s analysis, smart guns would only potentially prevent a small fraction of unintentional gun deaths (which he calculates as about 145 per year), problems he believes are better solved through training and safe storage
• Colion argues smart guns present security vulnerabilities to hacking and could enable government or corporate control over firearm function, which he views as contrary to Second Amendment principles
