A well-known gun company has signed an unprecedented deal with the federal government.
Smith and Wesson agrees to include locks with all its guns and sell only to authorized dealers.
In exchange, the government will drop all lawsuits and promise not to sue Smith and Wesson again.

Jean -- what's strange about this is that Smith & Wesson didn't really give up anything in this deal.
Smith & Wesson already includes these trigger locks with all its guns -- has been for years.
The way this works is you fasten it around the trigger and then, there's no way you can shoot.
