The Governor of Missouri says openly that Barack Obama conspired to
misuse his state’s law enforcement resources to “threaten and intimidate
his critics.”

Democrats using public resources to FRUSTRATE the will of the people?
In Missouri?
Why “I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!!!”

What I post below is the best of what I could pull up via Google
about the allegation that Eric Holder (under the Bill Clinton administration)
used Federal/public resouces to defeat a move to get Concealed Carry
in Missouri (which did eventually pass and is now active, if I understand
the situation correctly).
My best (and surely fallible) recollection is that Eric Holder was
a US Justice official located in the St. Louis area and was accussed
of using Fed/guvmint resources to defeat a push for Concealed Carry
in Missouri (in the late 1990s?).
I INVITE FELLOW FREEPERS
(AND IN PARTICULAR “BANGLIST” FOLKS)
TO CORRECT OR FILL-IN FACTS ABOUT ERIC HOLDER AND HIS
CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT CONCEALED-CARRY IN MISSOURI).

“
“The NRA and other pro-gun organisations need to support the
administration’s efforts ... to put reasonable regulations on
the use and the possession of guns,”
said Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder over the weekend.
...snip...
While Washington may still be home ground for the NRA, it is losing
battles elsewhere at state level. One of its main efforts over the
last few years has been to get laws passed to permit the carrying of
concealed weapons, but a vote in Missouri on the issue went against it
earlier this month.

I forgot to put the sarcasm comment at the end.
To put it plainly, the man is a menace to society and D A N G E R O U S.
