Only seems reasonable if they find a way to do it that would compromise the action if it was tampered with. Serial#not enough.

@TheReal_LoPan Agree. I'm just sort of thinking out loud but it seems like it'd be a way to track certain threats. -
@emptywheel I know. Me too. It's not retroactive or global. Maybe less focus on the weapon, more on the ammunition? -
@TheReal_LoPan Right. Not prohibit them, but make it easier to ID where stockpiles of concern were, to check out.

@emptywheel other than by radar signature off of the metal? -
@lib_ertarian_ No idea. Just asking. Point would be to ID stockpiles, make it harder to use all at once. -
@emptywheel embed rfid in plastic stocks mebe, but ppl wd just replace them. cant put in metal -
@lib_ertarian_ Is there something besides RFID that would work in metal? Or RFID that would alert if tampered? -
@emptywheel re#2 no. whole point of rfid is its passive. active anti tamper monitoring costs energy. hard to make one that works -
@emptywheel re #1 wd take mucho r&d and i have no clue.

@emptywheel Are "large collections if guns" illegal? -
@danstew13 No. Neither are phone calls. But FBI tracks suspicious patterns in those.

@emptywheel It's hard enough to get cattle ranchers to tag their stock. So it'd be "cold, dead hands" something something. -
@dcrockett17 For the same reason! So no one can track their e coli back to particular treatment. - End of conversation

@emptywheel Yes, but that could be disabled or blocked. Better still leave something that emitted loads of such signals as a "prank."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
