As Nick reported, the civilian disarmament industrial complex has opened a new front in their battle to underline the word “control” in “gun control.” Global Digital Solutions’ attempt to turn The Freedom Group into The RIFD-enabled Firearms Group follows hard-on-the-heels of Smart Tech’s Firearms Challenge: a Shark Tank-like project aimed at “reducing gun violence through innovation.” Ron Conway, a poli-sci student who became a “Silicon Valley titan” (i.e. early investor in Google and Facebook) is the man behind the prize. Despite the $1m headline, Ron’s doing this on the cheap. The deadline for submissions: March 31. The video above garnered 113 views at the time of writing. I wonder if Global Digital Solutions will apply. [h/t everydaynodaysoff.com]
They should be crying, they killed those wonderfull kids. They just can’t accept what they did & the failure of their cause, so naturally its someone elses fault.
This isn’t the kind of fare you generally find on ENDO.
So if one submits a proposal for gun familiarization and safety classes to be taught in all schools across the nation, does that count?
“technology for a firearm that reliably authorizes an approved user and blocks an unauthorized user of the firearms”
Oh, pshaw! I already own two such devices, both already on the market: my Safariland retention holster and my Gun Vault pistol safe.

Both she and Hochsprung were gunned down trying to protect the students.
Says who? The only people who know what they were doing are dead.
I think it would be a worthwhile exercise to study the history of carrying firearms, and how it went from open carry, to prohibiting concealed carry, to prohibiting open carry and finally to where we are today.
It would give us a wonderful insight into our own history and what forces played a part in bringing these changes about.
It would make for a fascinating book.
My Ruger .22 SR pistol is dumber than dirt but when it comes to being a fun range buddy, there is nothing better.
“Smart” anything is way over rated.
We must NOT comply. Simple as that.
Let’s hope NJ completely bans all firearms. Then all the criminals will flock to the state. NJ will be a warzone, but the rest of the country’s violent crime will plummet. I’m kidding, but that’s probably not untrue, actually. Make a single place in the country as gun free as possible, while eliminating any and all restrictions on gun ownership in the rest of the country. Criminals flock to the gun free area, only to meet other armed criminals and end up all slaughtering each other.
It would never happen of course, but it’s an interesting thought.
We could lobby to make all the alphabet-soup federal agencies buy those things and then when TSHTF have some Chinese hackers turn them all off. 😀
I’d rather stick a fork in my eye than waste time with this nonsense.
I’m going to stay away from the auction. I got seriously outbid on the Tom Knapp rifle(s) I wanted. I’m still bummed.
That was some darn nice shooting. Going up in the hills for some long range play this weekend. Think I’ll take some .22’s along.
As I’ve said before, this whole thing is not so much about the legislation itself as painting Christie in a corner, no matter what he does. If he signs it, he’s a gun-grabber; if he vetoes it, he’s a gun nut. So no matter what he does, he’s going to lose voters when he tries to run for president in 2016.
Which is kinda stupid as he’s the worst possible candidate, unless he runs as a democrat.
The added restrictions are just gravy.
hey was just reading from the website….

under “Value Statement”
Society
‘We produce environmentally sound products and only act within the law.
We will not compromise our moral or ethical principles.”
Gee I wonder if CASH buyout WILL SWAY THEM to Compromise their morals and ethical principles?
or what those moral and ethical principle might be
if different than, what (we) would perceive them to be.
Last year, we built a Post 86 Dealer Sample M16 on a New Frontier Armory Polymer lower. Mil-spec M16 Trigger Group and auto sear were a snap to install after drilling the hole for the auto sear pin. Several hundred rounds of full auto suppressed fire later the only malfunction noted was the bolt catch would lock the bolt back with rounds still in the magazine. Replacement of the spring cured that.
Now that select fire lower sports a 10.5 ” barrel and also has a 16″ .300 Blackout just for giggles. For sights, both uppers have Eotech 512’s mounted.
Now as far as esthetics go, the AR/M16 will never win any beauty contest in my opinion. This is a purely utilitarian weapon and does exactly what the designers intended. My concerns are solely with function and after selling over 50 of these NFA lowers as stripped lowers, complete lowers, and assembled rifles, I am satisfied as to their excellent performance.
I think mandatory militia duty would do this country a lot of good.
Yes,
They have done much to advance gun rights in Ohio, Virginia, and Michigan.
They have also shinned light on CCW restrictions in Nevada (but OC is legal) and now people OC in so called “gun free zones”.
