The US should mandate every gunshot be accompanied by a loud ultrasonic tone that can easily identify the occurrence to any recording device. The tone could eventually be modulated with the guns serial number.

  Of course it doesn’t concern them. They’re an ideologue.

  If I’m understanding your reply, you seem to think that it should be obvious to anyone with an understanding of how guns work, that this idea wouldn’t work/isn’t feasible/is a bad idea in some other way. So, wouldn’t it be more productive and informative to state that opinion and support it?

    It’s a lot like saying knives should be required to emit such a sound. A knife is a purely mechanical device, there’s no good way to require an electronic device in a way that won’t be ripped off by every criminal immediately. In the same way, you can’t DRM trigger pulls. Further, this loud tone would require enough power that you’re talking about replaceable batteries. Those batteries can be removed.

  I read the comment you're replying to as being satire/sarcasm, given how outrageous it is.

    I read it as referencing the never-enforced firing pin microstamping law that California passed in 2007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstamping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstamping

How would that work anyway? It's not something someone would notice you disabling when you go to the range, unlike full auto/DIAS conversions and short barrels where someone might notice, you literally can't notice unless you have an ultrasonic detector. Are there going to be ATF agents hanging out at ranges trying to see loose wires hanging out of people's guns or guns that don't produce ultrasonic noises when fired? I assume that's not going to happen. Anyway, it's not legal to ban guns without the ultrasonic speakers anyway, because there's no way the military is going to have ones that can't be turned of on their guns. No historical precedent for anything like that either, and ~all of current guns don't have ultrasonic speakers on them, so the Heller "common use" thing is there as well.
