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

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