Over on Huffpo, a new poster showed up suggesting that Biometrics are the wave of the future for gun safety and that it was his belief that more research should go into developing the technology. All said in a nice moderate, 'reasonable' tone.
That is until people started questioning him.
At first he replied w/ the standards as set down by CA in their bill mandating biometrics. It was noted that the police/authorities are exempt from the requirements and that simple problems like having dirty hands or wearing gloves are a significant issue.
This was responded to by stating that several police chiefs supported the legislation and that all the rest were just 'red herrings'. When asked who were they mayors of these politically appointed individuals, the reply was "who cares, the police are highly trained individuals. Why should they be held to the same standards as you".
It just sort of devolved from there as the insults and personal attacks became his reply of choice. Such terms as 'unfettered access', 50mm machine guns, "unable to look at the big picture", etc. appeared in his posts. Basically "Why won't you gun nuts just accept this without question?"
But then came the real clincher that the poster was not all he appeared. An unsourced list of 'facts' to show that biometrics would solve global warming and bring peace in the Middle East. Since Google is my friend, it didn't take long to find the source of this cutnpaste. A "Fact Sheet" put out by the Brady Campaign. The footnotes reading like a who's who of Joyce Foundation gun control reports. Hemenway, Cook, Kellerman, et al.
So the poster revealed himself ,not as an advocate of real measures to reduce violence or accidents, but as another just another gun grabber who had problems buttoning his newly bought camo. I wonder if he knows Macca?

The problem with gun banners is that they have no credible sources to substantiate their claims, other than regurgitated "facts" sheets from the VPC or BC.
The problem for us is that there are still a lot of sheep in our society who believe it.
Police are highly trained individuals?
That's good. Real good.
Was it you, or War on Guns that wrote about the SF Police Captain that was *too* busy for her monthly gun certifications?
Bio Metrics. Un familiar with the exact details but the question comes to mind of a relative with Chronic Psoriasis. What guarantee will a person with that is clinically un-curable with that medical condition have that biometricaly equipped firearm will be usable in a defensive situation? I quick google on finger print recognition says it can be affected by the ailment. Just something for thought.
That's right, lie on your back, spread your legs and do EVERYTHING the nice policeman TELLS you to do...
Wow... That guy is a serious moonbat...
Now the same guy is trying to argue that handguns are NOT banned in Britain.
