The ditsy news brief makes it sound as though a roster of approved "SmartGuns" already exists and lawmakers just want to expand it for the safety of the chilrun.

Fact is that after 14 years and who knows how much money NJ and the DOJ have funneled to NJIT, the government appointed spearhead, NJIT h wasas yet to create a viable market ready "SmartGun" design.

Additionally, the political rush to move legislation mandating "SmartGun" sales has , surprise, unintended consequences. Read more from the NRA 2012:

....Basically, the Childproof Handgun Law of 2002 says that once "personalized handguns are available" anywhere in the country, all handguns sold in New Jersey must be smart guns within 30 months.

The goal of the law was to spur "research, development and manufacture" of smart guns, according to its sponsor, New Jersey state Sen. Loretta Weinberg. But in practice, supporters and critics of the law now agree, that has not been the case.

"It actually doesn't matter if the gun has been sold," says David Kopel, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute. "If there's just one available for sale anywhere in the United States, then that triggers the handgun ban.
