Sure,
Let them start tracking the guns, and everyone can have as many as they want.
I already have mine, which will not be getting chips put on them.

That'll work until I drop the whole weapon into my sonic cleaner with an acid bath.
They could try though.... It would be interesting to watch them make the arguments for how it would work. They couldn't be more absurd than the arguments for micro-stamping ammunition.

Make more, obviously. THE "gun problem" today is all the good weapons are sold out!

It's a good thought and the legal gun owners would be tracked. Here is the problem the illegal gun owners would not be. If a device can be put in it can also be taken out. They already remove the serial numbers. Therefore the problem has not been solved save to monitor the the legal guns. Now this may help if a gun is stolen and used by an idiot but in actuality most criminals are not idiots. Guns can be broken down to the smallest parts and that leave no place to put the chip. Now if they could make the chip so it could handle the heat maybe putting it in the barrel might work as taking it out would leave the barrel too thin to fire properly but I am sure they could work around that as well.

Enough guns have sold in the last few weeks....added to the 270 million already in private hands...so they could outlaw the sale tomorrow at Noon and no one who cares for one will be without for generations. Likewise on Ammo. So.. Chipping new guns? lol.... I'll really be amused when they wonder why suddenly, the gun sales go from records to almost flat sales with no one wanting any. Errr...... Who needs more and how many can one man shoot?

Well, the purpose of the idea is to let civilians keep their guns if optained legally, under some parameters.
