NRA does not oppose new technological developments in firearms; however, we are opposed to government mandates that require the use of expensive, unreliable features, such as grips that would read your fingerprints before the gun will fire.
I think smart guns is a terrible idea... ONE watch for ONE gun... what they should of done was ONE watch for ANY gun... that would help keep accidental or unintended discharge of a gun... I am pro-gun but okay with that kind of regulation... of course, we would have to worry if the government tries to tamper with it...
Where in that link does it say that the NRA's official position is that we can't let anyone sell smart guns because then they will be mandated for everyone?
It doesn't.
The focus of that link are city and state law enforcement agencies urging gun manufacturers to adopt their brand of "gun safety" measures before they'll give them a contract. The link also focuses on the potential reliability issues that could arise with smart guns, which you would know, had you read your own link.
So why did the NRA, on its very own website, publish an article including a statement that "[smart gun sales] have the potential “to mesh with the anti-gunner’s agenda, opening the door to a ban on all guns that do not possess the government-required technology"?
Anyone want to wear a special watch to vote? To drive?
To speak?
