Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, responded to an intentionally outrageous gun question during an online "gun violence" Q&A Monday, endorsing new technology that makes guns “smarter.”
Jarrett was asked, “My idea is guns with microchips that can be remotely disabled. Your thoughts?”
And she actually responded.
“Technology has changed our world. We can learn lots from the research on how to make guns “smarter.”
