Maybe she should look at what is actually being discussed.
This coming from a man responsible for the deaths of Mexicans and running guns from Mexico to the US, just to set up gun shop owners......Holder sounds just brilliant, I came to this conclusion without discussing it much!

So, are they going to be included in the price of guns purchased out of car trunks in inner cities, or will they have to be purchased separately?

So if the battery died, the gun won't work? Great idea for a weapon that is used only occasionally for self defense.

One of the best things about the typical gun is that it is 100% mechanical. No electronics that can fail, needs power, be monitored, or hacked.

He is a frightening man.



Sounds like they were rank amateurs compared to this offensive clown.

The bracelet is not a "tracking device", ffs. It's an external safety that allows the gun to only be operated by the owner ( as opposed to his four year old).

Sounds like a great idea to me.


How about sugar restricting bracelets for those same kids?

Control freaks................

Heh... how about food restricting bracelets for overeaters. It would cut a lot of future medical care costs.

I'd wager that the harmful effects of obesity kill more people each year than do gun homicides.

How about bracelets for Doctors?

They kill more people than guns every year.

Better yet, one that gives a shock to Holder whenever he ignores our Laws and disrespects the Constitution.

I think they should research ways that would make guns only fire in the hands of it's lawful owner. That way the good guys could always have them and the bad guys couldnt (in a perfect world.)

Of course, there is the threat of the government being able to turn them all off if they wanted to, which would have to be considered.
Actually that technology has been out for over 100 years with the 1911 and it's grip safety that must be depressed in order for the weapon to fire. The HK P7PSP and P7M8 series pistols with their squeeze cocker is another one. Countless felons couldn't figure out how to operate it after removing it from the LEOs holster or hand. The S&W Model 40 Lemon Squeezer snub nose .38 with it's grip safety as well as the Springfield Armory XD and XD/m as well just to name a few.
