Despite rapid
advances in technologies in recent years, there are few readily available firearms that utilize these
new technologies to help guard against unauthorized access and use. The President is directing
the Attorney General to work with technology experts to review existing and emerging gun
safety technologies, and to issue a report on the availability and use of those technologies. In
addition, the Administration will issue a challenge to the private sector to develop innovative and
cost-effective gun safety technology and provide prizes for those technologies that are proven
to be reliable and effective.
