Assembly Bill A8931: Put a GPS tracker in firearms

From my cold dead hand!

[BMF JK]

Fairytales and unicorns nothing more . Play make believe long enough soon your slapped with reality.

 

[E the massive]

Anyone who takes this at face value is fooling themselves. This is not about tracking your guns. This isn't even about tracking YOU, though that is a pleasant side benefit for these Tyrants.

This is about making the cost of buying a gun too high for "normal people". Whether through actual cost or the hoops you have to jump through to obtain one.

Burden of the law abiding. I am beginning to wonder if people have drank too much of the law abiding, model citizen koolaid.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

I remember those. Had one.

 

[96coal449]

Because GPS is infallible... wow the staggering ignorance of these people. I drive for a living, and perhaps use GPS more than the next person, and I've seen some wicked glitches. A few years back, in Vermont, had my dispatcher call me up asking where on earth I was. Apparently the GPS in the truck was reporting that I was some miles offshore in the Atlantic, instead of traveling I-91 southbound. Apparently this made all kinds of alarms go off back at the office.

Anyone else ever spoof GPS by retransmitting altered NMEA streams on one of the GPS radio frequencies and overwhelming the signal coming from the satellite?

Recalculating......recalculating..............recalculating..........recalculating ...................................

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Only if it comes in suppository form.

I think a better law would be to put a GPS tracker on all politicians.

I know where a large one should go

 

[meketrefe]

This would have been nice before all the ship wrecks.
Now you CC guys need to leave the tinfoil suit at home....

 

[spat]

So, you're saying my guns are going to need their own tin foil hats soon ?

I tried an experiment with a friend. We wrapped two layers of tin foil around his phone which doesn't get the strongest signal where I live, do to his provider. I called it ......it rang.

Years ago lead was removed out of paint for the safety of the children, yet it was left in gasoline for another decade so we could all breath it.
Call me a conspirator ........ IDGAF. They have had a plan for quite some time. They knew 4G-5G was coming. We all know they do not give a half a fuck for the children. BTW, as far as I am aware, we are the only country that has banned lead paint.

Tinfoil doesn’t work but EMP bags do. The same type of bags they send you with your Ezpass.

An older Microwave also works as a good blocker. I have two old ovens on my basement.

EZ pass? I avoid that shit as much as possible. I prefer the back roads..... usually I even save fuel for I am not trying to keep up with 70 mph traffic.

No offense to the employees personally but.....fuckin trolls. Shit was supposed to taken out quite some time ago.

 

[Shadow2]

They have been tracking people for some time. The bag they supply is their way for you to opt out.

E-ZPass Is the Best Tracking Device That's Already in Your Car

E-ZPass is probably the best thing that's ever happened to paying tolls. Those plastic funnels you toss coins into are a close second. But E-ZPass has a bonus feature. It can be used to track you everywhere you go.

...or ball and chain.

 

[IrishMick]

Y'all misspelled noose.

 

[Jmac00]

LOL, the antenna is going to be bigger than my LCP, or almost any Bond Arm firearm.

and exactly what are *they* going to do about the 30 million guns in New Yorkistan all ready? Most of my friends have at LEAST 15 firearms. and I don't take my guns to a gunsmith, there is almost nothing I can't do to my guns, that would require a gunsmith

 

[NY Leatherneck]

Wow they are really narrow minded....should have required each gun to have a video device to record the user's actions. The GPS could then upload real time images to a new law enforcement agency to screen for wrongdoing....Seems common sense to me.

That "make the cost too high" strategy worked so well with illegal drugs. I'm sure it will work at least as well with guns.

 

[Airborneguy]

And/or their "government" vehicles

Just fyi, most gov’t vehicle have GPS tracking now.

Good. Use your own vehicle and gas for your trips to the store.

 

[Airborneguy]

That’s a little more complicated. Some agencies/positions allow the use of government vehicles for private business due to the nature of the person involved. Like if they’re on 24hr call for example. Most do not allow it though.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Well, I can't honestly say that it's outside the realm of possibility that back in the day a certain group of MP's may have lost their bearings, driven off post, and hit up the local deli for their meal break.

Who are the biggest customers for illegal drugs?
Criminals.


who are the biggest customers for guns?

The Law Abiding.


THAT is the difference.

 

[ProgSpear]

Once all guns are criminalized, only criminals will have guns. Of course that includes the fascists in .GOV, but that’s a feature, not a bug.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

They can track us already by cell phone...now our guns? Idiots all

 

[Truebeliever]

The technology on the free market isn’t there yet. The battery of a size to put in the gun wouldn’t last. The accuracy of cell phone tracking to 9/11 isn’t as great as they would have one believe.
We had a hard enough time with LoJack and GPS on cars.
I actually investigated it to put on my own guns ( or at least the portable gun lockers I would use). I would want to be able to track and find the guy who stole it.
Again, the open market tracking isn’t good enough yet.

It wouldn't be the first time they tried to mandate non existent technology.

Their attitude would be "oh, until you figure out how to make it work, I guess no new guns. Oh well"

And if someone *did* manage to make it work, suddenly they would add some impossible accuracy standard or something.

Their goal is not to reduce crime, but to reduce gun ownership.

 

[Skinny420]

I have owned every dog tracking system from the old beep collars where you had headphones and had to point the antenna and listen for the signal and I've owned all 3 gps dog tracking systems. There is no battery available that would fit in any gun that will track for very long in a GPS unit. Even if there was no battery there is absolutely no extra room in a pistol for anything. To put together a small enough device that could handle the abuse.....and not just be removed buy the criminal who steals it. That's less possible than microstamping.

 

[FRANKIE]

That toy is racist. Only white supremacists can play with it. Only comes in one skintone?

 

[Cavalry]

Oh good, another zombie thread back from the dead.
