'Smart Gun' Firm Wants You To Fund Its Prototype 558
Lucas123 writes "After striking out at getting private investors to fund a new prototype, Safe Gun Technology (SGTi) is hoping it can generate $50,000 through a crowdfunding effort to build an assault-style rifle with fingerprint biometrics technology. Handgun and shotgun prototypes would follow shortly thereafter, the company said. SGTi, which is using the Indiegogo crowdfunding site for its Fund Safe Guns campaign, has so far raised just over $1,600. Several companies are working on developing smart gun technology, which can identify an authorized user through fingerprint, handgrip or RFID recognition techniques. Last week, a Massachusetts congressman submitted a bill that would require all U.S. handgun manufacturers to include smart gun technology in their weapons." I'm looking forward to the best car analogy that anyone can come up with on this topic.

I don't want a safe hammer that doesn't kill people, I just want a smart hammer that won't crush my fingers.

There's no reason for any civilian to have more than 9 rounds in a firearm.
Not 8, not 10, but nine, right? Please explain how you've arrived at that number. Be specific.
