B’klyn aims for smart-gun tech

COLLEGE STUDENTS in Brooklyn are about do to something the National Rifle Association has refused to — build a smart gun.

Borough President Eric Adams has tasked college students with developing technology that would allow a weapon to be fired only by an authorized user. The NYPD will help test the designs.

“The NYPD’s range officers will help work out the kinks,” said Adams, who thought of the idea after the murders of Police Offic- ers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos in 2014. “We want to do something the NRA has prevented gun manufacturers from doing.”

Adams turned to borough colleges — the Polytechh nic Institute of New York University, y, Pratt University and nd New York City Colllege of Technology gy among them — to work on the project. The one with the best proposal gets $1 million from Adams’ budget to advance the program.

The plan already has been blessed by City Hall. “The city is proud to take the lead in anti-gun violence strategies, and looks forward to testingtest out this new gun te technology,” a spokesw womansaid. The NRA d didn’t respond to req quests for comment.
