It's all about the legislation. In New Jersey, once ONE smart gun comes to market, all other guns will become illegal. Capisci? Consumers will have NO CHOICE. Zip. Zero. Nada. Niente. If they want a gun, they will have to buy that gun, regardless of its quality.

Wouldn't it be great if a cop's life would be saved because the bad guy that took his weapon was unable to shoot him? What about the intruder in someone's home that tries to kill them with their own gun and it won't fire.

Wouldn't it be terrible if a gun owner's family members were unable to use his gun to defend themselves because they didn't have the magic ring or the right fingerprint or whatever cockamamie technology the gun requires? Two can play at that game.

Take away the legislation and the opposition goes with it. Develop away, but the mandates have got to go.
