From Guns.com:
A group of House Democrats last week introduced a bill that would set aside Department of Justice funds to research so-called “smart guns.â€
The aim of “The Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act†is to back “private-sector commercialization of gun-safety technology†through a $10 million pilot program in 2021 funded through DOJ. Companies who have an initial product design and a “demonstrable commitment to reducing unintentional or unauthorized shootings†would be eligible to apply for a grant through the program.
