New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law
rmohr02 writes "New Jersey has just enacted legislation that would require all handguns to be able to recognize their owners and only fire when their owners grip them. Gun manufacturers will be required to implement this within three years of the NJ Attorney General's approval of an acceptable, commercially available model. One critic says 'No technology is foolproof--anyone who has a computer knows how many times it crashes.' I'm sure fellow /.ers will have something to say about that. Also on Google News"
The home of Torricelli, Harrison Williams - nay, the very bastion of corruption in government provides us with more stunning legislation sure to cure the nation's ills.
After all, criminals will be sure to get 'smart' guns. Ditto for inner city residents looking for personal protection. Right? I mean they can't speak english - resist it, even, but they'll get a smart gun. For sure.
More crap that sounds plausible but is really utterly useless. Cheers, Trenton!
Anyone got any ideas for where to move? 33 years of NJ bullshit is enough for any one person.
