e. Child safety. Within 12 months of execution of the Agreement,
each firearm shall be designed so that it cannot be readily
operated by a child under the age of 6. Such mechanisms
include: making the trigger pull resistance at least ten pounds in
the double action mode; or designing the firing mechanism so
that an average five year old’s hands would be too small to
operate the gun; or requiring multiple, sequenced actions in order
to fire the gun.
c. Internal locking device. Within 24 months of execution of the
Agreement, each firearm shall have a built-in, on-board locking
system, by which the firearm can only be operated with a key or
combination or other mechanism unique to that gun. http://www.isra.org/smithagree.pdf
IMHO:
S&W can not afford to re engineer 56 current handguns
for Child Safety & internal safetylocks, when no sane dealer is going to sell their wares so..
B. Law enforcement and military exception. An exception to a
requirement of paragraph A may be granted for firearms manufactured
or imported for sale to a law enforcement agency or the military if the
law enforcement agency or military organization certifies to the
manufacturer party to this Agreement that the exception is necessary for
official purposes. Where a law enforcement agency authorizes or
requires its officer to purchase firearms individually for official use, an
appropriate certification from the agency will be permitted to apply to
sales to a number of individual officers. The manufacturer party to this
Agreement shall maintain the certification in its records and provide a
copy to the Oversight Commission. Firearms sold to law enforcement or
the military pursuant to this exception which do not comply with the
design standards of this Agreement, will be accompanied by a statement:
1. “On [date], [manufacturer parties to this Agreement] and
[governmental parties to this Agreement] entered into an
Agreement establishing certain design standards for firearms sold
to civilians. Pursuant to that Agreement, we are obligated to
request that you not resell this firearm to civilians. This statement
is not intended to suggest that there are any design flaws with this
firearm, and you remain entitled to dispose of it in any lawful
manner.”

Colt buys HK, then FN & becomes the US military arms manufacturer
(they have already said they will stop civilian HG sales and ended the iColt smartgun project)
For their efforts they build M4A1s and Five seveN pistols and P90s
Then they get the OWIC contract
anyone who doesn't sign the civilian contract is sued to oblivion
(Lorcin)
b. Minimum length and height standards. The pistol’s combined
length and height must not be less than 10” with the height being
at least 4” and the length at least 6”, unless it has an average
group diameter test result of 1.7” or less at seven yards, 3.9” or
less at 14 yards, and 6.3” or less at 21 yards. The average group
diameter test result is the arithmetic mean of the results of three
separate trials, each performed on a different sample firearm of
the make and model at issue. For each trial, the firearm shall fire
five rounds at a target from the specified distance and the largest
spread in inches between the center of any of the holes made in a
test target shall be the result of the trial.
the late signers get this:
The U.S. government will require any additional gun manufacturers joining
in the agreement to meet all the requirements set for
Smith & Wesson, with the possibility of some additional concessions.

Some company will be forced to make the smartgun
and this will be the only new civilian gun for sale in 3 years.
Guaranteeing that company a lucrative, lawsuit free, business market.
Within 36 months of the date of
execution of this Agreement, this technology shall be
incorporated in all new firearm designs, with the exception of
curios and collectors’ firearms. This requirement does not apply
to existing designs currently in production.
dZ comment --> (which still must be modified to have the internal lock)
If the eight firearms manufacturers and/or importers with the
largest United States firearms sales volume agree to incorporate
authorized user technology in all firearms, the manufacturer
parties to this Agreement will incorporate authorized user
technology in all firearms.
Oh Henry!
