“I don’t think the founders put the Second Amendment as number two by accident”, he said.

President Barack Obama has expressed his dissatisfaction over the levity and slow manner in which the Congress has handled the gun control policies for a very long time.
Obama said he’s had enough. He enacted new rules to strengthen background checks and treat mental disease. He is hoping this will avert accidental shootings and track stolen or lost firearms. The choice between a biased gun lobbyist organization or a president who has shown interest in curbing gun violence and protecting the American people does not seem like a hard one. And the companies that actually make these guns are skeptical. His Georgia-based company makes fingerprint scanners that can be integrated into guns. Around sixteen years ago, Smith & Wesson was boycotted by the NRA after it agreed with the Clinton administration to agree to a set of gun controls, which included the use of smart gun tech.
The NRA challenged Obama to a duel. In a national poll past year, 52 percent of respondents said it was at least “somewhat likely” that “stricter gun laws will eventually lead to the federal government trying to take away guns from Americans who legally own them”. Hunter added, they are not in the business of promoting certain products.
However, the National Shooting Sports Foundation does not share the enthusiasm of Hunter.
Gun tech makers like Lynch have been caught in the middle.
There are several reasons why traditional gunmakers hesitate to jump onboard with smart guns. Traditional guns fire when the trigger is pulled, but smart guns may not fire when the trigger is pulled.
He said if Obama “really wanted to make America safer, he’d pick up the phone and tell his Justice Department to flip Chicago upside down until every criminal with a gun, criminal gangbanger with a gun and drug dealer with a gun is arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned to the fullest extent of the law”. “These designs are not flawless”.
The biggest issue facing manufacturers is politics.
Expense is another concern. Experts also say smart guns may be priced too high for lower-income consumers.
Gun makers have been hesitant to adopt gun technology ever since.
