Amusingly enough, Tench Coxe (the guy who wrote the 2nd Amendment) said the only people who could have their rights summarily infringed... were government employees.
This has to be the dumbest bill. It has no application to reality. She's proposing that the state of Maryland bans bulk sale of all guns (>10 at a time) if they don't include a technology that doesn't exist.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A CIVIL OFFENSE
AND SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $2,500.
Lol ok, I was planning to sell 100 rifles to Mexican drug lords but I don't want to risk that $2500 fine so I'll make sure they all have magic tracking devices installed first.
Don't sweat this one too much guys, they will do away with this in short order once tracked guns are "disproportionately" linked to black crimes (it will be literally all of them despite Baltimore only being 89% black).
3D printers go brrr for now. I wonder how long until that will be disabled as well, using some Ai software or some algorithm to detect gun parts being printed. They did something similar with normal printers iirc. Last time I checked you couldn't print bills, even if it was for educational purposes(like for a kid's school project). Dunno if that's still a thing but I would not be surprised.
Obviously it depends on the manufacturer and the board but the community very much opposes this sort of thing. The RepRap ethos still rules for the most part.
You can literally build a 3d printer from parts. Not "Theoretically you could", tons of people have done it. I built my first printer 9 years ago. That scene has died off a bit due to the prevalence of cheap printers like Enders, but it's still there.
Most of the printers that are popular today are standing on the shoulders of those DIY projects.
They really seem to struggle hard with the "shall not be infringed" part of the 2nd amendment.

Do you know where your politician is right now?
Just none of those sold by the ATF to cartels in Mexico for profit...I mean, so they can be..tracked through the cartels for..border reasons??
MGS4 time?
As always, Kojima was decades ahead of us all.
It's scary, isn't it? Braindead patients giving birth is now being talked about too, I wonder when we will have BT's...

I mean, the good news is, this already exists, mostly.
It's called a serial number.

This is not possible because the firmware is open source.
Is the hardware open source entirely?

Jokes on them, I'll 3d print a new 3d printer.
Well, that's good then in that regard. Sounds a lot harder to regulate at least as compared to normal printers where you are just stuck with them.
The bills thing is still the case. There's specific patterns in banknotes that modern printers refuse to render correctly.
Your copier won't copy them
hell not even a 3D printer. ask any bike thief how much of a deterrence tracking chips are. A chisel is all you need.
The bill has that covered. The quantum-super-crypto-tracking smart chip will disable the gun's functionality if it's removed. Checkmate atheists.
