Smart Guns

When are they going to come out with a Smart Gun?

We are never going to lessen gun violence in this country through legislation. It is a political non-starter. I think there is a way,however, for the marketplace to make it's own corrections. We need the introduction of a "Smart Gun". Just like the smart phone, it will revolutionize the industry because of it's popularity among consumers. It will be gun reform, not gun control.

Guns today are basically 19th century mechanical devices. They are way behind the times. They've been souped up a bit but they are still no smarter than a wrench or a hammer! My coffee maker is more sophisticated.

Smart Guns will enable entrepeneurs to write and sell apps that consumers will gobble up. Only our imaginations will limit what they will be capable of. Many of the apps that gun owners choose to download to their guns, or their networks of guns, will actually make them and us safer. 

I have plenty of ideas about what those apps might be, but I would rather hear suggestions from others before I try to influence their thoughts. So how about it, any ideas?

Your barking dog complaint in North Patchogue is handled by Public Safety, Town of Broohaven. CallRead More them at 451-6161 and they will take action. The first time the owners will be warned, the next time they will receive a summons.

Don't know what the Town ordnance is, but if you live within the Village of Patchogue, I believeRead More there is a "15 minute rule" in the code. Basically, if the dog is barking for more than 15 continuous minutes, it's a violation subject to a fine. Call public safety at 475-1225. Keep in mind it's probably not their first priority (unless the dog has a bad attitude, and is carrying a weapon), but they will be responsive, eventually.
