The gun unlocks only for an authorized user by incorporating built-in fingerprint and facial-recognition sensors — just like a smartphone.

At a firing range in an industrial section of Broomfield, Colorado, near Denver, Kai Kloepfer loads a 9-millimeter pistol and pulls the trigger.

"That's really the key part," Kloepfer says as he lowers the gun."As soon as I put this down, it's going to lock." A few years later, in 2016, Kloepfer left his engineering and business studies at MIT and founded BioFire. The company is currently focused on guns for home defense. Marketing videos on the company website show pistols perched on shelves in living rooms and kitchens.

"My mission is, firearms are now one of the leading causes of death for children, teenagers in America. And that's not something that any gun owner I've ever talked to wants, right? Nobody wants a kid to find their gun," he said. "The gun is a completely closed, local, hardened system," Kloepfer says."So there's no WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, any sort of radio communications of any kind. It's impossible to remotely compromise the gun in any way. There's no 'kill switch' the government has or anything like that."
