States Push for “Smart” Gun Legislation

! A  “Smart”  Gun  is  one  that  will  only  fire  if  the  authorized  shooter  fires  the  gun.  

! This  gun  uses  RFID  (radio  frequency  ID)  or  biometrics  to  identify  the  shooter.  

! Many  states  are  pushing  for  legislation  to  require  all  new  handguns  to  be  “Smart”  guns.  

Benefits  of  “Smart”  Guns  

! A  stolen  gun  could  not  be  fired  by  a  criminal.  

! A  young  child  could  not  fire  a  gun  and  unintentionally  injure  or  cause  their  own  fatality.    

• This  type  of  gun  uses  physicalfeatures  to  determine  who  can  fire  the  handgun.  

• These  can  include  voicerecognition,  fingerprints,  retina  scanners,  or  even  the  way  the  shooter  grips  the  gun.  

•Using  one  or  more  of  theserecognition  features,  the  safety  will  be  switched  off  and  the  shooter  allowed  to  fire  the  gun.  

Biometric  Gun  

• This  type  oftechnology  requires  the  shooter  to  wear  an  ID  chip  somewhere  on  their  body  for  the  gun  to  shoot.  

• This  type  of  chip  canbe  in  a  watch,  ring,  or  even  in  a  piece  of  clothing.    

RFID  (radio  frequency  ID)  Gun  

Still  Under  Development

• Armatrix  uses  RFIDtechnology  with  the  computer  chip  placed  inside  a  watch.
