Just read an article in my local paper that there's some state representative in Massachusetts that wants to pass a law requiring all handguns (maybe even all guns) with a GPS system so in case their stolen they can immediately be tracked "like the police do with cars that have lojack".
This genius concedes that it might be "kind of expensive" but "worth it to insure more people aren't killed with stolen guns". I think he even implied that the law could be imposed retroactively on existing gun owners, who would be required to have their guns fitted with such devices.
Looks like it's time for me to move to a free state.
BTW - its worth noting that although this state has among the most restrictive handgun laws in the country - and a number of top quality handguns are banned outright, including all H&K's, all Colts, all Kimbers, all Les Baers, Ed Browns, etc. we've been having serious gang violence problems and a large number of recent shootings - almost all by illegal handguns.
What's the politician's reactions - to blame NH, Vermont, Georgia, Florida, etc for our handgun violence. Nevermind that this position seems to conflict with the theory that all handgun violence is the product of in-state guns that have been stolen (hence the need for GPS tracking).
Frankly, rather than installing GPS units in handguns, how about surgically implanting some kind of stun gun/polygraph in our politicians that zaps them every time they try to bull**** us. I realize this would be "kind of expensive", but think it would be worth every penny. I'd even be willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars more in state tax to fund this program.
