This article pertains to military weapons, but rest assured this will be the next battle firearms owners will be facing.

Sadly you are probably correct.

What will all of the radio emissions do to the lakes, rivers and oceans that hold so many of our firearms?

Probably make them easier to recover after an accident.

I'm sure that the no goodnicks will be the first to comply.

Micro-stamping failed.  States that approved micro-stamping (the only one I know of is Cali), now have gun manufacturers that won't comply with that law, and no longer sell their firearms in that state.  The only people affected by that are the law-abiding citizens of Cali.

Just so it's out there, the Army has been doing something "similar" for years - before I got out.  Just scan tags on the guns, and purely for inventory purposes.  Make weapons inventory faster, instead of TWO SOLDIERS visually confirming every single serial number on every weapon.  Just barcode scan tags, with a scanner, like in a grocery store.

Scan tags sound great.l for the inventory purpose.  RFID does not. However, I don’t know how easy it is to pick up on an RFID tag from a distance.

I'm just wondering if the original quoted article is blown out of proportion...  "News heard something, so it must BE..."

RFID tags can be peeled off easily.  I'm just sayin'.  We do it all the time when we buy something, and that annoying fatass sticker is on what we just bought.  And we didn't "beep" when we left the store...

I save them - to stick on something else.

Then comes the “law” that RFID tags must be incorporated into the frame of the gun
