Himes, Murphy introduce firearms SAFETY Act

4th District Congressman Jim Himes has introduced the Start Advancing Firearms Enhancements and Technology Act.  The SAFETY legislation would provide tax incentives to small businesses and firearm manufacturers for the development of smart gun technologies. The bill also encourages consumers to buy firearms that utilize new breakthroughs in safety to reduce gun violence.  Senator Chris Murphy introduced the companion bill.  He says if people can use a finger or face to unlock a cell phone, then firearm manufacturers can be innovative in using technology to secure guns.  Murphy added that safely securing guns will cut down on suicides and accidental deaths, especially among children.
