No matter what giant list of measurements you can come with. The only real solution is banning all guns from public purchase and ownership. This is maybe very offensive to some Americans, but deep down you know that that is the only real solution. How can there even be a debate about background checks or small solutions after Sandy Hook is beyond me.

False! Gun Control in Australia has worked... And here is the kicker. It's still legal to own guns.

If there were none people can still be traced since there are camera everywhere.

Do you know how logistically difficult/impossible that is? There are 276.1 million vehicles in the United States, many vehicles look fundamentally identical as they are "stock" vehicles of a certain model. They are clones of each other.
It would be like trying to play "Spot the difference" with millions of other vehicles on the road.

Number plates exist and have a myriad of features that allow for the unique and easy identification of vehicles quickly and effectively regardless of conditions. (Fog/Rain/Sun Glare/Night Time. etc')

Number plates also assist agencies that aren't law enforcement... High-speed impacts tend not to leave much room for coherent descriptions of vehicles, but chances are a number plate or two has survived that we can reference from.

So no, number plates do exist for a reason.

No i'm not saying trace the person to their home and back. There's a sufficient amount of cameras already that can help find someone. If they stopped at a store/gas station and they probably drove by a street camera etc.

Yeah i'd rather have plates than a surveillance state.

That implies you will have a full camera network with coverage across the entire continent... Yeah. Nah. Certainly not the case.

It's really not that hard and you would not need cameras everywhere. Almost every store has a camera and the person probably crossed by a street camera. It probably take a little bit more time but thats a fair trade off.
