"Revolutionary 'Smart Gun' Utilizes Biometric Authentication"

TL;DR Summary
Colorado-based startup Biofire has developed a biometric smart gun that uses facial recognition and fingerprint verification to unlock and shoot. The gun lights up green and turns on when someone authorized to use it picks it up, and turns off when they put it down. The company is accepting pre-orders for the gun, which was developed to reduce gun deaths among children and teenagers. The founder and CEO, Kai Kloepfer, dropped out of MIT to focus full-time on the project, which has received $30 million in venture capital funding.
