It requires a form of tracking, there is no way it can know who the owner is and where the proximity to the gun it's self is at. That kind of technology simply cannot exist without this data tracking. The main goal of this isn't safety, knowledge is safety, this goal is punish all law abiding gun owners and eventually turn them into criminals.
Eric Holder is a HUGE anti-gun freak. He disregards the Constitution and has been caught stating that his goal is to brainwash people against guns. He has been involved in countless illegal activities including trafficking guns to Drug Cartels in Mexico, but Obama has refused to order an investigation for some stupid reason. You cannot trust anything this man comes up with! There is always a hidden agenda with him.
IF Holder was really concerned about stopping gun violence then he would be proposing education courses about guns to be mandatory. Gun knowledge is what promotes safety.
Seems to me Mr. Holder is the one who should be wearing an electronic braclet. Know what I mean?

Hey, that's what they want to do to us.
Hey... what's good for the goose...

this is not what he said specifically, but the kind of technology in the gun and bracelet retains similar technology. You are also ignoring the big elephant here, one that I addressed you on previously which is that Eric Holder has an agenda. Nothing this man comes up with is good for anybody.
There is nothing wrong with guns today. We have a culture problem, not a gun problem. Education is the key to gun safety.
Correct. There is nothing in the Constitution about rights for driving. There is however; something in that document in regards to the RIGHT to bear arms. As to your last statement... guns don't kill people... people kill people. Yes it is a culture issue.

When he said it was like a car key he meant the technology being used would be very similar to a the tech used in new model cars.

These problems are all simply personal responsibility problems. A crook can still steal your gun and use it. But, adding more security to a gun means that unless criminals take more steps than just stealing your gun, it is useless to them and therefore prevents any future crime they could have committed with it. It definitely isn't a perfect system, as you pointed out someone could steal BOTH the gun and bracelet, but nonetheless you are preventing some things.
Guns fail without having these devices already, so its just a problem that will still exist. Now if they show a study that shows that there is an increased failure rate then that would be something to take into account. Right now though its a moot point.

The kind of technology used would be RFID, NFC or LE Bluetooth. None of which require tracking databases. You are absolutely false in this assumption.

Adding an extra level of security to a gun may have several different problems involved with it but it in no way would impede a person's RIGHT to bear arms.

If using such a device were strictly OPTIONAL, exactly. I can see the benefits some would find in locking young children and thieves (stolen gun scenario, both civilians and cops) out of the ability to discharge a firearm. There is merit to such a proposal.
They mentioned a finger print trigger lock system. If they got the technology right, that may work out well.
Sure, until that moment when the Bad Guys come through your door, and you go for your gun which has been in the closet for two years, only to find out that the battery has died on the fingerprint reader and you're completely DEAD.

Yeah, but that scenario is simply personal responsibility. If you're so irresponsible to allow your gun to fall into disuse then it may not work for you with or without this technology. What if you were forgetful about buying more ammo and now you reach over only to find out that your gun is now a fancy paperweight. There are issues with new technology, but this is strictly an issue of personal responsibility and is irrelevant.

I have to agree. Firearms require continuing care and maintenance. One's skill in using a firearm safely and effectively also requires regular practice.
