Daniel G. J.\u00a0<\/strong> The U.S. government is developing new firearm nanotechnology that can track, disrupt, and even self-destruct firearms.<\/p>\n The technological system, known as a\u00a0micro-electromechanical system\u00a0(MEMS<\/a>), \u00a0utilizes\u00a0tiny devices that are implanted in guns and other weapons. These devices are more than chips; they are actual\u00a0mechanical processes created by precision engineering that can affect the weapon\u2019s operations<\/strong>. Media\u00a0reports reveal<\/a>\u00a0the devices include\u00a0miniature GPS systems designed to make guns easier to track and self-destruct systems<\/strong>\u00a0that could cause them to\u00a0explode if they receive a wireless signal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The technology coincides with the\u00a0\u2018smart gun\u2019 technology<\/a>\u00a0Anthony Gucciardi has broken down in the past, which can be used to \u2018turn off\u2019 weapons when in gun free zones or whenever designated by government.<\/p>\n Other capabilities being developed include software that could interfere with the operation of targeting systems. This could include laser sights that couldn\u2019t lock onto a person in uniform. Another possibility is targeting systems or sights that simply stop working after a certain date or shut down if they receive a wireless signal.<\/p>\n GUNS THAT SELF-DESTRUCT<\/strong><\/p>\n The scary thing is that MEMS is being\u00a0developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)<\/strong>, the Pentagon\u2019s\u00a0science division<\/a>. The idea is that this technology will be used in weapons given to questionable allies such as the Syrian rebels, who\u00a0Obama is currently funding<\/a>\u00a0with weapons and other resources.<\/p>\n DARPA actually has a program\u00a0to develop<\/a>\u00a0what it calls \u2018Vanishing Programmable Resources\u2019; in other words, weapons that will self-destruct. The idea here is to make weapons that can be ordered to self-destruct if they fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HIGH TECH GUN CONTROL<\/strong><\/p>\n The scary thing is that this technology is emerging right now, and it isn\u2019t hard to imagine law enforcement or gun control zealots demanding\u00a0that such technologies be built into all guns sold to the public<\/strong>.\u00a0That way somebody could just push a button somewhere and thousands of guns could simply explode, or the targeting systems could stop working. They could also mandate that all guns contain a tiny transmitter that would make it easy for law enforcement to track down.<\/p>\n This technology isn\u2019t a fantasy; weapons expert Chris Harmer told\u00a0Bloomberg Businessweek<\/a>\u00a0that MEMS capabilities will be built into U.S. weapons within three to five years. Businessweek also reported that the market for MEMS will soon be around $1.1 billion.<\/p>\n Within a few years the federal government and others could have the capability to control guns without banning them. That will mean a huge market for older guns built before this technology became available.<\/p>\n This post originally appeared at Story Leak<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This article was posted: Sunday, August 11, 2013 at 4:20 am<\/p>\n Tags: big brother<\/a>, gun rights<\/a><\/p>\n
