And new guns need to have chips that can locate the gun at anytime. Make the chips mandatory for ALL guns new and old. And those that refuse to comply, lose their paranoia, I mean lose their guns. You MUST register your gun EVERY year, and the chip gets a reading to tell if you shot your gun, and what the reason was for it. Make schools have laser systems that can tell if a gun is within 50 to 100 yards of the school. Cops aren't so reliable, and they don't belong guarding schools.
And make gun owners buy annual insurance for their killing machines. Just like cars. Make the rates according to population. But the lowest premium should be $200.00 a year. If you think it's worth all the time and money, then you can have you precious guns.

It's a strawman argument. No one is saying that all gun problems would be solved.
