One of the main advantages of Biofire’s smart guns is that they can dramatically reduce accidental shootings at home.  Last year, the New England Journal of Medicine report revealed that firearm-related accidents, homicides and suicides are the primary cause of death for children and teenagers in the U.S.

In addition, smart guns can also help reduce gun theft. Traditional guns can be stolen and easily sold on the black market, contributing to crime and gun violence. However, smart guns that require biometric or electronic authentication are much harder to steal and use illegally by criminals

How does the new smart gun work? 

This new $1,499 smart gun just hit the market for pre-order. The Biofire 9mm handgun has a fingerprint unlocking system, which basically means that anyone who is not “authorized” cannot shoot the gun.
