When are we getting these:

Or do we already? I saw something like it on FutureWeapons. Smartguns.
Or something like what they had in that movie "Shoot 'Em Up" where it identified the gun's owner. No comments about that movie now.
Granted, it'd have to work *all* the time, with *no* delay, but still. I'd love the comfort of knowing that my gun only works for identified users. Better than a child lock, and when I'm open carrying I have the piece of mind that if someone takes my gun I can safely begin kicking them where the sun don't shine and take my gun back while they try to figure out why it doesn't go "bang".
and before you say "Well what if you're in a situation where one of your friends has to use your gun?"
A) They're probably already a recognized user
B) That's a pretty lousy situation if they have to use *my* gun
C) A lot of my friends already have their own guns
And I know someone is going to throw in "I don't want those to exist because then the government will *require* them to be on all guns when some moron Democrat decides they're the best thing since sliced bread or serial-stamped bullets". Again, yes, that'd suck, especially if the device doesn't always work.
