Think all police should carry them so I can know where I can and cannot speed.

So Ice comes from Iceland.
Finns come from Finland.

What comes from Maryland?

Solar powered and rechargeable I presume. LOL

I dunno why people are calling this science fiction because it’s not even all that complicated. Does anyone on here have a Pikepass or a parking pass downtown? You could easily embed the same passive RFID technology from that little plastic card in the frame of a polymer gun. It’s actually really common in shipping because it lets operators know what’s in a box without opening in up. Once you did that to guns you could put RFID scanners in your buildings, on your roads, etc. and they would pick up on the presence of a gun and even tell you some info about it. That is wild.

But removing it would have to render the gun useless. Also easy to block.

Go try to remove the wire from your Pikepass and tell me how that goes. If I were gonna do it I would install the wire in the polymer frame so that removing it would slice the gun like a little cheese wheel and it would pass through the serial number and destroy them. Then the person could try and but it back together but it would absolutely wreck your gun to do that and it would make it impossible to sell the gun. To your second point, the scanner on a door at the office is weak, the scanner at Walmart is medium, and the scanner on the highway for your Pikepass is strong. If you put the one from the highway in your office it would be a different story. All of these are things that wouldn’t deter hardened criminals but the point of the legislation is to make bulk gun sales easier to track. I’m not really taking an impassioned stance here, my main point is that the technology already exists.
