When he’s not selectively persecuting, er, prosecuting major felons like Dinesh D’Souza, and ignoring the indiscretions of Harry Reid and the IRS’s trampling of the free speech of conservative Americans nationwide, Eric Holder is thinking up newfangled ways to impose back door gun control. This time it’s in the form of a bracelet. Now before you get too excited by the possibility of a new piece of sparkly diamond-encrusted jewelry, it’s not that kind of bracelet. Not even close. Rather, it’s an ID bracelet that a firearms owner would wear so that only s/he could fire their weapon. That’s right, the guy who fights the implementation of voter ID laws 24/7 wants firearms owners to don ID bracelets. Purely for safety reasons, of course. It has nothing to do with control over the citizenry. And if you believe that, etc etc. One wonders if this ID regulation would be required for the arming of drug cartels and Islamic rebels, but I digress. In Holder’s words:

Which sounds all warm and fuzzy on the surface. Particularly if you’re gadget-minded Bond, James Bond. But there are (at least!) two major flaws in Holder’s argument:

1. What happens if, heaven forbid, a friend or family member is home alone, with only your firearm and no bracelet, when an intruder breaks in? Under Mr. Holder’s back door gun control, would we just cower in the corner and hope for the best because we don’t have the magic bracelet? Or does he expect us to use the now-worthless firearm like a ball-peen hammer when the would-be rapist gets close enough? But it doesn’t matter, anyway, because See Flaw Number Two.
2. There’s that little thing called the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

We will decide for ourselves if we want to use a magic bracelet, Mr. Holder. Not you. Not your boss. Not anyone. And by the way, our right to self-defense is not limited to burglaries, but also includes, predominantly, would-be tyrants. I’m looking at you, Mr. Holder, and that guy to whom you profess your loyalty. Any questions?
