It's a legal requirement for drones above 250g to broadcast not only their position but also the position of the operator and their identification number.
And the FCC is pretty damn ruthless about finding and triangulating signals that don't comply with their rules.
Famously, this system works well after it would be useful.
Drones and IUDs may be less traceable than guns and offer even less risk to the user. Currently if you're going to use a gun, you basically have to be suicidal or care zero about the consequences.
But that also brings up a good point -- people worry about addresses being available because someone might be able to use a gun and kill them as well. Or hell, just their fists.
Doxxing is dangerous, is this not the case in Europe as well?
Gotta watch out for those intra-uterine devices - they can take out a city block. ;)

The rest of the world doesn't really have the same concern or context, because the rest of the world doesn't have the same issues or political/media environment.
Also read in many places buying illegally is easy. How true is that?
If you buy a gun from someone on a classifieds site or friend/family, in most states you don't have to get a background check to transfer ownership of the firearm. This is typically the "loophole" that people refer to when they want Universal Background Checks.
I'm not sure what you mean by buying illegally - whether you mean to someone prohibited from owning firearms (like a felon or something), or buying "illegal" guns... Either way there are usually stiff penalties for owning restricted devices. For example if I were to 3D print an auto-sear for an AR-15 (making it full-auto), that's a ticket to a 10 year sentence in federal prison. Assuming I don't have the permission slip from the ATF. As for prohibited persons buying a firearm, I'm not sure what the penalties are, but at the least it'd be a violation of their release?
Or unless, of course, you're a criminal who is forbidden from legally buying a gun.
Or unless you have a felony, which would make up a much larger share of illegall firearm purchases than teenagers.
"not technically an assault rifle" doesn't matter in the slightest, no one's impressed by this constant pedantry... yes, yes, it's an ArmaLite 15 and isn't technically an assault rifle because it's only semi-automatic. This changes absolutely nothing, mass shooters are essentially cosplaying during mass shootings with this thing because it looks like an assault rifle and it's easily accessible.
the proliferation of modern small arms is one of the worst things to happen in human history
In Europe, all you need to kill your enemy and his family is two guys and a baseball bat or a knife. In America, you atleast need a gun since odds are they have a gun at home.

I assume you understand the question re: Schengen.
Annals of revealed preferences.
At what point do you look inward for someone to blame for your circumstances?
2. The US does not collect, if you don't want to come back to the US it doesn't matter.
First world children accidentally having US citizenship from their parents youthful indiscretions aren't so happy this decade with their inability to use normal financial services in their own country.
There's the possibility that the US gets sidelined in global finance but otherwise there's no reason to assume it won't continue with its current momentum instead of recently developed progressions somehow being steady state.
Going to the US as some kind of fun few year adventure is really no longer something someone should contemplate without first consulting non existent neutral international financial/immigration/legal council. If you aren't sure of a very specific goal/desire consider if somewhere else might work well enough instead.
You can renounce a citizenship. They added an exit-fee recently. Plus if you've been living in the US working for a US company you've been paying taxes, no?
Or else you're under the table and not paying taxes, in which case this is all moot.
Worst case you can always go back to whatever country you're a citizen on, go on welfare and start over from scratch.
There are plenty of ways to contribute to discussion without making remarks that are emotionally charged and inflammatory.
They should be. As should you.
