Designed and marketed by the Biofire company in Colorado in the United States, the handgun can only unlock after scanning the owner’s face or fingerprints. This ” Smart Gun is now on the market, after ten years of research and development.
While in the country, weapons are the cause of tens of thousands of deaths and injuries each year, this type of gun could allow responsible use of weapons according to its designer. This process could, for example, avoid many domestic accidents, especially if children play with the weapon.
But, on the side of gun advocates, this extra security is irrelevant. It should be added that the price of 1,500 dollars is also a major obstacle while the weapons can be purchased easily for a few hundred dollars.
