Documents in the United States. 28 pages that could shed light on the events of 9 11. Theyve been seen by very few people, and tonight youll hear from some of them. I think its implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didnt speak english, could have carried out such complicated tasks without some support from within the United States.

Had 12 years of setbacks and breakthroughs, 4,423 sleepless nights, and countless trips back to the drawing board. At first they were told no, well. Maybe, and finally yes. Then it was 36 clinical trials, 8,500 patient volunteers, and the hope of millions. And so after it became a medicine, someone who couldnt be cured, could be. Me. Leslie stahl the mass shooting at the nightclub in orlando a week ago today represents the latest of what has become a reoccurring nightmare in america. Family and friends are mourning again. Flags are at halfstaff again. And once again, there are calls for gun control, which happens every time there is an incident like this. One proposal to address the violence, especially when it comes to the daily shootings on our streets and in our homes, is smart guns. As we first reported in november, these are firearms that only work when they are fired by their owner. With Gee Whiz Technology seeping into every corner of our lives, why not guns . In the 2012 movie skyfall, q gives james bond a smart gun that only he can activate. Q its been coded to your palm pint, so only you can fire it. Stahl later, when the bad guy gets a hold of it. James bond good luck with that. Stahl firearms that recognize only their owner arent just the stuff of movies. Army veteran tom lynch is developing a touchpad scanner that recognizes fingerprints, like an iphone. Add it to an existing gun and its a smart gun. So, its recognizing you . There you go. Tom lynch its recognizing me. Stahl okay. Lynch now. Stahl now. Lynch its unlocked. Its still on fire. Stahl let me try it. Lets see if i can. Lynch now pull the trigger. Stahl i cant even pull the trigger. Oh. Lynch thats the point. Stahl its locked. Lynch its locked. Stahl other inventors are working on guns that recognize the squeeze of your grip, or unlock wirelessly if the shooter wears a watch or a ring. These guns would not have prevented many of the Mass Shootings because the gunmen owned the firearms, but smart gun advocates say they could counter this alltoocommon grim reality. A 14yearold boy accidentally shot and killed his nineyearold brother. Stahl . Children shot and killed by other children. A tragic shooting two friends playing with a gun when it goes off. Stahl smart guns could curtail the number of suicides, and cut down on the resale of stolen guns, estimated to be 230,000 every year. What good is a gun no one but the owner can fire . Shots fired in johnson city. We have an officer down. Stahl and they would help onduty cops. There was a struggle, and clark grabbed officer smiths gun and shot him two times. Stahl and yet, with at least a halfdozen smart guns in advanced development and some ready for manufacturing, no major u. S. Gun company is making them, and no gun dealer is willing to sell them. Why . Well, consider what happened to one maryland gun dealer who tried. Andy raymond i like the way sterling arsenal actually painted this thing. Stahl last year, andy raymond, coowner of engage armament, announced that hed sell the armatix ip1, a smart pistol made in germany. Who did you think would be interested in that kind of a gun . Raymond typically, what i like to call fence sitters, so people who arent normally into guns and dont normally want one. You know, im too afraid or whatever. Stahl did you anticipate the reaction that you got . Raymond no. Stahl within minutes of his announcement, angry emails and phone calls started coming. Raymond we got about 2,000 phone calls and maybe about the same emails. Stahl all against . Raymond yeah, that was just in one day. I mean, it was insane. I mean, one person threatened to burn down the shop. Another person threatened that i would be raped that was classic. Stahl you would be raped . Raymond yeah. Stahl did you get any Death Threats . Raymond yeah. The crazies did come out of the woodwork. Stahl thats him that night, shaved head and whiskey bottle at his side. He stayed in his store to guard it and posted this video on facebook. Raymond so anyway, obviously, i received numerous Death Threats today. I really bleep appreciate that. I think thats bleep classy. Thats a great thing for gun rights when you threaten to shoot somebody. Stahl he thinks the campaign against him was viral, not organized by the gun lobby. Though, in his rant, he wondered why gun lovers and the National Rifle association would oppose the sale of any gun. Raymond how can the n. R. A. Or people want to prohibit a gun when were supposed to be pro gun . Were supposed to say that any gun is good, in the right persons hands. How can they say that a gun should be prohibited . How hypocritical is that . If you believe in the Second Amendment, and the Second Amendment is absolute that the right of people to keep and bears arms shall not be infringed then you should be able to buy whatever you want. Stahl what andy didnt realize is that theres a long, beleaguered history to these devices. 15 years ago, gun maker smith and wesson promised the Clinton White house to develop smart guns as part of a deal to fend off liability litigation. Bill clinton under the agreement, smith and wesson will develop smart guns that can be fired only by the adults who own them. Stahl the gun lobby organized a boycott against smith and wesson, seeing smart guns and other concessions in the deal as part of the gun control agenda. Factories closed, employees were laid off, and after that, no big u. S. Gun maker ever went near a smart gun. Steve sanetti theres a lot. Lot of skepticism and a lot of resistance to them. Stahl steve sanetti, president of the gun lobby and trade group the National Shooting sports foundation, represents over 12,000 gun makers, dealers, and businesses. Does your organization see the smart gun as gun control . Sanetti people that own guns are not the ones saying, im the one that wants this. Please develop it. Its coming from the gun control side. Its coming from people who, frankly, really want to put as many obstacles to a gun going off as they can. Stahl why are dealers who want to sell it, why are they being intimidated not to . Why not let the market decide . People dont want it, dont buy it. Sanetti well, i agree. We think the market should be able to decide that. We have never fought the idea that dealers can put them on the shelves. Its totally up to the marketplace and the dealers. Stahl so where is that fight coming from . Sanetti thats the point. People dont understand the passion that firearms owners have for the firearms that they own. Stahl the passion has been fueled by the n. R. A. , which says on its legislative web site, smart guns could open the door to a ban on all other guns. Why do they say that . Well, its actually happened. In 2002, new jerseys governor signed a law that became known as the mandate. Sanetti there is a statute in the state of new jersey that would say that, once a gun like this is offered for sale anywhere, thats the only kind of gun that could be sold. Stahl if these guns are sold in wyoming or california, this triggers the law . Sanetti uhhuh. Stahl that everybody in new jersey has to have that. Sanetti right. Stahl Loretta Weinberg, the new jersey state senator who authored the law, didnt foresee its consequences. Loretta weinberg we passed that bill to help spur this technology. Stahl it appears it totally backfired because it spurred this passionate objection to the gun. Weinberg because of the intervention of the n. R. A. And the Second Amendment folks. Stahl . That they say the reason they intervened is because of the mandate. Weinberg right. It isnt the law thats stopped the development. It is the people who threatened folks who actually wanted to sell such a gun. Stahl andy raymond came to realize that, even if he had sold the armatix gun in maryland, it mightve triggered the mandate, banning the sale of regular handguns in new jersey. Raymond the people of new jersey my apologies. You got nothing to worry about from me. I did apologize. Im. Im sorry. Sorry to this day. Stahl did you actually sell any of the armatix guns . Raymond no. Stahl after his case came to her attention, the new jersey senator offered to rescind the mandate if the gun lobby publicly removed its opposition to smart guns. Shes yet to hear back. Weinberg they seem to oppose almost everything. Anytime we suggest anything, weve gotten very little cooperation back. Stahl if the law were completely repealed, do you think that the gun lobby would then let this go forward . Weinberg no. Sanetti why are you trying to take my firearm, which i store safely and properly and ive never had problems with it, and add something to it thats going to make it more prone to failure . Stahl what about the argument that we have seat belts. We have air bags, theyre mandatory. Sanetti uhhuh. Stahl why not make a safe gun mandatory . Sanetti firearms are safe. The firearms manufacturers include appropriate locking devices for their guns along with them when theyre shipped. They may be low tech, but they work. Stahl he says adding high tech to guns may make them less safe. For example, the batteries that operate the smart guns. Sanetti weve all had batteryoperated devices where the battery dies. Stahl so the people who are working on this tell us that the batteries will have a tenyear life. Sanetti what about the 11th year . Stahl well, you change the battery. Sanetti if you remember, if. Stahl no, youre going to get a warning. Sanetti if the gun is stored inside a cabinet, or a box, or a safe or Something Like that, you might not see the warning. Stahl other concerns will fingerprints work in snow and rain . Will they work if youre sweating because an intruder entered your home . Could guns using Wireless Technology be hacked, or jammed and disabled remotely by the government . Sanetti we have to be careful not to fall into the technology trap. It doesnt solve every problem. Its great. Were not luddites, were not here saying that technology is a bad thing. Technology obviously improves our life in many ways. But i think you have to look at firearms in a slightly different way. Their mechanisms are the way they are over centuries of development. Theyre. Theyre at that state now that the Consumers Want them, and in the United States, theres a lot of tradition involved firearms. People like guns of the old west, they like them the way Davie Crockett used them, they like them the way they were used years ago. Stahl that was the case a decade and a half ago, as Jonathan Mossberg found out. He had left his familys gun making business, mossberg and sons, and invented a smart gun that works in conjunction with a ring. Do i get. Get my own, right . Jonathan mossberg yeah, you get your own ring. Stahl the ring has a tiny computer chip inside a black stone which transmits a signal. When its close to the trigger, it unlocks the gun. Mossberg alternatively, if i were to grab it, you know, nothing happens. Stahl mossbergs gun was ready to sell 13 years ago, but. Mossberg people werent really. There was some market, but not enough, so we decided not to sell it. Stahl and has something changed . Mossberg yes. We all started living with these evil things, and so we became comfortable trusting it. They guide us to our destinations. They make sure were okay for meetings, and theyre extremely reliable. Stahl he thinks that todays young parents, comfortable with technology, are a ripe market. And Silicon Valley agrees. Ron conway this is going to happen outside the gun industry. Why they arent doing research and investing in this baffles me. Stahl ron conway, one of the early investors in facebook and google, is now looking for, he says, the Mark Zuckerberg of guns. He has funded at least 15 smart gun inventors, including those involved in the two guns we tested. Are you thinking that, if the gun manufacturers dont come along, that theyre going to be like kodak . Conway absolutely. Stahl this is what youre saying. Conway yes kodak and polaroid all wrapped in one. You cannot stop innovation. And this is an area where innovation is taking over. Stahl are you not worried about the politics of this whole issue . Conway i think, for technology and innovation, we have to ignore politics. Stahl can you . Conway of course you can. Stahl but when it comes to guns, its all about politics. Just ask andy raymond. Raymond i got caught up in the middle of something that was way beyond me, way beyond my capabilities, and got caught between two sides that. I mean, it was just. I will never, ever, ever touch anything else like that ever, ever again. Stahl as of today, you cannot find a smart gun to buy in the United States. Senator Loretta Weinberg told us that she plans to ask the new Jersey State Legislature to repeal the mandate, but replace it with a demand that dealers display at least one smart gun in their stores. Question is, will dealers be too gunshy . If this gun does take off, would you sell it . Raymond absolutely not. Stahl ever . Raymond i would rather be shot by a smart gun than sell one. Stahl shortly after it was introduced, new Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed senator weinbergs new smartgun bill. But president obama has announced a federal commitment to jumpstart the deployment of smart gun technology, involving the departments of justice, defense, and homeland security. Preponderance cbs money watch update sponsored by ninan good evening. Iran says it has reached a deal to buy 100 planes from boeing pending approval from the u. S. Government.

Com stahl while investigators are trying to get to the bottom of what happened in orlando, there is still a significant gap in what the u. S. Government will reveal about 9 11. The white house and intelligence officials are in the final stages of reviewing one of the countrys most sensitive and secret documents to determine whether it can be declassified and released to the public. As steve kroft first reported in april, the 28 pages have to do with the possible existence of a saudi support network for some of the 9 11 hijackers while they were in the United States. For 13 years, the 28 pages have been locked away in a secret vault. Only a small group of people have ever seen them. Tonight, you will hear from some of the people who have read them and believe, along with the families of 9 11 victims, that they should be declassified. Senator bob graham i think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didnt speak english, most of whom had never been in the United States before, many of whom didnt have a High School Education couldve carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States.
