Not if stupid sh!t like this is the best these cloistered eggheads can come up with. Interesting, he doesn't say how many people he's willing to kill to impose these intolerable acts, or what he proposes to do about it if we don't go gentle into that good night [More]
And just to show how leading edge this technology geek isn't, I and a few others have been warning against this kind of nonsense for more than a decade.

"What if a gun could refuse to fire if something 'felt wrong' about how it was being used?"
Um, excuse me, Jeff Johnson, I've heard of 'Smart Guns' but tell me how they acquire emotions, too?
I certainly don't any THING to have feelings.
"Of course, applying our digital technology expertise to the problem of gun violence does not preclude us from also engaging as citizens in debate and political action."
Not a single one of his so called "seed" ideas addressed "gun violence" in any way. Every "idea" he had related to the functionality of a gun. He seems to have missed the fact that violence is a human attribute; the gun is just a tool.
Author Jeff Johnson already unknowingly answered his own question - "He is the author of GUI Bloopers, GUI Bloopers 2.0, Web Bloopers..."
Bloopers in the command and control of weapons cannot be a good thing.
Anything that can fail because of a real possibility of a dead battery is not something that I want to rely on in an emergency.
