MASS Rep wants to Mandate Smart Gun Technology
I'm not sure what is in the water on the East Coast that politicians keep come up with these all these bizarre proposals. Here is the latest. After watching the latest James Bond movie (really). Massachusetts Rep John Tierney wants to make handguns have special technology. This reminds me that New Jersey actually has a law on the books already regarding smart guns. Not sure if Tierney wants it just for Mass or for the whole country.
I know there have been threads about 'smart gun' technology here on THR, but here is a politician from the East Coast trying to make a mandate of it. I feel sorry for our fellow gun owners in Massachusetts when their politicians come up with these kind of proposals and may have to deal with this someday. If we are not diligent... perhaps the rest of the country will have to deal with it as well.

"U.S. Rep. John Tierney (D-Mass) is pushing a bill that would require all U.S. handgun manufacturers to include 'personalization technology' in their weapons. Tierney said he got the idea for The Personalized Handgun Safety Act of 2013 from the latest James Bond film, Skyfall"
