I am not a hardware engineer, never fired a bullet.

Your points are very valid,

All I can build is couple of prototype which can prove it can be done. it might be flawed, defective whatever.

I dont know how it can be done, but there must be someone somewhere who can take these challenges and come up with a solution.

In summary: You've registered a domain name, spent 3 weeks noodling the problem since Sandy Hook, have no hardware engineering background, and have never fired a gun.

Why is this on HackerNews?

I can't build chips, but can use off the shelf parts build prototypes and have built some.

I dont want to be fired upon by a gun, nor for my family or friends and for that matter even a enemy.

this is in HackerNews, believe whatever you want to I am scratching my itch, massaging my ego, feeling less guilty for having attempted to do something for getting to the solution.

The problems you'll run into when trying a GPS solution: 1) packaging. LIke someone else said, there isn't a lot of room on your typical firearm to hide such things. You'll be left with something like a wall-wart that is completely obvious. 2) battery life. some of my rifles haven't left the safe in a year, you really going to have a battery that keeps the device powered that long?
