The goal of it is to make firearms to expensive for the average person to purchase. The modifications the firearm manufacturers would have to do to the guns would increase prices by 3 fold at least. That would put alot of gun manufacturers out of business.
Still not seeing what this has to do with a spent shell casing? Nothing at all has to be modified on the gun for someone to pick up a casing that has already been shot and say "you know, i think it would be a good idea to put a s/n on this". Same for if they want to do it before they sell the ammo. Absolutely no mod to the gun. Ammo yes, gun no and still wont be much help in the gr a nd scheme.
The way I look at it? Fuck them all. The only thing gonna get stamped is the primer and criminal that ends up on the business end the gun. Criminals won't adhere to any of the bullshit regulations and registrations and I won't either.
Well, this is even worse...guy told me, but I can't source it....when trigger is pulled, GPS records date, time, and serial number of cartridge. If device battery expires.....you guessed it, weapon won't fire. Hope this is bs, but I have been thinking about it.
The only thing on my firearm that's gonna have a battery is the laser or red dot sight. They can pass whatever they want but I'm pleading the 2nd.
I have been thinking that instead of all this technology why not require the purchaser of every gun take a safety course before they can take possesion of the gun. If you bought 5 guns over time you still would have to take a course for every one. They could be specialized, ie general gun safety, hunter safety, shotgun safety etc. Make the course say 4-8 hours long, be taught by a NRA certified expert and cover certain required points of gun use and care. Part of the course would be shooting at a fireing range. This would stop purchases of passion,probably impair the ability of unstable people to buy and generally make gun use safer. I remember the gun and hunter safety courses I took at the Boys Club in Phoenix 50 years ago. Many of the lessons are still with me today. Of course this isn't a complete answer but no solution is.
