Gun maker may get $2.8
million for 'smart gun' research
By Associated Press, 05/02/01
SPRINGFIELD -- Smith & Wesson is reportedly in line for a
$2.8 million federal grant to develop a "smart" handgun that
can be fired only by an authorized user.
The Union-News in Springfield reported Wednesday that the
Bush administration has agreed to provide the money after
personal lobbying by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and
U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass.
The money had been promised by the Clinton administration
as part of the Springfield gun maker's agreement last year to
install safety locks on all of its guns and to adopt other safety
features and marketing changes. In return, the gun maker was
dropped from some federal lawsuits.
Following the agreement, other gun makers and gun rights
supporters accused Smith & Wesson of selling out. The
company said its sales were cut in half and last fall it laid off
125 workers.
