SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) – A high-tech startup is wading into the gun control debate with a wireless controller that would allow gun owners to know when their weapon is being moved and disable it remotely.
The technology, but not an actual gun, was demonstrated Tuesday at a wireless technology conference in Las Vegas and was shown to The Associated Press in advance. It comes at a time when lawmakers around the U.S. are considering contentious smart gun laws that would require new guns to include high-tech devices that limit who can fire them.
