A better idea...continued

I could tell from yesterdays post this is a sore subject with most, and I understand but my thoughts are this idea of Eric Holders has no chance of being implemented anytime in the near future and maybe not ever.
 Just take liberal NY (now I know not all New Yorkers are liberal but they do elect some of the most liberal politicians so apparently they are in the majority) anyway point being their Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill to require residents to register their 'assault' weapons and by many accounts about 90% of the gun owners have said they refuse and will not, even holding many demonstrations to burn their registration forms. All this over just a form to register guns, how do you think this would go over requiring folks to actually wear an ID bracelet ? I can't imagine. 

Now mind you this uprising is from a state which already has some of the worst, most restrictive gun laws so it's not like this caught them off guard.
All this goes to prove Eric Holder is delusional or smoking some really bad stuff (or both)
Actually I wish so much he would really try this, I would love to watch the flack, it would be really entertaining to watch federal agents trying to enforce ID bracelets in Texas for example. Maybe it would make a really good reality TV show kind of like Moonshiners or Swamp People. TV crews could follow around ATF agents as they comb the back woods of the deep south searching for 'lawless' assault weapon owners and forcing to wear an ID tags, now THAT would be worth watching on Pay Per View.

Just Wondering, NY Shooting.

I don't always play Monday morning quarterback but this NY city shooting has me a little puzzled. I know it was a busy city street and I know the criminal was armed and drawing his weapon on police but what would possesses the two officers to fire 16 rounds between them to bring down the suspect. Were they bad shots or just poorly trained. Were they firing blanks or were their weapons woefully underpowered to do the job. Were the rounds going through the suspect and hitting bystanders or were they just complete misses.
One thing I know for sure is you can't get proper training just qualifying at the range once a year, that is one lesson from this. It appears the cops were trying to protect themselves with no regard for the general public all around.
One thing I do believe, if this had been a concealed weapons carrier doing this  instead of cops there would be a huge cry from the bed-wetters saying this was proof it is a bad idea to have concealed carry by untrained civilians. 
I also think fashion designers should be put on the DHS list as potential domestic terrorists.
