aka guns with ridiculous overengineered 'safety devices' that keep others from using your gun 'against you'. How fucking stupid is that?
Oh My God, this guy is a first class IDIOT. Safer guns? Guns that won't fire, if you're injured and your squad mate has to grab your rifle and continue the fight against a hostile enemy? The armory is gonna have a brain hemorrhage if they can't just ISSUE guns out to soldiers in the fastest most efficient manner with this 'new' tech hampering them.

But in President Obama’s first foray into small-arms procurement for the armed forces, his Jan. 4 executive order on gun control directs the Pentagon to find ways to make not so much more lethal firearms, but safer ones.
His direct order has brought a few snickers among retired combatants who argue that the commander in chief is issuing his directive at a time of more pressing small-arms priorities. The military, critics say, fields a flawed personal rifle and has spent more than a decade selecting a new off-the-shelf pistol, with no winner yet.With that White House history, Mr. Scales said, “I had to laugh” at Mr. Obama’s priority — smart guns.
“Presidential involvement in small arms has been strategic and game-changing in our history,” said Mr. Scales, a former commandant of the U.S. Army War College. “Obama comes along and tells the Army that, in this administration, money is going into small arms to build — not a deadly weapon, not an effective weapon, not a dominant weapon, not a lifesaving weapon, not a technological cutting-edge weapon — but a weapon that prevents accidental discharge. Give me a break.”
