During Barack Obama's town hall event hosted by Anderson Cooper on the Cable News Network Thursday evening, the president encouraged the use of “smart guns” that are designed to be fired only if the owner has a chip in a band or bracelet that prevents anyone -- from children to criminals -- from using the firearm.

However, the Democratic official failed to mention that he was the top recipient of campaign cash in 2008 and 2012 from the “smart gun” manufacturing industry, which stands to benefit from an influx of millions of dollars from his executive action calling for more research into the technology.
