Smart gun technologies making weapons more accurate - and more deadly


The marriage of technology and weaponry is creating a growing but expensive class of “smart” guns that promises to boost security, improve accuracy -- and make guns even deadlier. But even gun-rights advocates aren't sure that's such a good thing.
"Are there any legitimate gun owners who are calling for this technology for safety? I haven't heard of one," said Jim Wallace, exectuvie director of the Massachusetts Gun Owners Action League, in a recent interview.
One example is a newly unveiled “super gun” from Tracking Point that emulates the target-locking technology from jets to turn any rifle into an ultra-accurate sniper gun capable of consistently hitting a target from 1.75 miles away.
