    Yowzers, all this gun talk is giving me a headache...
    I can't stop thinking of all the things I would buy with 900$ before I bought another gun.
    It's a pretty long list.

    It is a hobby or pastime… $1G for a Benny record? Not too far fetched...

    I watched that smart gun piece on 60 min.

    No way that'll ever work. Interesting concept though.

    If you are buying a gun for the purpose of using it on the range to test your aiming skills why not just buy an olympic style high powered air rifle? Why does it have to be some weapon that was made for the purpose of killing multiple people very quickly and efficiently?

    I have, in all candor, I am simply being judgemental about the hobby you choose. I have shot many guns, and frankly, I find it to be a juvenile pursuit with devastating consequences to society as a whole and many individual victims along the way.

    Because elephants are protected?

    Of course not, but the hobby as a whole has serious collateral damage.

    Because I'm responsible and will use it at the range. An air rifle? Why buy a car when you can buy a moped?
