Insane gun fondlers are insane.

"The phone was ringing off the hook," he said Friday morning in an interview. That's because gun rights advocates think the guns will be mandated. Electronic chips in the Armatix iP1 can communicate with a watch that can be bought separately. Then the gun cannot be fired without the watch. Somebody told one of Raymond's workers that the store, Engage Armament, wouldn't be selling the gun because there wouldn't be a store - it will burn down. At another point, Raymond picked up the phone and said, "Hi, this is Andy. How can I help you?" The caller said, "You're the guys selling the smart gun?" Raymond tried to reason with him. But the caller said, "You're gonna get what's coming to you (expletive)." Raymond took that as a death threat.

while I believe anyone should be able to buy or sell
any type of firearm at all, I dont see a large market for guns that cannot be fired with a cellphone jammer in the area. Self defeating that is.

If you're going up against people with cell phone jammers...
They're probably better armed than you no matter what handgun you've got.

Cool! - "Pay up . . .
. . or we'll go for the full $337,000 - plus you'll have substantial lawyer fees if you try to protest this".

It means...
If you don;t pay the paltry sum of $48,000 we are offering you to pay... and pay it now... Well pursue the $337,000 we "could" fine you.
Now hurry up and pay the fine.

They should do it with BAN.
Body Area Network. I imagine a cell-phone jammer would find that rather harder to disrupt since it uses the skin as a conductive pathway.
Note I don't know much about the tech, but I have encountered the idea of smart guns like this in speculative fiction several times. Interesting they always use the equivalent of a body area network, such as a contact pad, instead of broadcast technology.
