Dems push smart tech handgun rules

[LoginName]

Looks like they've been on a roll the past few days.

First, the mandatory insurance garbage, and now this (of course the national embarrassment that is our legislators in
Congress are in the forefront)...

Democrats are looking to place new restrictions on who can use handguns.

The Handgun Trigger Safety Act introduced Tuesday by Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) aims to block criminals and children from using guns that do not belong to them.

Gun dealers would be required to install smart gun technology that fires only if it recognizes the shooter, such as the person who purchased the gun or someone they designate as an authorized user.

Some smart gun technologies use fingerprints, while others require the shooter to wear a bluetooth bracelet or receive a microchip implant that unlocks the gun.

The lawmakers also introduced a second bill that would provide $10 million annually in funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to research gun violence prevention and firearms safety.

The gun safety bills come on National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

“The epidemic of gun violence in America is not preordained, it is preventable,” Markey said. “In the 21st century, we should use research and advances in technology to our advantage and save lives from tragic and needless gun violence."

"These bills will keep guns out of the hands that of those who shouldn’t have them," he added.

The handgun bill would require gun manufacturers to install smart gun technology on all new handguns, starting in five years. Within 10 years, gun dealers would also be required to retrofit used handguns with smart gun technology.

The legislation would set up a fund to reimburse gun dealers for retrofitting handguns with smart gun technology. It would also provide research grants to improve the technology.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is co-sponsoring the handgun bill.

"The majority of Americans support sensible steps to reduce the bloodshed in our streets, schools, churches and other public spaces," Maloney said.

Sensible steps my ass!

 

[Gak44]

We are toast if the dems regain congress, never mind the WH.

 

[Evadd]

receive a microchip implant that unlocks the gun.

Maloney, Markey, Warren, I want no part of your Brave New World.

 

[StevieP]

FFS, why did it have to be one of OUR Senators? So embarrassing.

"The Handgun Trigger Safety Act introduced Tuesday by Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.)..."

Ugh. Warren is a co-sponsor.

I hate that they do this under the guise of being supported by their constituency. They do NOT have my support. Not. One. Bit.

Seriously? A microchip implant?

What the **** goes on in their empty skulls that led them to think this is sensible

What a bunch of clowns.

 

[jkelly1229]

I swear to Christ if they ruin my perfectly good colt combat delta when I f***ING find one with this smart gun chip on the damn grip over that sexy ass logo first person I'm shooting is her

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

Meh. DOA. You won't even see a committee hearing on this.

 

[swampy]

We can use them as examples why we need to have mandatory psychological examinations of candidates before elections.

 

[Dadstoys]

Isn't he about due to come down with some horrible disease or something?
Something slow and excruciating would be fine.
I would say disfiguring, but he already looks like the crypt keeper.

Exactly.

The whole script from start to finish has already been written and rehearsed.

It's just a dog and pony show for their constituency and Mad Moms types to show them that they're still fighting the good fight.

When it goes down like a $2.00 crack whore they can blame the 'stranglehold the NRA has on Congress'.

 

[Bill Katt]

If the crap can be "retrofitted in" it can be retrofitted right the eff back out.

 

[Chevy 2 65]

What a bunch of *******

 

[WanMan99]

They are wearing me down... I don't even get that upset anymore when they announce these stupid bills. I just assume (sic) they will die before even getting to a vote.

 

[fishgutzy]

What they really want is a ban on all handguns because they know the technology does not exist yet.
Cali mandated a technology '5 years out' believing the technology being mandated would be available by then. The result? No gun model introduced after 2013 can be sold there (unless something has changed since the last article I read regarding that issue).
It won't get to committee this time. But it gives a glimpse of what they have planned for if they ever get control of congress again and a SCOTUS packed with libtards.

 

[houdini]

we need to vote these people out.

 

[Squire]

Amnesty for people who broke the law to enter the country, but implanted microchip for Citizens exercising a Constitutional Right.

It is a philosophical and cultural war that will end in the death of Freedom or a new Revolution.

[Shark_Cage]

Fingerprint id my arse. Ever try to unlock an iPhone using the fingerprint scanner after washing you hands? Doesn't work does it? And don't get me started on the LE kill switch that would be included.

 

[Obie1]

They should each be required to test the technology by pointing a loaded "smart gun" at their tiny brains and pulling the trigger until they can determine the point of failure.

 

[Mr. Gold]

Sure I'd put an implant, heck, I'll put two of them. Right after all politicians commit to implant a 220V shocker in their necks which gets triggered every time they lie. Where do I sign up ?

 

[kalash]

The first person to try and implant a microchip in me is going to eat lead. That's the most f*cked up idea I've ever heard these buffoons come up with, and that's saying a lot.

 

[Palladin]

Our Senators are an embarrassment.

this. starting with Kennedy

Must keep fighting.

Then replace them next election.

No police exemptions!

 

[hminsky]

Stupid bottom feeding scumbag politicians.

As "far out there" as I thought it sounded, I can see some sort of Revolutionary Civil War in the future. This is getting out of line but I'm somewhat glad these idiots are showing us their hand (legislature such as this bill) in this card game. I'm going to my grave microchip-free. Never again and no way in hell:

 

[frenchman]

They can try, if they want "we, the people" to implant some 77gr bull...micro chips into their skulls. There's plenty of unused space there anyway.

 

[GlockJock]

I've told everyone here this before (literally every time his name comes up): I lived in Malden for 20 years. I met Ed Markey many times, know several members of his family, have been out for beers etc with his cousins...his niece played softball on my daughters team back in the day. Know many people who know him and know him well.

And his own family - HIS OWN BLOODLINE - doesn't trust him, doesn't like him, most who "do" actually only do so for their own $$ gain, real estate connections, political connections (and jobs) ...etc etc....
When your own family thinks you're a piece of shat, then you know you're the lowest of low. And his own family can't STAND the arsehole.
To this day, in conversations, if I'm ever describing someone who's a no good, untrustworthy, backstabbing rat fink, I'll use the term "You know, the type of guy that would shake your hand firmly - and steal your watch as he's doing it".
I swear to you on my grandmothers soul that I'd learned/first heard that phrase 25 years ago - from Markey's cousin - as he was describing....ED MARKEY.

More evidence that Liberals are mentally unstable, yet the mentally unstable keep voting them in to positions of power, so none of this should be shocking.

 

[Squire]

Disagree. They are completely stable. They know what they want, and that is assimilation and compliance by the population that is independent and defiant of their authoritarian view.

This kind of proposal is a direct attack on Individual Liberty, masked as Safety and Common Sense (as usual), which the Sheeple lap up like animals they are.

Gun Right Advocates should be calling them all out for the Communist Authoritarians they are, who in so many words are advocating MANDATORY MICROCHIP TRACKING OF LAW ABIDING CITIZENS BECAUSE THEY MAY POST A THREAT TO THEIR POWER!

Jesus ****ing Christ, this is infuriating!
