Gun Manufacturer Just Stared Down Eric Holder And Told Him To Shove It

[John -- '02 HAWK]

Some arms manufacturer will see dollar signs and will make a preemptive move and will produce and patent this technology. The government will then mandate it.

If it was mandated it would get overturned in the courts because of the patent exclusivity.

Mandates wouldn't be written for only that patent...but for a device that accomplishes the same objective. That's why it was stated that competitors would either have to license or spend r&d money

Mandates wouldn't be written for only that patent

If the patent is written well enough there may be no other options. Example microstamping is so well written that it exists for technology that doesnt even exist, and yet is so inclusively written that any legislation that uses microstamping would require use of that patent
