Smart gun will put fingerprint, facial recognition technology to work and more news

Early next year, his company will begin shipping the world's first handgun with an electronic firing system that unlocks instantaneously upon fingerprint or facial verification.This week on How I Built This Lab, how Kai spent the past decade designing a firearm intended to prevent unauthorized use, particularly by children and adolescents. Plus, why past efforts to bring a smart gun to market have failed and an assessment of the changing U.S. gun market.This episode was produced by Casey Herman and edited by John Isabella, with research by Alex Cheng.Our music was composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

This week, we're joined by the man behind the first "smart gun" that's going to come to market. Kai Kloepfer is the founder of Biofire, a company that has been getting a lot of attention since announcing it will ship a 9mm pistol with integrated biometric locks this year. He answered a wide array of different questions on smart guns and the Biofire model in particular. He explained how Biofire intertwines the operation of the firing mechanism with biometrics. Instead of using an electronic device to block a traditional trigger setup, they have eliminated the traditional system to substitute it with a fire-by-wire system. He said that was the only way they found to make the gun lock and unlock quickly enough to be useful for home defense. He also talked at length about how the company has worked to make the gun reliable--a key consideration for most gun owners that will likely determine if the company sinks or swims. He also addressed key political questions. Kloepfer said he believes his gun should be an option for consumers but never mandated. That's why he's filed an amicus letter in the case against California's handgun roster. We also talk about the unique possibilities that a fire-by-wire system opens up for things like adjustable trigger weights, shooting statistics, and even maintenance notifications. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss Congress taking on the pistol-brace ban. And I talk about the setback I just had in obtaining my DC concealed carry license. Special Guest: Kai Kloepfer.

You'll get to pick the color of the frame, the trigger and the magazine release. You can choose a right- or-left hand model and add a custom serial number at no extra charge. Additional magazines are $49 each, and for $99 you can purchase a year of concierge white-glove service, known as “Biofire Care.” “Your Smart Gun will ship in the order it was reserved. Order now to secure your spot in line,” the company promises on its website. But what you can't do is shoot the thing before you plunk down your money, nor can nearly anyone else. Biofire is not allowing independent reviews of its new smart gun, at least not anytime soon. “In the short term, we're not doing that kind of thing yet. We're trying to phase in our engagement with the public on this stuff,” Amy Jasper, Biofire's communication director said Tuesday. “We're hosting product demos on Zoom, interviews with the CEO, and then the next thing we'll host are some onsite range days for folks in the firearm media – allowing folks to put a few rounds through it. After that, we'll be able to send firearms out to do whatever you want with it. It's a phased approach.” (Click Here for Full Article) From www.foxnews.com: A self-identified transgender woman in Ontario, Canada, was arrested Tuesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in a women's shelter. Desiree Anderson, 32, also known as Cody D'Entremont, turned herself in hours after authorities issued a press release and mugshot seeking information on the suspect, according to the Windsor Star. Police began investigating Anderson on April 4 following a report from a woman who claimed the suspect had climbed into bed with her and sexually assaulted her while she was staying a women's shelter in Windsor. Authorities disseminated Anderson's photo on social media at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, and Anderson was in custody shortly after 5 p.m., the outlet reported. (Click Here for Full Article)

Senate Republicans grilled Julie Su over the massive fraud that took place under her watch in a previous post. The first so-called smart gun is set to hit the market by the end of this year.

If you are a gun owner, you know the drill. Keep the gun in a safe. Especially if you have children. What if there was another, better way? In Seattle, during one of our many so-called civil demonstrations, a gun was taken from a law enforcement officer's car. A frightening situation. What if the perpetrator could take the gun, but not be able to use it? It was after another gun-related incident, a school shooting, that the founder of TrueFire, Justin Gant, sought a way to create a fool proof access control device for a firearm. Pretty tough to do since, according to Justin, there have been very innovations in gun design for many years. What happened next? A series of design iterations, testing, and test cases that are getting very close to establishing a standard for preventing an unauthorized use of a weapon, without disrupting the experience of the gun owner and the aesthetics of the gun. “It has to not be there”, said Erik Larson, his cofounder. They are close to imagining a day where no one can access a device that they are unauthorized to use. No more need to lock the gun in a safe. No more frightening incidents around police firearms on the street. We explore their idea, the stage of their design, and their passion for saving the lives of the gun owner, their friends and family, and law enforcement.
