Eric Holder: Maybe lawful gun owners should have to wear electronic bracelets to use them

eric you are twisted

[ScottinVA]

I have an even better idea. Fit a size 12 bracelet on Holder’s size 16 neck.

And leave it there.

[skeeter]

And maybe Eric should go pee on himself.

[mountainlion]

They want legitimize people to wear devices to track them and they do not want to track criminals?

Professional courtesy I guess.

[chrisser]

Police and federal law enforcement will get these first, right?

[TheThirdRuffian]

Maybe we should all wear yellow stars, too.

[Iron Munro]

That way Holders People can tell who to avoid when they feel like mugging, raping or playing the Knock Out Game.

[rktman]

Well eric, I for once think you’re on to something. You and your boss most certainly should be wearing bracelets.? On your way to the big house. For a long time. Remind us once again, were you or were you not armed when you illegally took over the admin offices all those years ago?

[bigbob]

Maybe the AG should read the Constitution

[Dilbert San Diego]

that struck me too. This is the same mindset which prompted the Nazis to compel Jews to wear yellow stars to ID them.

So, then, we’re going to identify people with these bracelets???

And Harry Reid said recently that Republican Senators should wear identification indicating they received contributions from the Koch brothers.

What is it about a liberal mindset, that they want to publicly physically identify certain people with whom they disagree????

...shall not be infringed.

If he's okay with beta-testing this hare-brained idea with the Secret Service, the US military, the FBI, the DEA and only then plan to require it of the hoi-polloi...

Holder either has an incredibly black and evil heart, or he's living in some alternative universe.

In 1974, the Feds required cars to have either automatic seat belts or an ignition interlock that required drivers and passengers to buckle their seat belts to start their cars. This did not go well. Most soon figured out how to bypass the circuit; IIRC within one year the requirement was disposed of by congress.

[skimbell]

Sounds OK to me.

What's wrong with a government wanting a certain group of it's citizens to wear identification items?

How could it hurt?

[centurion316]

Aside from the Fascist implications of this screwball idea, this destroys the entire notion of concealed carry. In most states, concealed carry means that your weapon must be out of sight. Impossible to do if you are wearing a bracelet that is an integral part of the weapons system.

B. Hussein Obama continues unimpeded as the arrogant Democrat leader of the Left Wing, Anti-Work Counterculture thanks to doormat Republicans such as Boehner, Cantor, Ryan, Issa, McConnell, and McCain.

Counterculture Democrats reap what they sow, and doormat Republicans gladly provide the fertilizer.

What can possibly go wrong?

[NEWwoman]

My thoughts exactly

[BitWielder1]

Why not go all the way? Force everyone to wear an RFID tag.
When you pull the trigger, the mandatory smart gun sends all the pertinent information, including audio, video and the ID of shooter and target, to the FBI where a clerk decides whether to allow the gun to fire or not.
It may take a few minutes but it's better than to take a human life unnecessarily, right?
Of course the perp's gun will have no such limitations.

Obama hoping for a shooting war before November. Let’s just take the Congress and make him an early lame duck.
