I would say guns are different because they are literally deadly weapons designed for the purpose of killing. However, the right to bear arms is also in the bill of rights and guns can be used to save lives in certain situations.

Guns could be argued all day but really it's a straw man that's distorting the scope of the discussion, which is on Airtags.

Airtags aren't dangerous devices that need to be regulated. They are useful for tracking lost and stolen property, pets. They can't directly harm anyone. I believe it should be considered as evidence for stalking, and using any tracking device to enable crimes should be an additional criminal charge. Using it without someone's knowledge could itself be considered a crime, or grounds for a restraining order.
