Biofire's Biometric 'Smart Gun' Release
Biofire, a Colorado-based startup, is set to release America’s first biometric “smart gun” that fires only when gripped by authorized users. The gun is designed to prevent unauthorized access, particularly by children, and is receiving mixed reactions from firearm enthusiasts and skeptics. Gun control advocates see biometric technology as a way to reduce gun violence, while gun-rights advocates are wary of potential government mandates. The company has raised over $37 million in funding and plans to release the smart guns to investors and paid customers in the coming months.
