"Smart Gun" Promoters Lose

In Massachusetts, BOTH representatives who supported the “Smart Gun” legislation lost in the primaries. One was a NINE-TERM representative who had been in the legislature for more than 20 years. It’s the first such upset in 22 years, and the one thing that’s common to both is their support for the “Smart Gun.” The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has nothing against the “Smart Gun” technology, but they object to it being made MANDATORY. They think shooters should be able to decide for themselves whether or not to use it, rather than being TOLD to do so by the government. One of the two legislators promised to “take on” the NRA with his law, but found “taking on” the NRA wasn’t as easy as he thought it was. The NRA is still in business, but he is NOT. (The DailyCaller)
