Yes. I don't believe our government is inherently evil and unjust. They have and will continue to have access to all this information legally anyway (if it exists, they can legally get it).
On the plus side, I see a lot of positives with this. I'm tired of graffiti everywhere. The other day I was walking home and some kid picked up a metal trash can on the corner of 37th and 8th, dumped it in the middle of the road and launched it at a storefront window and walked off. Outdoor restrooms, drugs use / dealing, random acts of violence, theft, vandalism... good bye. In Shenzhen, I'm told that if you jaywalk they will auto-deduct the ticket from your bank account by the time you cross the street. Think about the countless billions of dollars in lost productivity, environmental damage, waste whatever it is that you care about that blatant disrespect for other people's time and property costs us.
All of these bad actors can be weeded out. The possibilities actually excite me.
But nothing in the real world ever works perfectly. And past experience with giving governments power indicates that, before giving the government any power, you should imagine it being exercised by your worst enemy.
In the kind of world you are excited about, as far as I can see, it wouldn't matter whether you or I campaigned against (or for) gun ownership, because we wouldn't be the ones deciding about it. The government would be, based on its assessment of whether guns need to be banned in order to weed out bad actors.
