Sure and how will the ATF be able to tell if your chip is a semi chip or
a full auto chip if used by a person with the right authentication...?
The ATF is not known for its technical expertise. Interesting eh? Semi

right key code.....right up until your ATF agent decides to fry your gun
with a taser....
