...for owning "military-style" semiautomatics and pumps, are cheering the development of electronically locked....military-style semiautomatics and pumps.

iGun has said they will not market their gun until NJ-style mandates are taken off the table. They also point out that electronically locked guns aren't a replacement for non-electronic firearms, but are complementary to them.

FWIW, I do think that if any company is going to make a viable "smart gun", it is this one. Ironically, Jonathan Mossberg of iGun has pointed out that gun control advocates are threatening his company on multiple fronts, both through "smart gun" mandates, and via attempts to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. A new AWB or magazine restrictions could also undercut iGun in the market, so we'll see.
