Gongratulations, I now have two additional guns in my house.
How would the manufacturer be able to properly test your gun?
How would a gunsmith be able to service your gun?
It will never happen......

Because it's not that simplistic.
A computer has a passkey, but you can authorize multiple users. You lock your bags at the airport but TSA has an override key.
They can grandfather existing guns, so no one loses the guns they have, but new guns must have a safety lock that uses biometrics. The biometrics can have up to 3 authorized users plus an override for testing/police usage. The override is a lengthy procedure, say as an example, engage the manual safety, pull the trigger twice, release the safety, expel a round, then the gun the gun is enabled for one live shot.
Point is not to say that would be it but that there are possible solutions, that we use in other parts of life and could be adapted to a gun safety process so that, without infringing on the right to bear arms, which is one of the most vital ones imo, you can prevent accidental harm. That would be a good thing.
Cars right now, use that type of override procedure for things like resetting electronic tire pressure gauges and check engine lights. Cell phones and baggage locks have override systems in place so that the government can use them with proper warrants.
Instead of saying no it won't happen, why not look for a way that your rights and enjoyment can continue, while addressing safety and danger concerns.
