Feb 11 2013: This is an interesting idea and I like it, but there are a few problems I see with what you are saying. You mentioned that there is no specific wording to what guns are allowed by the constitution, what are the allowed guns in this scenario. Are any guns allowed or will there be some restrictions? The gun locks, how much would this drive up the price of a firearm? Same with the kill switch, how much does that cost? Also the kill switch might not work really well because someone might kill people before the kill switch is activated. Plus there would still be regular guns still on the street because it would take a prolonged period of time before all "unsafe" guns were eliminated.
