The conservative government of Canada has just put forth legislation to put an end to the long gun registry. I have car, it is perfectly fine that it registered. So is it fine that my phone SIM card has an entry to database such that my name is identified should the phone be used for wrongdoing. Regarding the use of fire arms, it is only sensible for a tool to kill animals, or blow apart flying clay discs, or shoot a person, not be treated like a shovel or a pen. Although the argument can be made for axes, or kitchen knives, the use of a firearm is clear that it is used to cause harm and intimidate.
As an alternative compliment to the gun control registry, I propose the use of a modern technology such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags to monitor the location of fire arms. For example, all new and existing firearms could have a tags located inside the firearm and such that it could be made illegal to modify a weapon to remove its tag.
Such tags would permit the police to monitor the location (within limited distance) of weapons, as well as identify the possibility of threats should a gun be present.
Some refinements into this proposal still needs work, and I welcome your comments.
