Don't make the mistake of assuming that the police are always the good guys.
You actually can't assume that anyone is always going to be the "good guy", or that anyone else will always be a "bad guy".
And if you could program a smart gun to have a sense of morality, capable of judging between appropriate and inappropriate uses of lethal force, you no longer need a human to carry it around, do you?
If the bad guys can't have guns, good guys can't have them either, because sometimes they are exactly the same people in different circumstances. That's the big hole in good guy vs. bad guy reasoning.
