I'm sorry, I thought you were making fun of me personally because of my "wacko" statement about 100% traceability of firearms. I've had a tough week and a half so far with the FDA at our company and all. Damn Biennial inspections!
Just saying that there has to be a better way isn't an answer to my question. I'd like to hear some ideas about how we can know the whereabouts of every firearm in the US without infringing on the right to privacy. Who's going to pay for it?
Firearms are not my forte, but for instance, there's got to be a way to identify a firearm such that someone can't erase the ID number. In addition, make future firearms such that if this permanent ID number is tampered with, the weapon will not fire, with the "key" replacement parts coming from the manufacturer only (like certain car radios). And possibly put all gun owners data into a central country wide (Federal) database for ALL law enforcement agencies having access. If you're not a criminal, you have nothing to hide, right? As for who will pay for this future technology, the people in this country are already paying, paying in violent crime and loss of lives.
