These people think they can put a stop to mass shootings by designing a rifle that won't fire when it's in a public place. Apparently, they also think they can get people to give them money when they haven't addressed any of the obvious complications with relying on a technological solution of that nature.

It's obviously a scam directed at the firearms-ignorant gun control crowd. "Smart gun" safety systems have been widely rebuked by the pro-gunners since it,s a fail-safe system, meaning if there's an electronic problem or battery failure the gun will not fire, defeating the purpose of a ready-at-all-times self defensive weapon.

We're reading people who are sitting in the middle of a golden age of gaming where more games come out than you can possibly play who talk about how much games suck, and think that a service for downloading little indie titles is the future.

You could also break it and it's not exactly going to stop crimes with guns that already exist in the wild.

Uh, yeah, wouldn't you need a law to go into effect for this to even work in theory? (not that it would work then, but still..) Why would a criminal buy that gun when he can buy any other gun? Is it supposed to be for parents, so their kids don't take their guns and go on a rampage with them? You could just as easily solve that with a gun safe. I'm thinking it has to be a scam, especially because it's flex funding.

Speaking of such scams, it looks like the iphone cupholder indiegogo campaign has been removed. By the creator or indiegogo, I don't know, but I'm relieved to know that they didn't end up getting money from people for that.

Rumour had it he re-reged under a different name, but that's unconfirmed. Even if he did, though, people don't do that so they can be associated with the old name.

Step 1: A anime with a friend.
Step 2: A anime to keep the cold out.
Step 3: A anime too much.
Step 4: Drunk and riotous.
Step 5: The summit attained. Jolly companions, a confirmed waifu.
Step 6: Poverty and Disease.
Step 7: Forsaken by Friends
Step 8: Desperation and crime
Step 9: Death by suicide

 Having a ban on your rap sheet hurts.
