  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
  
      Congress finds as follows:
              (1) It is in the interest of the United States to protect 
          its citizens from handgun violence and accidental firearm 
          deaths.
              (2) Personalizing handguns would prevent unauthorized 
          users, whether children, criminals, or others, from misusing 
          the weapons.
              (3) Personalizing handguns would allow authorized users to 
          continue to lawfully own and use their handguns more safely.
              (4) In 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 
          there were 851 accidental firearm deaths.
              (5) In 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control, 
          62 people under the age of 15 were killed accidentally with 
          firearms.
              (6) According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, 
          almost 350,000 incidents of firearm theft from private citizens 
          occur each year.
              (7) According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 45 
          law enforcement officers were killed with their own firearm 
          between 2002 and 2011.
              (8) According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
          almost half of all murders in the United States in 2011 were 
          committed with handguns.

target: Handgun Trigger Safety Act of 2014 - Requires the Director of the National Institute of Justice to make one-year grants to qualified entities (states or local governments, organizations, or institutions of higher education) to develop technology for personalized handguns (a handgun that is manufactured to enable only the authorized user to fire it). Provides that a recipient shall use at least 70% of the grant amount to develop technology for personalized handguns and may use not more than 20% to develop technology for retrofitted personalized handguns and not more than 10% for administrative costs.  Prohibits any person: (1) beginning two years after enactment of this Act, from manufacturing in the United States a handgun that is not a personalized handgun; or (2) beginning three years after enactment of this Act, from distributing in commerce any handgun that is not a personalized handgun or a retrofitted personalized handgun. Exempts antique firearms and firearms distributed or sold to the Department of Defense (DOD). Provides for the enforcement of such prohibitions by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and by the states. Requires a handgun manufacturer, upon request of the owner of a handgun manufactured in the United States that is not a personalized handgun or a retrofitted personalized handgun, to retrofit the handgun and return it to the owner within a reasonable period of time as established by the CPSC. Makes the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund available to the Attorney General for payments to reimburse handgun manufacturers for the costs of retrofitting handguns.  Amends the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to exclude from the definition of "qualified product" any handgun manufactured after two years after enactment of this Act that is not a personalized handgun or retrofitted personalized handgun.
