Adventures in Smartness, Assassin's Edition

  The HN title (currently "Smart gun: can be fired only by an authorized person, such as the legal owner") does not describe the subject of the article, which is actually interesting, but in a different way.

    Thank you. We changed it. Submitters: please follow the HN guidelines and do not editorialize titles.

      I don't think the submitter editorialized; I think he/she didn't even read the article -- or else deliberately mischaracterized it -- but more likely the former, I'd guess.

  I second the statement that the HN link is mistitled. As for the article itself, I can't see what the writer is complaining about. Even granted that he's a lefty gun-grabber, what does he have against technology that improves marksmanship? If you're terrified of the thought of ordinary people using rifles, shouldn't you be happy that the machine is being made more "foolproof"?
