1. A method for facilitating firearms safety via a multi-factor authentication, the method comprising:
detecting, by an electronic identification module positioned on a secure firearm, presence of a user contact with the secure firearm;
upon detecting the presence of the user contact with the secure firearm, prompting a user, by the electronic identification module, to enter a passcode via a keypad on the secure firearm, to at least identify the passcode entered by the user;
obtaining, by the electronic identification module, a biometric attribute of the user via a biometric sensor on the secure firearm;
determining, by the electronic identification module, if the user is an authorized user based on the passcode entered by the user and the biometric attribute of the user; and
in response to determining that the user is the authorized user enabling the user to access the secure firearm, wherein accessing the secure firearm enables the user to fire ammunition from the firearm.
