Get a load of the latest "gun sense" baloney from Maloney. (Carolyn Maloney: Facebook)
"In
an effort to improve gun safety, Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney
(D-NY) has reintroduced The Handgun Trigger Safety Act,
forward-thinking legislation to use new and emerging technology to
prevent gun deaths," a press release from the congressthing proclaims.
"The bill would promote the development of new 'smart gun' technology
that only allows an authorized user to fire a gun. It would also
mandate that all newly manufactured handguns use this technology within
five years, and that existing handguns be retrofitted with this
technology within ten years."
Gun
owners who value their rights are well aware of all the absurdities
and potentials for failure by adding complexity to a mechanism designed
to prevent it from functioning as intended. There's no need to repeat
them here (I first took the subject on back in the 90s and have revisited it many times
over the years). Suffice it to say the requirements are always directed
at We the People and never at police, the alphabet agencies, the
Secret Service and the military, and for obvious reasons. After all,
how many people have ever pointed and clicked a garage door opener or
TV remote controller ... and had nothing happen?
Fortunately,
we know Maloney is posturing, trolling for press ink to keep her name
out there lest she be forgotten for her singular lack of
accomplishments. The treasonous bill isn't going anywhere, and neither
will its Senate counterpart, despite her blathering about cars and baby
cribs.
It didn't go anywhere last time, attracting only 10 Democrat cosponsors, and it'll go nowhere in committee this time out. And while the text of the 2017 version hasn't been posted yet, it's a pretty safe bet that it will closely track with last year's text, from which we can make a few deductions:
To read more, or make a comment on this post, GO HERE - It will force taxpayers to cover the cost of grants to developers. Kind of like bullet fees.
- It will exempt guns not so manufactured or retrofitted from the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, opening the door to company-destroying lawsuits. In true Opposite Day "progressive" fashion, the guns that will be protected from product liability repercussions are the ones with designed and after-market inhibitors.
