So you don't think identifying oneself as a "revolutionary" would be problematic? You don't think our government could/would use that information against you? I don't need to identify myself as anything. I'm an American citizen and so long as I don't have a felony conviction, I have the constitutional right to own a legal weapon. We can debate what a "legal" weapon is or should be, but the need to label oneself as a revolutionary just to own a gun...nonsense.

I'd like to designate myself a "second amendment revolutionary" right now.
Although something tells me the anti gun loon control freaks in government aren't going to allow it.
Should I happen to hear gun fire coming from a school, I'll gladly do my civic duty by putting my fingers in my ears and just walking away.
Ok. Remove the revolutionary part of the designation. Just call it, My Second Amendment Right designation.
I put the "revolutionary" part in there as a joke. Fighting the US government with guns is like bringing stones to a nuclear war. There is no fight between you or any set of individuals and the government that you could ever win in this country. The revolutionary part was just so that you could keep your illusion.
If revolution is such a joke, why is the government so afraid of it? I tell you why. It's a numbers game brother. Several million people with rifles can do some damage, and there is absolutly no guarantee they can get the military on their side. If that's the case, it's as simple as bayoneting 535 assholes along with a few others. Done in a weekend.
Fine! My electronicically enhanced gun will allow you to keep your illusion and the government will be quaking in its boots at the sight of you ferocious million man army with your guns. Everyone wins! Let's implement the electronics in the gun and pass laws that all guns can be turned off as explained above! But here it is in case you missed it:
I have always wondered why using the same technology that is inside a cell phone, we make guns more electronic, one payoff being that we are then able to track guns. It would then be a simple matter to control the gun near schools or anywhere for that matter. The gun would be programmed depending on your stated reason for use. The gun would be tracked by GPS. If you are a hunter, you would only be allowed to shoot it in designated hunting areas or within 100 yards of your legal property. If you are a recreational user, you would only be able to shoot it in shooting ranges or within 100 yards of your legal propterty boundary, mostly near your home. If you are a police officer, there would be no restriction. If you were near a school and posses a weapon, no matter who you are the school would be notified that a gun is entering its surrounding space. If you are a second ammenment rights designated user, you would have no restriction except near schools.
Anyone that wanted could also purchase a device that would tell them when someone was armed within 50 yards of them. The only place the gun would be shielded from the detection device was if the gun was in the gun owners property. Outside your own legal real estate or address on record, the gun would be seen by the electronic device by anyone.
Etc.
Any time the government wanted, it could just extend the signal and tell guns to turn off. That sorta defeats the whole purpose. No thanks.
Also, if this clever (and that word is very loosely applied here) scheme were to take place, what would you do with the few hundred million guns already out there? Yard Sale?

This is some of the sickest shit I have ever read. It really doesn't deserve a response but i'm bored.
1) You don't need a stated purpose for a gun, you simply have a RIGHT to own and carry them.
2) If this idea was so great and everyone wanted a nice gps tracked electronic piece (lol).. don't you think the manufacturer's would be making them? Of course you know that absolutely NO gun owners or makers want this, so really you mean the feds should make it happen.
3) A key issue with guns is reliability, that means the more simple, time proven designs are what most people are looking for. More parts (especially new, unnecessary ones)= more potential problems. What happens to someone who is carrying an 'electronic' gun that runs out of batteries when they NEED it.. or has some kind of malfunction and the gun doesn't go bang when they pull the trigger?
4) this is exactly the type of big brother insanity that has people who value freedom getting increasingly pissed.
5) That you clearly don't like the idea that people can be armed around you, or don't like guns in general is YOUR problem. Maybe consider living in a country where they are illegal for private citizens to own. Also, understand that shootings and murder in general still happen in these countries, and every country on earth.
6) Who is going to foot the bill for all the R&D to get your pos guns to work? If it's the private sector, what do you think these things will cost? They ain't gonna be cheap and that just isn't right to the people who can't afford it, they have the same rights as everyone else.
I have a better idea, why don't we just skip guns and put gps in people. Maybe even a little explosive device or tazer, so when the govt catches somewhere that you don't have a stated purpose to be, they can just turn YOU off. yea buddy, imagine how crime will drop then? WOOOOO!!!
They have opened a pandora's box. Gun control advocates will lose and just need to drop this issue.
