Gun Control & RKBA

I have a 2001 diesel truck. Not only do my daughter's gear head regularly ask me if my truck is for sale, but so do some complete strangers at stop lights and parking lots. Why? Reason is always around less electronics and gadgets and secondarily stouter materials. Less to go wrong. Easier to work on. Simpler.

My wife had a co-worker who would pre-order a new car every couple of years with NO unnecessary electronics. She even said manual windows, but I don't know if they even had new parts to make a new car that way even several years ago when this was going on.

Now if you need your vehicle and some electronics go out it's a bad thing. Now if you need your gun and some electronics go out, it's probably a much worse thing and much more immediate bad outcome.


Finally, if the govt has pushed hard to build in govt backdoors to encryption and other 'secure' devices, I'm sure that they'll push for a way to disable electronically based guns too. That's a bigger question for civil libertarians.
