So “Silicon Valley luminary Ron Conway”, Mr. Big Shot investor in Google, Facebook, and Twitter, has decided to join the anti-gun debate.
“He convinced a colleague, Jim Pitkow, to join the search for high tech answers. Pitkow, a Web entrepreneur, had worked with Facebook and the Demi and Ashton Foundation, using technology to fight child sex trafficking. Pitkow and Conway rallied their networks to collectively launch the Technology Committee to Reduce Gun Violence last March.”

Funny, you eggheads have barely put a dent on the child sex trafficking problem, yet here’s what they want to do with our guns.
“Since violence has sometimes been tied to mental illness, newly developed Web apps have been designed to monitor and manage mental health conditions.”
Oh, so the mass shooters are going to log in Crazy App and do a test before they start killing people?
“People can also utilize personalized guns with fingerprint sensors that only allow authorized gun owners to operate the firearms. If those guns are stolen or borrowed, they can’t be fired.”
Right, because cyber-crime and hackers simply do not exist. Are you that stupid? And what about the cost of installing all that technology on guns that don’t have it? In fact, when Smith & Wesson was owned by the British, they capitulated to Bill Clinton and agreed to develop those fingerprint sensors, the police of course exempted themselves from them, and never mind that our friends in cold States like Alaska and Minnesota would have to take their leather gloves off to shoot their guns.Suffice to say, S&W suffered a major boycott and the company is now in American hands.
Do us a favor, Silicon Valley, go back to your gizmos and gadgets and leave our guns alone.
P.S. If your life is ever threatened, I hope your bodyguards have those smart guns you love so much. Computers crash all the time, can you imagine smart guns?

The new weapons bans proposal is having a major impact on states and more importantly, the people across the country. It is endangering our Second Amendment as well as our freedom that we uphold. It has been found in studies that it’s not the guns that are the problems or types of guns. The problem is that bad people do bad things, thus, we cannot change the mind of those that commit terrible crimes using armed weapons. As a nation, we need to deal with the people that we raise in society and not the technology we have created. Our right is to have the proper equipment to defend oneself includes magazines and ammunition. We should not fear what our country will do to us. We need to stand united for what our country was built on.
