I hate it when you take a screenshot of the movie instead of embedding it.. It gets my hopes up all the time as work blocks YouTube :(

Wegmans

He's concerned about people thinking he is the Anti-Christ...I would expect more people think he's a nut-job.

kwicherbichin

This kinda like what they do to live-stock now a days.

MadCrazy

Would the Anti-Christ be honest about something like that?

Just something to think about.

strider_mt2k

does this mean the world is coming to an end soon?

weak_pig

needles scare me..specially this super huge one!! but thats a cool DIY.

FullyShadow

Why doesn't he show opening the safe?

mruler360

having it open the safe to the gun is a good idea. this way no one else can get to it.

I love the headline. Rife with irony.

That's pretty badass. 20 years from now we're going to be commenting on Engadget (BURN), saying "I remember back when that kid put that vet chip in his hand. Now everybody's got the implant..."

or maybe they'll be saying "remember when the antichrist first revealed himself in that youtube video?"

sorry for the engadget burn, btw... couldn't resist :)

I tried to think of an informative or insightful comment but I have to go with my gut on this one.
What an a$$hole.

@Wegmans: Just a thought for you, I work at a hospital, and their Internet blocking software only blocks IE, and most staff do not have admin access to install anything else, but I use portable firefox and it gets past everything that is blocked on IE. Give it a try, unless the IT staff at your office are a bit smarter than the average bear.

@JohnDeere: or his kids will cut off his arm when he's sleeping and take it over to the safe to open it that way! ah-ha! Kids are so smart these days ha

Der182

@Kaiser-Machead's WALL-E n' Cookie references: Luckily, the "His" had to be capitalized anyway. Automatic irony!

John Herrman

thats cool. i could see lots of uses for it. and if he has kids in the house with that gunsafe this seems extra safe as he can lock the keys and/or combination in the safe also and only have access himself.

JohnDeere

ooooouuuuuucccccchhhhh!!!!!!!!
!@####$%%%^&&&*!!!!!!!!!!

@Curves: I have got to agree with you. This guy's an asshole and a few other colorful expletives I can think of. I have issues with gun ownership (not the least of which being that's NOT what the second amendment says or intended) but guns in the house when you have kids is particularly stupid.

rsquared

Y'know, he's got a really good idea though. If the only person who can open the gun safe is the adult in the house, thats the safest gun anywhere, at the moment. Especially if its embedded in his skin. No pesky kid can steal his dad's keys to show off to his friends.

I think maybe this should be required for gun owners with children!

@stryder100: ya,ummm if i snap and dont have a gun, im thinking a kitchen knife or even a spoon would get the job done. maybe we should all live in little cells with padded walls that way we would all be safe.

@MrBlahBlah:
Unless they cut your arm of or force you to open the safe :P

Three_Part_Bandit

@Crescent: Amen brotha.

RE-L

I think this is kinda cool. But it's still not safe to have guns in the house. What if the Archangel Michael wakes him up in the middle of the night and tells him it's RAPTURE TIME and to shoot his family. My point is - everyone is unstable at some point in their lives, so it's dangerous to have a gun in the house, period. Particularly someone who is willing to implant RFID chips in themselves and believes in Revelations the rapture.

stryder100

@Oranges w/ Cheese: agreed. it should be a requirement for all gun owners that have kids.

JohnDeere

@rsquared: it is stupid. unless hes the only person in the world who can open his safe. which he probably is, an that makes him a good parent. not only can he protect his kids from home invasions, he doesnt have to worry about them getting in his safe.

JohnDeere

@GudWriter: Yeah, ultimate DRM. Your injectable tag, iPod and armband... you're all set!

@strider_mt2k: He may actually be Loki and not the Anti-Christ, it's more believable...but wait, can you believe the God of Lies?!?!?!

maven2k

aah, Christians and bloodlust, always hand in hand throughout history.

Crescent

ummmmm

Other than the nerd-chic appeal, I can't think of a good reason to do this. If you really need that kind of access, why not build the freaking thing into a ring, a wristwatch or some other easily worn accoutrement. Having something inserted into my body so I can log in easier is flat out dumb.

johncon3

@MadCrazy: Cows are the antichrist.

Luizzle

@johncon3: For most things, ya, but for the gun safe, this is a pretty sweet idea. A kid can easily figure out your ring is what opens the safe and then take the ring.

Yes, I realize the kid could cut your hand off, but if that's a concern for you, you've got much bigger problems...

@Crescent: Are you not entertained? Is that not why we are here??

That's a fantastic idea! Thanks so much, i'll try it out!

@JohnDeere: Ban Hammers! Mandatory registration for all cooking implements! Only the police should have access to fire!

ElijahDProphet

@Oranges w/ Cheese: Yeah, great idea except that RFID is NOT secure. I would bet that my kids will be able to crack RFID by the time they are 12...
@JohnDeere: or better yet! Why not require EVERYONE to be chipped? Want to drive a car? Gotta have your chip. Want to fly? Want to get paid? Want to withdraw money? Let's scan your chip!

It's REALLY SCARY how people nowdays seem to embrace/welcome tyranny.

@rsquared:

The Supreme Court would seem to disagree with your uneducated assertion that the 2nd isn't about private gun ownership...

@MadCrazy: Cows have gun safes?

christian warrior eh? i guess if i'm robbing his house i'm chopping off his hand first...

kaiban

@gkoinm: im not implying that i want to be chipped. there are other methods that will get the same results. retina scans or fingerprints probably even some kind of dna scan.

JohnDeere

Lets see it in action!

givemeyourtots

@rsquared: I didnt mean the guns, he can own an arsenal for all I care. He is a wanktard for having an chip implanted when he could have easily put the chip in a ring, bracelet, etc. He deserves the infection he gets as well as the MANY hardward upgrades that I hope hurt a lot. Some people will do anything for internet fame.

As for the kids and guns, kids only sneak into things they arent allowed in or are curious about. Any responsible person who has guns in their house should show them to the children, safely let them handle them (kids are super tactile/very curious) and educate the children on firearms so they know its a danger and why they should leave them alone. Thats responsible parenting AND responsible gun ownership.

/end rant/

@gkoinm: It may not be a chip but SSN is the closest thing to tagging a person.

so...does it tell him what job he should do?? ...say..... delivery boy???

@PhilR8: The second amendmant stated that an organized militia has the right to hold firearms, but the supreme court decided the first part didnt matter.

Zomb

@Wegmans: If that doesnt work try a proxy

@maven2k: and trickery so he could be tricking you into believing he isnt the god of lies by not lying.

Zomb

I read of that "Mark of the beast" book and it was clear to me that the author was a total ignorant jackass that knew nothing of RFID. I think he confused RFID with GPS!

JEmlay

@Zomb: all i get from it is we get a militia and WE get guns.

The Second Amendment, as passed by the House and Senate, reads:

" A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "

The original and copies distributed to the states, and then ratified by them, had different capitalization and punctuation:

" A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Why all this talk of religion? Its just an rfid tag...by the time this become mandatory in order to check for terrorist on plane, escaped convicts, proof of millitary duty - and eventually your personal non-expiring visa card, the rfid implant will be as small as a common needle, dont worry so much.

Rustabout

RFID and the mark of the beast don't necessarily go hand-in-hand; The mark of the beast is more about the application of something like RFID. Use as a device for world-government identification and commerce is what it references in Revalation (The means, not necessarily RFID).

PascalSea urchin

Well to use RFID there is no need to implant anything in your skin, he could just use a card, but maybe that would slow him down. Of course, the best (obvious) solution to his problem is a fingerprint reader or some sort of biometric security. Why put something under your skin when you can use your skin to begin with?
