Handgun Trigger Safety Act
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d113:s2068:


In part

(a) Prohibition-

(1) MANUFACTURING- Beginning on the date that is 2 years after
the date of enactment of this Act, no person may manufacture in the
United States a handgun that is not a personalized handgun.

(2) DISTRIBUTION IN COMMERCE- Beginning on the date that is 3
years after the date of enactment of this Act, no person may
distribute in commerce any handgun that is not a personalized handgun
or a retrofitted personalized handgun.

(3) EXEMPTIONS FOR ANTIQUE FIREARMS AND MILITARY FIREARMS-
Paragraphs (1) and (2) shall not apply to--

(A) an antique firearm;

(B) the manufacture of a firearm that is sold to the
Department of Defense; or

(C) the sale or distribution of a firearm to the
Department of Defense.



It figures that this bill would originate from people like Markey and
Elizabeth Warren, two of the most left leaning MA politicians in office.

There is another bill .. H.R.2005 that is even more onerous with regard
to existing firearms. Sponsored by another MA Democrat, John Tierney,
the prohibitions read:

(1) effective 2 years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, handguns manufactured in the United States must be personalized
handguns; and

(2) effective 3 years after the date of the enactment of this
Act, handguns sold, offered for sale, traded, transferred, shipped,
leased, or distributed in the United States must be--

(A) personalized handguns, if manufactured on or after the
effective date in paragraph (1); or

(B) retrofitted personalized handguns, if manufactured
before the effective date in paragraph (1).


I read that as meaning that after three years *all* gun sales, new and
old, including private sales and even a simple transfer of ownership
(give firearm to family member) will require the firearm to be
"Personalized", either by design or by retrofit.
