The whole "Smart Gun" thing is just one more small twig the control fans think they can use to beat gun owners over the head.

They seem to think they are soooo very, very clever to find these things and use them to try and shame gun owners here and elsewhere.

I particularly like how, after bashing the NRA for weeks on end, they use the NRA's supposed support as added credibility.

(Still waiting to find out how, with a private membership list, they somehow polled NRA members to get their opinions on this or anything else?)

"Smart Guns" are a solution to primarily a law enforcement concern in search of a civilian problem. Any time the control guys think they can force gun owners to do anything, it's always a big hit with them. Because it bodes for future laws and con trols they think might pass.
