"Revolutionary 'Smart Gun' with Fingerprint Unlocking System Now Available"
Biofire, a Colorado-based gun-making firm, has launched the world's first "smart gun" with a fingerprint unlocking system that prevents unauthorized people from firing it. The 9mm handgun unlocks in less than a second using either a fingerprint or facial recognition sensor, then quickly locks again when it's no longer in use. The innovation could help prevent everything from school shootings to accidents and suicides, according to the company. The gun is available for pre-order with a refundable $149 deposit, and orders are expected to be completed in early 2024.
