NY Democrat Rep. Pushes Bill Requiring Traditional Guns to be Retrofitted as ‘Smart Guns’

Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY-12) has introduced a bill requiring all traditional handguns to be retrofitted with “smart gun” technology before they can be sold.
The bill grants 10 years until the retrofitting requirement goes into effect.


According to a press release from Maloney’s office, the “smart gun” legislation is called the Handgun Trigger Safety Act. It would be implemented in stages–requiring manufacturers to make only “smart guns” within the next five years and then require the retrofitting of traditional handguns five years later.

The Act would also use taxpayer money “to develop and improve “personalized” handgun technology to increase efficacy and decrease costs” and would “provide reimbursement to manufacturers for the costs of retrofitting handguns.” The reimbursement would come out of “the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund.”

I’m proud to reintroduce the Handgun Trigger Safety Act to support the development and adoption of innovative safety technology for handguns.

"Progressives" seem to have little to no idea of the technology and it's failures nor do they seem to have any idea about how hard or the devaluation involved in retrofitting guns with some pie in the sky garbage. I said "seem" on purpose. They know exactly that if they demand a technology that is so cost prohibitive and unreliable as to make it not worth installing, people will either not comply, leave NY or dispose of their current handguns and not replace them. If they don't comply, simple, they get imprisoned for a very long time. If they leave, good, the liberals and progs don't want you here anyway. If they get rid of their guns, then they have exercised their power over you and you are easy pickings for the criminals they refuse to do anything about.
The courts will uphold their garbage laws too, since guns aren't "banned". Scumbag liberals.

This is being introduced for the whole country.... That bill will make all these rare handguns worthless.

Oh. Misread it. Even better for them, can't be retrofitted, off to the scrap heap.

Maloney shares the honor of exhibit #1 for term limits. Born, raised and educated in North Carolina but has been in congress for NYC since 1992 (through 8 years of Willy Clinton, 8 years of Bush, 8 years of Obummer and going) and before that she was on the dole as an Albany staffer, played around as a NYC board of Ed staffer, and was even on the NYC city council. Her congressional claims to fame are sponsoring any scheme her staffers find that makes citizen gun ownership prohibitively expensive, sponsoring any scheme her donors present that makes credit cards more profitable for them, being ranked as one of the most liberal representatives in the liberal New York delegation, and this southern princess congressperson got away with saying "ni&&er" on the record. (the forum software will not show the N word Maloney was using on the record but uttering that word ends the career for anyone but a liberal loon who gets a pass).

If they can't get stuff like this passed in NY what chance does it have Nationally? None, thats what.

That's the only consolation because when they pass it in NYS I'll leave this shit hole.

I don't think it would pass even in NY.

I'm just messing around with you but in 2012 if you would have told me that they wanted to pass a law where you needed a background check for ammo, I would have said what you said.

I'll never forget that day for as long as I live. When I heard the news, and when the full scope of it hit me I vomited, I literally had an involuntary gastric evacuation. I know most of you can't for a variety of reasons but for those that can- moving out of NYS will lift your spirits to heights not seen since before we knew what a Cuomo was, and I'm talking the Mario type shitbag here.

All politicians, but especially democrats, seem to have a knack for legislating things that they know absolutely nothing about.

I too will never forget that day. I had a big deal job interview in Rochester that I think I subconsciously sabotaged myself at because I knew I would need to get out of NY. My girlfriend and I both want out, but we have yet to find where we want to go. I know if I needed to, I could land in western NC but we visited there this passed fall and it wasn't really for us. We are thinking more out west. So that is where our next vacation will be. The other thing is jobs. It's tough for us to save a lot of money so we'd likely need to have something lined up (at least one of us anyway). Ugh.

I'm in PA now but I have devolped an affinity for Tennessee. Idaho would also be cool, for the scenery and because of the qualities that lead it to be dubbed the redoubt. TN I'm much more familar with though. I've been all over the state.

The total goal is to disarm the population. They will use every law they can make up to do it. Look at the hate crime bill ... Charged with a hate crime and you will be forced to give up your rights. What is a hate crime .. anything they want and as broad as they want ... Make a reference about a person with green hair .. Hate crime .. Fits right in with not baking a cake. That will become a hate crime. ... And no rights for you. Meanwhile if you kill someone in the hood after you get out you get to become a voter again.
Why 7 rounds in the safe act... If one would practice a mag change on occasion we realize how quick and proficient it can be. .. 7 rounds was put into place to ensnare as many folks as one can.. At some point in time some one from NY City would introduce a side bar making it a felony .....for more than 7 rounds. ... Now this was fought back but why limit us in NY to 10 rounds ... The rest of the country .. 15 or 17 or 20 ?.. To ensnare as many folks as possible. .. And it is working. There is more than one thread about folks being arrested for owning a 15 round mag and facing 15-20 years in prison. ...
We are attacked at the state and federal level. Not just gun rights but conservative values as a whole. Your children and grand children are being brainwashed in school and it has worked. Just look at what is happening at the university level all across this country. .. Now free college has appeared. .... Just what courses will be taught to get this degree and every thing free... I am talking what will be ... required for a person to take.
University faces backlash for anti-Trump course that promised to teach ‘strategies for resistance’

The course description did not mince words:

“Donald J. Trump won the U.S. presidency despite perpetuating sexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, nationalism, nativism, and imperialism. This course explores why and how this happened, how Trump’s rhetoric is contrary to the foundation of the U.S. democracy, and what his win means for the future. The course will also discuss, and potentially engage in, strategies for resistance.”

The course, which will be taught this fall to a small group of students, has angered some conservatives and propelled Butler University in Indianapolis to the national spotlight. Critics say they’re concerned by the course description’s anti-Trump language and the prospect of requiring students to participate in the resistance movement against the president.

Your tax dollars will be paying for this type of course ... Just change this from anti conservative to anti gun ... .. Make it a mandatory course for every student.
College Art Teacher Forces Students to Create Anti-Gun Propaganda Art
An assistant professor of art and graphic design at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas is under investigation for allegedly forcing graphic design students to create anti-gun artwork for her own personal crusade against firearms.

Campus Reform broke the story and confirmed that officials at the public, taxpayer-supported school launched an investigation after receiving a student’s official complaint last week .

This proposed gun law in Washington will fail ... But please note I highlighted the word .. reintroduced ....At some point in the future it will stick. Along with hundreds of other gun laws out there. .. This is what we face as a nation ..
Do I need another hand gun ...NO .. I fear at some day that hand gun you will be allowed to buy will be vastly different than what you own right now... And not for the better. and that is why when money permits another one will be bought. ... and never sold. Another wheel gun is in the future also . I own a few but they are too big to carry ... Why .. I can fore see a day when a law will be passed saying only a wheel gun will be allowed if one desires to conceal carry. Auto's are allowed for range and home defense only ..Fits that dream 7 round handgun limit ...
Make that a national bill ... Try finding a good wheel gun for sale after that...

when the dem's trigger the anti-whatever riots this summer, I hope one occurs in her district and she gets an up close and personal understanding of why she is so wrong. it's not that I wish anyone harm, I just think she needs some education, and since the dem's are insistent on creating riots to force their will on the rest of us, a little taste of their own handiwork might be very instructive.

Maloney’s Stupid ‘Smart Gun’ Bill an Unintended Gift to Gun Owners
“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?
Because it shows Maloney for the sick tyrranophile that she is. It takes away the arguments that gun owner rights advocates are “paranoid” and that “No one wants to take your guns.”

Of course they do. Every action on the part of these subversives under the guise of “common sense gun safety laws” is just another incremental nip toward that goal, and by going for this big a bite, Maloney shows her insatiable hunger and undeniable lust.

But don’t take my word for it. Listen instead to Nelson “Pete” Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., renamed to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in order to not only mask what they’re really after, but also to accommodate the other types of guns they want to ban:

We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. . . . [W]e’ll have to start working again to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen the next law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. . . . The first problem is to slow down the number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second problem is to get handguns registered. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition-except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors-totally illegal.
