Summary
The Childproof Handgun Act of 2005 proposes a federal ban on the manufacture and sale of handguns that do not include "personalized" safety technology, often referred to as smart gun technology. Under this bill, handguns would be required to feature integrated devices that prevent the firearm from being fired by anyone other than the authorized owner or other designated individuals. The legislation includes exceptions for law enforcement and military use and mandates a government study to determine the commercial and technical feasibility of these safety features before the requirements take effect.
