Two American historians recently have won a patent for a blockchain-based recording system to get ballistic data. The United States Patent and Trademark Office awarded two inventors — Jason Palazzolo and Kevin Barnes — a patent for a”firearm environmental recording apparatus and network” on July 2-3.

This apparently could consist of multiple recording apparatus, including a camera, mic, and plasma screen sensor module that could record velocity, spatial measurements and acceleration data.

The filing states that a blockchain database or system could be used to store or become correlated with some of the data accumulated by the mechanisms.

Self Defence and Justfire



Jason Palazzolo is the founder and CEO of a company Named Justifire. On its website, Justifire promotes something called a”black box for your firearm.” The featured device attaches into the back of a pistol and contains the very same features mentioned at the patent — including video, sound and spatial recording and data gathering.

The site asserts that the intention of this tech is to provide proof of self-defense, saying,”this unique data could be employed by its owner because proof an event where deadly action was required.” Justfire additionally claims that just it will Have the Ability to access the encoded information, by default:

“Info and video footage that involves a violent action taken against the other human will probably soon be automatically recognized by the device and immediately encrypted, becoming un-accessible to all parties except Justifire Technologies LLC. Data will be supplied to the owner of the device just through specific legal request, preventing any party by submitting the public to picture illegal actions.”

Blockchain-based gun tracking



The invoice, which has been entitled”Imposes Restrictions on Using Firearm Tracking Technology,” stated:

“It shall be unlawful to require a individual to use or become subject to electronic firearm tracking technology or to reveal any identifiable information regarding the individual or the person’s firearm with the aim of using electronic firearm monitoring technology”

However, the bill did include exceptions to this policy, specifically for police officials, retailers using dispersed ledgers to record sales and firearm owners who’ve issued a written consent for monitoring their firearms.
