Most of us aren't opposed to this technology existing; the problem is that New Jersey law will require all handguns sold there to incorporate this technology shortly after they're available for sale anywhere in the US. We're also concerned other jurisdictions will try to mandate this tech once it's more widely available.
The iP1, in particular, is also weird simply because it doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It's not a defensive handgun, the caliber is totally inadequate. But barely anybody uses a compact pistol like this for recreation.
Basic fire arms etiquette is to treat any firearm as loaded and ready to fire unless it's been explicitly cleared.
If you do not use guns for self defense then keeping them clear and keeping ammo separate is much easier and safer.
Any type of safety can fail and relying on it is just how you get some of these accidents.
