MIT Student Tackles Gun Violence in America with “Smart Gun” Prototype (VIDEO)
After hearing about the increase in news reports of gun violence and firearms-related crimes in his home state of Colorado, the US based teen Kai Kloepfer decided to build a ‘smart gun’ that would prevent accidental shootings, thefts, suicides, and wrongful use.
A key catalyst for Kloepfer was in fact the Aurora movie theatre shooting killing 12 people in 2012. He decided to pursue the idea of manufacturing a ‘smart gun’ as part of his school science fair project and it has since become a life quest.
An undergraduate at MIT, Kloepfer, 19 has spent considerable time and energy reaching his ‘smart gun’ project to prototype stages and is now pushing the next steps towards being able to fund, mass produce and then sell his concept into the wider market.
