Walking out with a phone? Everybody knows where you had been for the entire year with a precision of minutes.

Walking out with a covered assault riffle? nobody can know the position of a shooter; in what roof they climb, how much closer to the president they are, or in what class of the school that weapon is currently located. Is as ridiculous as that.

In a world when your car, TV, even your toaster, is calling home; the war weapons shouldn't have the right to remain occult to the police. Not unless they are being used on a real war. Acting in that area seems more efficient than spy every frustrated adolescent on internet.

This would work assuming the governing and policing system is to be trusted. The reason fire arms purchased with the intent for self defense already demonstrates you don’t.

Not to mention the possibility someone dupes a firearms ID and negates the system.

The idea that you need to buy a fire weapon to self defense against hypothetical encounter with a bad policeman is plain stupid. Do you know what really could help for self-defense against police? A good lawyer. A pistol will just grant that you will die like a dog for no reason.

So after the hypothetical policeman is done doing some hypothetical wrong doing ( assault and the other one ) then I should call my lawyer? There’s more than just the scenario of a policeman writing a ticket that I can dispute with the judge.
