Host of “America’s Most Wanted” Wants to Put GPS Chips in All Guns

John Walsh was recently given a position as a new CNN anchor for a new show called “The Hunt,” which is built on the same premise as his fugitive-finding show “America’s Most Wanted.”

While stopping in New York for a luncheon, he had some interesting things to say about gun registration and tougher gun laws:

“I’m a gun owner. I’ve hunted all my life. I hunt quail on my own ranch,” he told reporters. “And I am the biggest advocate for background checks of any gun owner in America.”

Walsh later posed a question for lawmakers: “If we really love our women and children, why do we allow this amount of crime and exploitation of them to go on? Why don’t we do something different?”

Among his suggestions for reducing gun violence: Increased mental health checks — “I could name 15 first-world countries that check your mental state before you get a gun,” he said — and a requirement that gun manufacturers include a GPS tracking device in every weapon.

“Everyone of us have a GPS chip in our cellphones,” he said. It’s not Big Brother to put those GPS chips in that AK-47.”

While Walsh thinks it’s not a big deal to have GPS tracking devices on guns, many Americans aren’t so quick to agree, hence the massive push for pro-gun politicians in local, state, and even national roles.

And it looks like the advocacy is paying off.

As Walsh points out, one of the biggest reasons tougher gun laws haven’t been pushed through is because many in Congress are terrified of Tea Party opponents who are offering firm resistance to new gun laws.

He notes that it’s fear on the part of many liberals that prevents the tougher, more draconian gun laws from being passed.

That clearly shows that conservatives can’t let up and must continue to elect as many pro-gun lawmakers as possible to preserve the ability of Americans to carry and own any weapon of their choosing, without the government knowing everything about their weapons.
