Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
“It hurts my heart,” the 58-year-old gun designer said. “It’s life. It’s the lives of people who never thought they’d get killed by a gun. You have a nice family at home, and then you get killed. It’s crazy.”
Ernst Mauch is designing & building the Smart Gun to keep us safe…which he immediately demonstrates by pointing the gun at the photographer.

Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

… while wearing the watch that enables the ‘smart’ gun!
Dieser verdammte Dummschwätzer!
The company “armatix” is bribing and working with politicians so their products are actually part of the german gun law (they started with a shitty product to deactivate guns by non-permanently blocking the barrel).
No one wants their “Smart Gun” and no one wanted this blocking device – so they crawled into every third-class-liberals ass here in germany.
And they lied about their products and sued everyone who dared to disagree. Liars and lawyers – why use these peaple the same means all around the world?
Do not forget that Armatix applied for a patent on software-controlled EMP technology that employs satellites for deployment, and made it available to law enforcement and government agencies worldwide. It is specifically designed to defeat the magnetic keys and default the targeted guns to “off”.
Aside from the 10% malfunction rate, this fact alone makes the product a FAIL.
Wait, what? How is that supposed to work?
I don’t know what goes through this guy’s head.
Is he totally delusional / naive ? Is he just another statist (we have many of them in Europe) ?
There’s a not-so-uncommon view even among gun owners in Europe that “only the right people should have guns”.
Either because they fail to understand what citizen ownership of firearms is all about. Or because they somewhat feel superior because they went through a pile of incoherent paperwork/vexatious licensing process. As if it gave them some credentials or legitimacy.
The “gunz-are-evil” BS has worked really well in Europe over the last 30 or 40 years. Even gun owners fall for the usual stereotypes pushed by anti-gunners.
Everytown’s BS gets literally copy/pasted in our newspapers here in Europe every now and then when the local journo doesn’t spew his own hate speech.
I love the whole idea that because he helped to design a gas piston AR (with technology other people had already spent a good 30 years inventing for him) he’s somehow qualified to design a completely new system, using electrical rather than mechanical parts. It’s like they honestly think we still live in the era of DaVinci.
Since it’s HK, I imagine the civilian version won’t come with the scary black watch and will instead require you carry a bright white briefcase with an enormous comedy HK logo on it. And it will be reliable due to sending the wireless signal by tossing it out of a G3 action.
Sigh… Really??? What planet does he live on???
So the Jew hating Washington Post is advising us to take self defense suggestions from a German?
I feel somewhat vindicated that most of the comments confirm the same problems that I saw when looking at the specs for this gun and at the other products that this company claims to have.
Now, I can not find any reason why a person would buy this gun.
If it was cheap enough, it would be the ideal gun to buy and store so that if government ever comes to your door to confiscate your guns, you could turn in this one to prove that you were a good progressive liberal and destroyed all of your “not smart” weapons.
