1. An authentication system configured for selectively locking a trigger on a firearm, the authentication system comprising:
an actuator in communication with a central processing unit that is activatable by the central processing unit based on a stored authorization key;
a trigger interference member moveable by the actuator between an interference position and a non-interference position; and
a block moveable by the actuator from a first position relative to the trigger interference member to a second position relative to the trigger interference member, wherein the block is physically separate from the trigger interference member.
