RFID is passive

You’d have to light us up to get anything outside of 25 feet.
I can build a detector to find your detector.

Like microstamping, I suspect it'd be easy to make a smart gun dumb.

I think the author is a little vague on terminology.

RFID is more or less strictly for ID, as it says. True RFID has no internal power, so it’s pretty difficult for it to effectively control something like a switch or solenoid. Remote control, while it no doubt incorporates ID, must go well beyond it to function.

the RFID might be passive, but the RFID signature it’s looking for before enabling could be updated remotely

if all guns in a block were RFID enabled smart guns, the fedgov could issue a signal that would disable all guns receiving it

My friends are mostly engineers. I would think they could take a smart gun and make it into real gun would not take them very long.
