Technology isn't there yet to do much. In the future the gun could be smart, sensors could figure out the situation and make "judgements". Examples: Accelerometers could determine if user was charging or attempting to flee, they could also detect if your shooting from a moving car. Image recognition could determine if your shooting a fleeing person or an actual threat. Gyros sensors along with proximity sensors could determine if you are attempting to shoot yourself. Enough sensors and cpu power, guns could make decisions much like a human being. These won't help much because the bad guys will just have non smart guns but thats another issue.
