2nd Amendment trumps free enterprise

[loinburger]

Are you arguing that private gun sales are illegal, Loin?

No. Now, once again: You appear to be arguing that it would be unconstitutional to make private gun sales illegal. Is this what you're arguing? If yes, then where in the constitution does it talk about the sale of firearms? If no, then what exactly is your problem with smart guns?

[Ben Kenobi]

No.

Then the issue is settled. Private gun sales are legal. Thank you, Loinburger.

If these things are only restricted by ownership of the accompanying watch, then how does this in any way prevent private sales anyway?

Imagine Jack and Jill going out for tacos. They stay later than planned and end up heading back to their car about midnight. In the hood. Jack gets clubbed, Jill grabs his 'smart gun' and tries to use it against the hoodlum. Click.

They never find the bodies of Jack and Jill. End of story.

Should've spent that little extra for the second bracelet. Jill is the victim of her own greed.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Dark magic! These "smart guns" are nothing but witchcraft.

Wrong, here's what happened:
Jack suddenly gets clubbed by a "hoodlum", who then grabs his gun and points it at Jill. Click. Jill runs away.

Hoodlum drops 'smart' gun, and pulls out his convenient Smith and Wesson .38 sitting in his pocket. Fires. They never find the bodies of Jack and Jill.

As opposed to buying her own gun?

Why'd he club the guy when he was carrying a gun from the beginning?

[Ben Kenobi]

Guns are noisy.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

yes... but if he's thinking rationally I don't think he's going to turn an armed robbery into a double murder.

[Ben Kenobi]

Uh, he's already had a gun pointed at him tonight. Logic suggests that he eliminates the threat.
