Smart guns mandate dumb users?

According to Eurekalert this report claims that the new Smartgun technology works, but is it really so? According to the report there is a 90% success rate of recognizing the user, but I for one would not trust my life with a gun which would fail to work 1 out of 10 times. Another item that caught my attention was the fact that all the tests were conducted at a shooting range, which do not reflect many of the real uses of handguns. Will the device still have the same success rate after a law enforcement official has been involved in a scuffle and his hands are either dirty, sweaty, or effected somehow by the scuffle?

A law in New Jersey has already mandated that these guns be the only ones that will be able to be purchased 3 years after they first become commercially available. The report also recommends that the rest of the country adopt this legislation.

If the issue of guns being used by the wrong people either accidentially or purposly seems to drive us to such acts, I for one am appalled at the danger of buckets of water. Statistics from recent years whow that 115 young children died from falling into buckets of water and 174 children ages 0-18 years old died from being accidentially shot with a firearm per year. If we break down the statistics to only include young children ages 0-5 that would give buckets of water a death rate of still 115 since all children were young and 48.333 deaths/year to accidental firearm discharges. This proves that buckets are a real threat to our society (I mean hey, who's gonna pay for our Social Security when we get old if all our children are dead...) and I suggest we take immediate actions to prevent conventional buckets from being produced. A computer sensory recognition system needs to be added to all future buckets that will be able to detect all children around them and be able to "disarm" themselves (automatically close the lids) when children come within 50 feet of the bucket. Yes this will increase the price of buckets dramatically and decrease their usability, but for God's sake, think of the children!
