    With all the news recently on mass shootings and myself being an avid outdoorsmen/hunter but also a technology freak I thought why not try to address the issue and not have a solution that takes guns away…

    With the additional USB ports, I would attach 2 external hard drives and mirror them to create a RAID 0 storage device

    With all the news recently on mass shootings and myself being an avid outdoorsmen/hunter but also a technology freak I thought why not try to address the issue and not have  a solution that takes guns away.  I know this might not sit well with people but hey will still post it. What I would use the Raspberry Pi for is as a base station that would for say go in a school/public area. The Raspberry Pi will send out signals at a fixed distance.  The weapons would have to be modified but would essentially have a small microcontroller that looks for the general signal and when detected would not allow the gun to come off safety which would stop the weapon from being fired.  If the base station(Raspberry Pi) detected something it would send a response to local authorities.  I think it should also be smart enough to detect who the weapon belongs to.  Just and idea.  Would like to hear others thoughts.
