Smith & Wesson, the oldest and largest handgun manufacturer in the U.S., agreed last month to adopt several kinds of safety measures--among them installing "smart-gun technology" on all its guns within three years in exchange for being dropped from numerous lawsuits. Colt has stopped making most of its guns for sale to individuals, focusing on the police and military markets instead...
