In many states, children under some age are prohibited from using firearms. There is substantial evidence to show that firearms pose a real and present harm to individual children and large groups.
An excellent rider to the KIDS act would be to mandate the installation of age (that is, identity) verification to all firearms in order to disable the safety.
Motor vehicles are very dangerous too, including higher-power e-bikes.
Lock those out too unless you can provide digital ID (and a high enough social credit score) each time you attempt to start them.
It is hard to tell if this is a joke based on the username. There are people with this perspective though I assume. Thus I will respond to it.
It's worth noting OP's proposed technology is impossibly far from existing in practice. Importantly, there are at least half a billion citizen-owned firearms in the USA without this theoretical technology, already. Therefore we should focus on something more effective. Such as better mental health treatment, bullying prevention, gang prevention, or any other precursors to violent behavior.
I think they may have meant it as a poison pill.
Fun fact: Most firearms don't have a manual safety that you disengage.
