Not entirely true. I can't speak for NJ but here in MD what is required is an existing, and simple, technology, albeit one that not many makers put in their guns. Any gun made after Jan 1 must have a built-in lock (you know like the ones we all hate in Taurus and S&W guns). Still a bad law, and one that will make most new guns illegal here, but not as bad as you say (though dealers are expecting losses of up to 80% of their handgun business- not sure how very many will be able to stay in business). As for the rest of your post, you are pretty much right.
