State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D) is working to change New Jerseyâs laws to make smart guns available â 13 years after a measure that would require them was put into place.
A law written by Weinberg and passed in 2002 would require that New Jersey dealers only offer âsmart guns,â which are weapons that activate only when their ownersâ fingerprints are detected, within 30 months of such guns coming on the market.
The technology exists, but gun dealers throughout the country have resisted offering such guns â for fear of beginning the clock on New Jerseyâs law and barring other gun sales in the Garden State.
âWe passed that bill to help spur this technology,â said Weinberg on 60 Minutes. Weinberg said sheâs looking to repeal the existing law, but instead require at least one type of smart gun be sold in any gun store.

That sounds like a plan.
Good thinking
Expect small EMP devices next.
Bingo. They are like a creeping, mass reproducing disease plague - New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida, Colorado, you name it. They crap all over their beds in their own states, then when the mess is too much for even them to bear, they go ruin somebody else’s backyard. NEXT Target Of THE PLAGUE - Pa.

"One of the mosts damning aspects of this bill is that "smart" gun technology was initially developed to protect police from being shot with their own guns when a criminal wrested their guns from them. Yet, this bill exempts local, state and federal police from being required to use these disabled weapons! The police do not want to be required to use "smart" guns for good reason -- their unreliability in a crisis situation. Why force them on the rest of us?
Basically, a so-called "smart" gun is a broken gun. It is designed not to work except under an extraodinarily limited set of conditions. Responsible people cannot rely on its proper functioning on the rare occaision it is needed, nor can it be depended on for sufficiently rapid response. It is virtually impossible to test the biometric technologies proposed under the kind of high stress conditions that a life-threatening crisis creates." …
