Smart guns are firearms equipped with advanced technology that enhances safety and security. They often include features like fingerprint recognition or RFID (radio-frequency identification) systems, which allow only authorized users to fire the weapon. This technology aims to reduce accidental shootings and gun violence by preventing unauthorized access. The development of smart guns has sparked discussions about gun control and public safety. Advocates argue that these weapons could help save lives, while critics raise concerns about reliability and potential hacking. Companies and researchers continue to explore ways to improve smart gun technology and its integration into the broader firearms market.
