BTW, you can turn that stuff off (which I did months ago, and my article is over a year younger than yours). https://www.wired.com/story/google-location-tracking-turn-off/
So who owns guns in America? Who is against gun control? What is the real debate about? It's politics. The right owns guns. The right is against gun control. It isn't the constitution or patriotism. Like abortion, it's POLITICS pure and simple.
The gun banners will use those steps to create a de facto gun ban. Thats what they have done with safety permits, storage permits, purchase permits, and carry permits. No to all your "steps", which are really just gun ban components.
this will only burden the law-abiding and in no way will have any meaningful impact on violent crime.
ridiculous. criminals, the people responsible for violent crime, won’t bat an eye. this polyanna plan will only burden the law abiding.
criminals by definition are people who choose to disobey the law. there is already a law against murdering people... a law that was ignored, by criminals, 17,250 times in 2016. in order to prove that gun control measures have any merit, you’ll have to explain how you propse to get 17,250 people who have committed the worst crime there is to suddenly start obeying your onerous gun laws.
It works in places that have done it and have rule of law. There is a simple test. Name a large city, state or country with lax gun laws and low gun deaths. LOL
