Thread: Could we do more

Labour MP's reckon "the horse has bolted" for gun registration but can't see why new guns couldnt be micro chipped and kept in a database.

I'm curious where you would put a micro chip in a gun?

Down the barrel of course!
Plenty of length to deposit said microchip.
Then the next deer you shot, wouldn't get lost - Labour would find it for you - at great cost - so they could put another one, where the last one was

It's probably not completely unworkable, except that no manufacturers currently embed id microchips in their stocks/grips/whatever, and it's also completely devoid of purpose, and all guns already come with unique identifying marks that anyone can remove if they've got an angle grinder, so a more expensive and complicated version of the same thing doesn't actually seem to have a point

Numbers stamped into steel go very deep and you can grind/file them off, but they can be read again, I think they can be etched up

A few seconds in the microwave will kill a microchip

Interesting what things you can learn here. Of course, getting a rifle or shotgun in a microwave may prove problematic.

There are ways around that little problem, and a useful side effect is the possibility of a significant reduction in the ability of the person doing it to reproduce.......

Imagine if they started doing that micro chipping guns in the States. The heavily armed Jesus loving survivalists would have a melt down .

Personally, I haven't shot anyone lately, so I don't think I need to do more
