For instance, it can be through the Global Positioning System (GPS), where a firearm tracking system comprising of a geographic position signaling unit is securely attached to the firearm and wirelessly inter- connected to a monitoring station. The monitoring station would be a station where we have a bureau of professional and ethical people who should safeguard the information of whoever owns a gun in the country. Many people may fear that if they have a gun and they are being monitored, somebody may sell out their whereabouts. This then becomes another concern. But in areas where it has been practised, we have a bureau which is manned by ethical and well trained officers who are backed by a proper legislation on confidentiality and proper management of that particular bureau for monitoring the wireless inter-connection and the station. They use microchips which will continually transmit the geographic position of the firearm to the monitoring station."}
