Why the NRA is more monstrous than you think

25. It is politicians like Ed Markey and S.2068 that are provoking an anti-smart gun backlash

S.2068 calls for grant money, up to $2 million, for companies, individuals, and states, to research technology that would lead to the personalization of firearms. A personalized handgun, according to the bill, is a firearm which: enables only an authorized user of the handgun to fire the handgun; was manufactured in such a manner that the firing restriction described is incorporated into the design of the handgun; is not sold as an accessory; and cannot be readily removed or deactivated.

According to the bill, “Beginning on the date that is 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, no person may manufacture in the United States a handgun that is not a personalized handgun.”

It says later that, “Beginning on the date that is 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, no person may distribute in commerce any handgun that is not a personalized handgun or a retrofitted personalized handgun.”

The law would essentially make it illegal to make or sell a gun that is not personalized, new or old.

If the president and other Dem leaders would promise to never pass such legislation then smart guns wouldn't be an issue.
