Smart guns
Those who watched 007 Skyfall will remember the part of the movie in which James Bond receives a pistol which could only be used by him, since the gun was programmed to recognized his palmprints. Later in the movie, such technology ended up saving his life when a man tried to unsucessfully use the spy's weapon against him, and it surely made many in the audience think how great it would be if firearms like that really existed. Well, the thing is that they do exist: they are the so-called smart guns.
In a nutshell, smart guns are those which recognize their authorized users by something that only they possess. In the 007 movie, that thing was Bond's biometric data, but there are smart guns that are also programmed to unlock when the user is using an especific kind of watch or ring. Firearms like that wouldn't be of much use to prevent tragedies such as school shootings , since the vast majority of the perpetrators involved in crimes like that use their own legalized guns; however, they would be a great weapon (sorry for the pun) to fight at-home tragedies such as kids firing accidentaly their parents' guns and suicides comitted by relatives or friends of the firearm's owner.
Even though this is the kind of product that could catch many people's eye, it's still very hard to buy a smart gun. Unfortunately, there aren't many companies that offer firearms like that, and for those that do, those guns are usually much more expensive than regular guns with the same features.

Slightly more natural to say "the part of the movie where James Bond receives", not "in which". But this is fine.
Later in the movie, such technology ended up saving his life when a man tried to unsuccessfully to use the spy's weapon against him, and it surely made many in the audience think how great it would be if firearms like that really existed.
"tried to unsuccessfully use" sounds a bit like he wanted to fail, he was trying to fail.

Feedback
Smart guns are a cool idea, but I don't know. If I wanted a gun to protect myself (I don't, and it would be illegal anyway, but I understand the impulse) then I would want a gun I could always trust to work. Pull the trigger and it goes bang, every time. My phone has a fingerprint sensor to unlock it, and it's great - but if I got shot every time that sensor didn't work properly, I'd be a human colander by now. Trusting electronics with your life is a bit scary. I feel the same way about car brakes - but I have no problem flying on aeroplanes, so who knows :)
Very strong writing!
