> gunsmiths are not ordered to go substantially out of their way to prevent criminals from using them

Uh... https://www.nationalreview.com/2016/05/smart-gun-police-gun-...

There actually had been some attempts to make smart guns mandatory while not completely working out all of their "kinks" yet. But to your point they actually have attempted this, to some degree. At first they were thinking only to prevent police from having their weapons used against them, but they had attempted to expand the scope. Although after the cops didn't want it either and the push for them seems to have waned.
