1. A firearm trigger locking system for a firearm having a trigger extending from a firearm body, the firearm trigger locking system comprising:
an authentication system configured for selectively locking the trigger, the authentication system comprising:
an actuator in communication with a central processing unit that is activatable by the central processing unit when an identification component recognizes a stored authorization key;
a trigger interference member moveable by the actuator between a first position of the trigger interference member, and a second position of the trigger interference member; and
a block moveable by the actuator from a first position of the block in connection with the trigger interference member to a second position of the block in connection with the trigger interference member when the identification component recognizes the stored authorization key, wherein the block is physically separate from the trigger interference member.
