TrackingPoint: Passwords are Optional, “Opt In”

I had a chance to sit down (well, lean against a wall actually) with the incoming CEO of TrackingPoint to discuss the small kerfuffle that erupted after it was announced that their scopes would come with password protection built in. According to the man in charge, it was an option added to assuage the fears of those who believe the technology might fall into the “wrong hands,” and allow some control over the advanced features. The gun will work properly when “locked,” as in be able to fire and even use the scope, but without the tagging capability. As for being enabled from the factory, the word is that the passwords will NOT be enabled by default and will require the end user to enable them before they are functional. Kind of like how computers come from the factory these days, with optional passwords.

  1. Wayne appears to ignore the media’s crap better than most, but I will say that he is very uninspiring and underwhelming. He does sort of come off sometimes as the confused old guy that the media believes us all to be. I would start putting Colin Noir “up front” more. It would be funny just to see how the media would try to attack him for being a racist or supporting the Second Amendment that they believe is an artifact of slavery. If they want to throw racism at us, we need show that race has nothing to do with our right to bear arms.

  2. Cris Cox would be a great replacement, He is a gifted speaker. His speech was by far the best and most importantly, the most concise. and so was last years….and the year before that. Thats the kinda stuff we need.

  3. Let’s find strong intelligent people, several faces. Guided by Wisdom of the current powers. How about some Hispanics, black women, and white women. And, Colion Noir.

  4. The best time to shoot a turd like that is when he is down. Shoot him until you run out of rounds. Then reload and shoot him again.

  5. Adam Kokesh undoubtedly has the balls to follow through with this commitment. Participating in this would probably spell the end of my ability to practice law, but this is exactly what the fight for liberty needs. Sitting on the sidelines and begging a corrupt government to let us be free is both futile and pathetic. Appealing to democracy, which is nothing more than tyranny by majority (or plurality as it is) is equally as laughable if you truly believe each individual is sovereign in his right to life, liberty, and property. The plurality has never trended towards liberty, but rather oppression of minority interests. Those who value liberty wish to live without coercion, and the time has come to stand and declare that we will be coerced no more. Dan’s tone is critical, but what does he propose; sit and take it, try to convince a plurality of voters that limited government is the best path, beg dictators for freedom, or declare your independence and live as a free man?
