I think there are going to be technological problems with
this. Given that the firing mechanism is a simple mechanical device,
it should be fairly easy to defeat a fancy lock. In fact, I bet that
I could do it so that I could claim that it was "broken", rather than
intentionally defeated.
Also, what is to stop me from putting my gun inside an aluminum
foil Faraday cage, to block out the (presumably radio) signals of the
jammers? I might have to patch it up after each shot, but I should be
able to shield a gun from the signals which instruct it not to work.
An interesting idea, nonetheless.
