What's wrong with the product itself? I don't see the problem when it removes the ability for your attacker to disarm you and use it against you.

Sounds great until a bunch of fascist politicians basically force you to buy it as your only choice.
Smart gun technology could set New Jersey law into motion

Yeah, it also removes your spouses (or other family members) ability to use the weapon in an emergency when they don't have access to your special ID bracelet or if they don't have the same hand print as you. This technology is extremely unproven and anyone with 2 brain cells would never trust their life to this crap.
Sounds like a problem with "fascist politicians" rather than the thing itself. Go threaten the politicians rather than the guy selling it maybe? Oh, but there would be consequences for that.
So it isn't perfect, instead of not buying it we should THREATEN HIM! Besides, no tech, especially early one, is perfect or for everyone.
My motorcycle occasionally needs servicing and I can't fit my family of 6 on it. I should threaten to blow up Harley Davidson!
People are just fueling the flames of "gun nut" hate here.

Death threats are pretty fucking stupid but being outraged at a business for making such a product isn't. I mean I'm sure just about everyone is angry at the companies that develop software and hardware for the nsa to spy on us.

I don't condone death threats in any way and whoever did it should be prosecuted.
Having said that, this "Smart Gun" crap is nothing more than a Trojan horse. It has a multitude of flaws and is completely unproven. This crap should be turned back at every opportunity. Don't think for a second that shitbags like Attorney General Eric Holder wouldn't absolutely love to have a law in place like they have in New Jersey.

Taken by itself, the technology seems like a good thing. However, you have gun control groups trying to "end run" around the 2nd amendment by mandating this shit even with all its downsides.
So yeah, the death threats are stupid and just play into 'gun nut' hate. However, the owner of the store had to know this product is seriously unpopular with most gun owners for good reason. He can't have been shocked by the upset, even if he reasonably shouldn't have expected death threats over it.

My concern is the extreme reactions on both sides of the debate just hurts each side. This is a clear example of "how not to handle the situation" I feel, and not condemning it is close to condoning it.
Just don't buy it and let natural forces take their course. I think it is a good tech for like cops and stuff, why not put it on the open market?
The issue is ignorant politicians more than the tech itself.

Holy shit I just watched the 12 minute video of this guy which is linked in the article.
This guy is a total fucking fruitloop! Less than a minute into the video he admits to drinking in his gun store. About seven minutes in he starts to advocate shooting politicians! I'd honestly have to question anything this guy claims as far as death threats.
