I think its interesting in that it effectively takes money out of the gun industry and also the gun lobby. I'd have to imagine that all of the major gun manufacturers are against this unless they think there will be money to be made licensing designs or software somewhat like McAfee or Norton Antivirus on your pc.

This is why I think it is a good thing. Making guns more affordable and available is a positive thing. Also making it harder for the government to track a gun is a good thing.

The way I see it is the criminals already get guns illegally in spite of the laws prohibiting them from doing so.

This is one of those weird times when the gun industry and the gun control lobby may have some common ground although the gun industry likely won't come right out and say they think it is a bad thing.
