The Rise of Fingerprint-Activated Smart Guns in the US

Biofire, a Colorado-based gun-making firm, has developed a smart gun that uses a fingerprint unlocking system to prevent unauthorized use. The gun is equipped with technology that requires the owner to register their fingerprint on the gun, allowing only the authorized user to unlock it. The smart gun can reduce accidental shootings, gun theft, and the use of firearms by criminals. The Biofire smart gun is expected to hit the market in 2024 and can be pre-ordered for $1,499 with a refundable $149 deposit.
