Just what kind of fool proof technology do you propose for this "100% traceability" fairy tale you believe in? How are you going to put this device on all of those guns which are already in the hands of criminals? I doubt that they will just show up at the police station.[/b]1) I'd appreciate if you're going to quote me, you use a direct quote. I don't remember using the words "Blah, blah, blah". Even Madman wouldn't sink as low.
2) If we as a country can put a man of the moon, I'm sure somebody (with government intervention if necessary) could come up with a better system for the traceability of firearms. What it all boils down to is just how important is it to the American public to keep firearms out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them? Please don't bring up the same tired argument of comparing firearms to knives, baseball bats, or other objects that can be used to kill, it's much easier to stop a criminal who has a knife or bat, instead of an assault weapon.
