Smart guns are a neat idea on paper. They'll never survive reality

Dude, your ignorance of guns is amazing.

Clearly you've never hunted.

Depending on what you hunt... where you hunt... caliber, distance and shot placement... you may not kill the animal right off. You may have to put a second shot. And lets see. Do you spend $1.50 using a high powered rifle round or do you pull out your 9mm and spend ~.25-.30 cents or less (FMJ 115gr) YMMV, cheaper if you reload. (Or you could use a .22lr too)

There's more, and yes, hunters carry pistols.

Oh and some actually hunt with pistols too. ;-)

As to firing quickly and accurately.. yes you can do both. However that takes a lot of practice with a pistol.

Even with a rifle. One time I had to get out of a deer stand and stalk a coyote who was in the field with the cattle. I had a split second shot at 125yrds in a low light condition. So speaking from experience... yes, split second shots done accurately. (BTW, some shooting ranges have controlled targets that will expose themselves and hide (turn 90 degrees sideways) for periods of time.

I won't even get in to how silly you sound about NJ.

Again please... go get some education about guns and gun safety.
