Putting the serial number on the barrel and regulating that makes far more sense,

Not really. Barrels are consumables. They need occasional replacement.

you canâ(TM)t even rifle the barrel properly without specialized equipment thatâ(TM)s not run of the mill CNC.

I've seen some rifling jigs made from all-thread, bolts and an angle iron frame. The trick is just to pull the rifling button through a piece of bored rod. Homemade buttons made from hardened tool steel will do for a production run in the dozens of parts. Carbide is only needed for actual commercial production runs.

And then there are home made EDM machines.

It INCLUDES a public sidewalk or edge of the woods, or parking area far away from any building.

A few years ago, we had several shootings along a little side road behind the local high school. It turned out to be territorial. Who got the prime parking placed for the fent dealers RVs behind the school.

Just clear them out, you say? But these are "vulnerable people" living in RVs with nowhere else to go, according to our blue state legislature and city government.

The glasses aren't the problem as much as the facial recognition going on behind them. The public/private distinction is valid in that a camera can be banned in a private setting but not so much public. However once the camera is permitted, nobody knows what might be going on behind it. Me, swinging my Canon EOS around is going to be a lot more obvious than someone wearing "glasses". But it's the stalking that really creeps people out. And the facial recognition that supports it. And that's more effective in public, where banning cameras is difficult.

Just ban the back end facial recognition functions and people won't sweat the camera bit so much.

Perhaps you mean "consent to being recorded". To identify someone, you have to take that information, match it to a record in a database and return linked records.

Just make it illegal to posses such records in the first place (particularly related to children). Zuckerberg in prison would be a great achievement.
