The world’s first “smart gun” hit the market Thursday, complete with a life-saving fingerprint unlocking system that prevents “unauthorized” people such as kids and criminals from firing it.
The cutting-edge 9mm handgun locks out everybody except the owner and users specifically approved by the owner — technology that could improve gun safety in America, according to reps from the gun-making firm Biofire.
“Right now it seems like the entire country is always processing a new tragedy involving children and guns,” the Colorado-based firm’s CEO Kai Kloepfer told The Post. “We are offering a real solution, at a time when solutions seem very hard to come by.”
The $1,499 gun 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.
As gun control legislation remains largely stalled in the US, the innovation could help prevent everything from school shootings to accidents and suicides, reps from the company said.

Nope.
Really? How surprising.
SOOOOOOOOO—Breakin in family home.
Gun has ONLY father’s fingerprints to operate.
None of kids or wife can pick up gun & use it.
SOOOOOOOO-—does this lead to EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE HOUSEHOLD NEEDING A “FINGERPRINT” GUN????
“...please contact our customer service between 8 and 5 Central time...”
AND - it will be a Call Center in Asia somewhere with someone barely able to speak English. Count on it.

Brandon’s SS detail should use it too show us all just how great it is.
A certain protection detail should be provided these to use exclusively.
Then you use the facial recognition to activate the gun (which will take even longer). Hopefully, all that blood is not from just having had your attacker smash your face.
Lock up the criminals and deport all the illegal alien gangs.
That will put a dent in gun crime.
“The $1,499 gun unlocks in less than a second, using either a fingerprint or facial recognition sensor..”
And if your fingers and face are bloody it’s a very expensive poorly designed club.

Anyhow, nobody in their right mind would buy one of these contraptions. They are doomed to failure and disaster. These are simply wet dream inventions for antigun politicians, tyrants, and criminals.
No serious gun person is going to buy this. Who is their target market?
“He claimed the developers were aiming for only one segment of the market”
Law-abiding citizens?
“technology that could improve gun safety in America” or get you killed when it doesn’t work.
In LICENCE TO KILL, James Bond (Timothy Dalton) is given a special rifle...It could only be used by Bond...Q programmed the gun...There is a fingerprint sensor on the rifle...
“The $1,499 gun 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”
Umm 1 second can get an attacker 30 feet closer - and “quick relock” might mean you’re lucky to get lone shot off if you wait to verify if the 1st shot was effective.
