I think what we have here are schemes by lobbyists to make money. They represent special interest groups who have developed a technology without demand and filed a pattent. Then they lobby a politician to write a law to force adoption of the technology by all gun makers like firing pin imprints which are not a permanent feature of a gun. All of a sudden a worthless patent is worth a lot of money. I personally feel a smart gun is actually a more dangerous gun. Anything electronic is likely to wear out, break or fail due to loss of power over time. If the technology really was a good idea the military and police agencies would be all over it to arm their people. Police can buy pretty much any gun they like off list while the rest of us are prohibited from having equal rights. Why is this a good idea if the guns they are buying off list were not "safe" to have?
