One of the reasons why these types of guns are purchased is because they
inflict maximum carnage, but that is not the main reason why they are
purchased. Nearly all of the incidents that have occurred where not purchased
legally. I have no problem with background checks or the time that it would
take for one. I would not be apposed to having these types of guns being
tracked via gps, and made in such a way where it could not be removed. Along
with gps system technology could be built into the gun where it would not
function in large population centers such as schools or high traffic areas like
malls, without an override signal of activation in realtime. This would be
tracked and recorded. This type of trust would have to sit with an agency
that is nonpartisan so that the control of this could not be used as a
pawn and such action would not be used as a weapon itself to where it
could be politicized. This would stop the blame game from ever happening.
