Holder: DOJ Gun Control Efforts May Include Gun Tracking BraceletsMelissa Melton Apparently these are technologies Holder says he learned about in a meeting with technology people that he and Joe Biden had when they were trying to pass their common sense gun reforms last year. As the Washington Free Beacon reported, the DOJ has requested an increase in its 2014 budget not just for gun safety initiatives, but specifically for gun safety technology grants: But as Western Journalism pointed out, these technologies could also easily be exploited to take a persons Second Amendment rights away in the blink of a digital eye, as states are already on the way to requiring smart chips in guns that, when turned off, render the weapons inoperable: A 2002 smart gun technology law passed in New Jersey will go into effect as soon as the appropriate technology has been designed and tested and ready to go. Under the law, the technology will be required in all new handguns sold three years after the state attorney general determines a smart gun prototype is safe and commercially available. In addition, Weapons used by law enforcement officers would be exempt. See how that works? Agents of the government will have guns that work, chip-free, while the peoples arms will be subject to the whims of government-enforced smart technology. In the meantime, DARPA, the Department of Defenses research arm, is working on a project called MEMS, or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems tiny electrical elements that, when embedded within a gun for example, can render the weapon inoperable at a whim. For example, the gun will only be able to shoot at certain times or within a certain area. Theres just a virtually unlimited potential, Chris Harmer, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, told Bloomberg Businessweek of MEMS last August. Back in January, President Obama signed two new executive actions establishing guidelines to quote, keep guns out of potentially dangerous hands. In this regard, the New Americans Joe Wolverton points out that our president is once again acting as if he forgot the Constitution even exists: Even though the Second Amendment is crystal clear that the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, slowly but surely, in the federal governments burgeoning quest for ever more centralized power, Uncle Sam is finding creative new technologically advanced ways to infringe the hell out of it every chance he gets.
