sounds like that film judge dread, except its real.

I only have one opinion when it comes to rfid chips, weather its on a wrist band for a festival, embeded in your phone or in your clothes apparently is the new trend...microwave the sucker.

They are going to make it harder and harder for gun owners and future gun owners, they already are going after the bullets.

start stockpiling your ammo and guns sooner than later.


as to rfid thing, been looking into small broad spectrum signal jammers (cell, radio, etc), seems like that could be an investment.

That chip is going to give the same data that they could get by running the gun's serial number. So if your gun is stolen, they will know it is yours even if the serial number is filed off.

That depends on the state.

There is no registry in NH so that serial number isnt tied to anything but a form in a basement file cabinet of the shop you bought the gun from.

The article goes on to state that the RFID chip can be re-written many times over which makes the "anti-theft" concept null and void.

There's also the reality that often times a recovered firearm is never returned to the rightful owner even when it's blindingly obvious who the owner is. Police crap ties the gun up and the owner never sees it again.

In an ideal world with once-written chips and honest, efficient police I would agree with the recovery concept. But in this world it's a non-starter.

wont be long until the ATF makes this another one of their regulations....because of violence on the border....but dont worry they only plan to introduce "common sense" measures as old J carney says

Maybe I'm just too Canadian, but what's the big deal if a gun has an unerasable imprint? I can see some real benefits to this, such as being able to trace guns in the illegal arms trade back to the people who let it go and maybe actually get some *real* progress in stopping illegal arms in Africa and places like that. I register my guns and keep them safely locked away, out of the hands of children or adults who have not been trained in gun safety. This protects them from injury and protects me from liability.
