G'day
Watching the Discovery Channel last night, there was an item on the ABC News about personalised smart guns. They had reps. from Colt and Beretta, as well as footage of obviously prototype handguns.
The item was presented as though smart gun technology was already up and running, a fait accomplit, although the manufacturers tried to explain otherwise. The Gun Control spokesman was given a great deal of time to expound his views.
However, what caught my attention was the closing remarks by the presenter to the effect that manufacturers may soon have the decision "taken out of their hands", as three states at least were legislating to make them compulsory. Unfortunately, I was interrupted and missed two of the states' names, but I did think I heard that one was New Jersey.
Can anyone substantiate or refute this, please?
