thread_title: New Jersey Institute of Technology

message: I think we need a section on the politics, why people call for smart guns, what's involved, from both pro and con viewpoints, in a neutral voice. Also need a section on places instituting smart gun laws. I believe New Jersey and California have both enacted laws, but are not enforced yet, as the technology has not advanced enough. If someone else is conversant in this, please step up and add it. If not, eventually I'll probably get around to it. 
Thanks!

message: The following criticism:
Many firearm enthusiasts object to smart guns on a philosophical and regulatory basis as well as a technological basis. Gun ownership advocate Kenneth W. Royce, writing under the pen name of "Boston T. Party", wrote that "no defensive firearm should ever rely upon any technology more advanced than Newtonian physics. That includes batteries, radio links, encryption, scanning devices and microcomputers. Even if a particular system could be 99.9% reliable, that means it is expected to fail once every 1000 operations. That is not reliable enough. My life deserves more certainty".
isn't really valid--it's a highly emotional argument. Modern guns often rely on technology significantly more advanced than Newtonian physics, including fluid dynamics. As far as reliability is concerned, embedded electronic systems can be expected to achieve 99.999% reliability before deployment. A gun would be thousands of times more likely to jam than to have such a system fail. I'm not sure if such criticisms should be included on Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.128.140.233 (talk) 15:42, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

message: The "We have some very, very serious questions." part of the quote in the "Views within Law Enforcement" section is not in the source material (the rest of the quote is). I'd like to propose that portion of the quote be removed under WP:V but am not removing it personally at this time due to WP:COI.

message: History of development is needed in the article. First smart gun was a revolver with a magnet in its grip from about 50 years ago.
In 1997 colt developed a prototype of a smart gun. smith&wesson started development during clinton administration. Ernst Mauch joined the field. He led the development of Armatix iP1 in 2006 - first smart gun ever on the market (?). Saf T Lok gun locks. Biofire Technologies. iGun shotgun. World's first biohacked smart gun, finished in 2016/2017, by Amal Graafstra. Setenzatsu.2 (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
