Brilliant! GPS enabled guns

[GunnyGene]

No, it's not GPS enabled bullets. But the gun itself. Why you ask? Well for tracking purposes in case it's lost or stolen of course, according to NY Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, D-Brooklyn. It would never be used to assist in confiscation of course, because 2A. :lol: :wink: :wink:

even as the state was shutting down the NRA’s liability insurance program.

Assembly Bill A08931 is short and sweet. The core of it is this:

Section 899-aaaa. Global positioning system technology.
§ 899-aaaa. Global positioning system technology. Any person who holds a valid gunsmith license pursuant to section 400.00 of the penal law, and who manufactures any firearm, shall ensure that each manufactured firearm shall include global positioning system technology to allow such firearm to be tracked if stolen.

The Brooklyn Bridge was just sold but the water under the bridge is still available. Another back door confiscation scheme if there ever was one. Who does he think he's fooling?

Will the owner be jailed or fined if he forgets to keep fresh batteries in said rifle?

Ignorance gone to seed.

They would use rechargeable batteries that would be plugged into to the USB port on your computer. Of course the status of the charge would be automatically uploaded to the department in charge. Failure to keep current on the charge condition of the batteries would flag you for immediate physical inspection and/or red flag you as a terrorist. When your connected to the USB I doubt the “authorities” would be able to access your computer or place back door access software on it.

I would imagine that the rifle or handgun would not fire either if the battery was dead, so no problem. :wink:
