One sector of the American economy that is booming is the absolute orgy of guns and ammunition sales. I am pretty certain President Obama will not say anything positive about this economic news.
I have read more than one report that shows how the surge of civilian firepower sales began back when it appeared that Obama was likely to be elected. The already-brisk guns and ammo market blew up another 25% once he was elected. Reason: freedom lovers do not trust liberal President Obama. His nomination for Attorney General, Mr. Eric Holder, proves that distrust is justified.
Both President Obama and Mr. Holder are avowed gun-control zealots--typical of the loony, anti-freedom wing of the Democratic Party. Do not believe President Obama's or Mr. Holder's thinly veiled statements about supporting an individual's right to own guns, but rather review their previous career long, freedom-restricting, gun-grabbing statements.
Mr. Holder has a long, ugly record of attacking freedom. He has consistently supported gun bans, raising the age that someone can purchase a weapon, supporting registration and licensing, waiting periods, and his all-time favorite-the felon's dream of gun-free zone sheeple.
Fact: Mr. Holder has never met a socialist gun control measure he did not like.
Just last year, Mr. Holder signed an amicus brief in support of Washington DC's ban on all handguns and the use of a gun for self-defense in DC homes. He stated, "the Second Amendment did not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms" and that the Second Amendment was only intended for government militias. The Supreme Court found otherwise and found that DC's anti-freedom and pro-crime gun control law was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court voted for freedom. The good guys won, President Obama and Holder lost to the Supreme Court. Go figure.
Mysteriously, when Mr. Holder worked for President Clinton and in charge of the instant background check system, the system was routinely broken and off-line. Miraculously, when the Bush administration took over in 2001 the system rarely broke down. Is that a coincidence? Maybe. And maybe not. I’m in the “maybe not” camp.
Truth is, what Mr. Holder really supports is more law-abiding citizens being victimized by recidivistic, violent punks on parole. If enacted, his anti-freedom views will create more innocent victims and Mr. Holder knows it. While Mr. Holder is personally protected by heavily armed law enforcement officers, he does not believe you and I have a right to protect ourselves and our loved ones with a gun. He is a hypo-hypocrite who deserves to be exposed, and I challenge our senators to vote against his confirmation.
To those who tried to expose his views in the confirmation hearing, I say “attaboy.” But Holder bobbed and weaved and really didn’t answer the questions. So now the ONLY thing conservative senators can do is vote against his confirmation.
Every one of our founding fathers supported an individual's right to own guns. Unlike President Obama and Mr. Holder, these vanguards of freedom understood that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can not be achieved without being able to protect yourself and your loved ones from human scum who would deny you these fundamental God-given rights. Our founding fathers were also very distrustful of any government that would restrict its citizens from owning guns. Clearly, Mr. Holder and President Obama disagree with our founding fathers.
It matters not to Mr. Holder the tens of thousands of innocent law-abiding citizens who are victims of violent thugs in America each year. Mr. Holder does not care that law-abiding citizens use guns roughly two million times each year to stop crime and save innocent lives. These facts, however interesting, fall on the deaf ears of Mr. Holder and President Obama. Makes one wonder just who's side they are on, doesn't it?
What President Obama and Mr. Holder obviously want is control. Instead of citizens, they want to make us their Fedzilla subjects. Studying other gun-grabbing regimes of the past, they know the first thing that needs to be done to turn us from citizens to subjects is to disarm us. My advice to American freedom lovers is to continue to buy more guns and more ammunition and to join the National Rifle Association.
If Mr. Holder's anti-freedom views are not reprehensible enough, as the number two guy at the Department of Justice Mr. Holder worked to commute the jail sentences of unrepentant FALN terrorists in 1999 so that Mrs. Clinton could gain political points with Puerto Rican voters while she was campaigning for the US Senate in New York. And this is the guy President Obama wants to be the chief law enforcement officer of the United States? God help us all.
Mr. Holder is no friend of freedom or the Second Amendment. He is not worthy to be your city's dog catcher much less our Attorney General.
I do not fear Zero as much as I fear his voters.
“While Mr. Holder is personally protected by heavily armed law enforcement officers, he does not believe you and I have a right to protect ourselves and our loved ones with a gun.”
Key line. If everyone who is anti-gun did away with their security forces having guns, maybe then they would have an ounce of credibility.
And what, praytell, Mr. Holder, is a “government militia?” A militia is, by definition if I recall correctly, a group of citizens who arm themselves and are ready to defend their land/country. The Minutemen were a MILITIA. Governments have ARMIES.
This piece of crap needs to be stopped at all costs and any Republican who votes for his confirmation should be targeted for defeat in their next election cycle.
Re: “militia”
People in the 1700’s and 1800’s USA did not have:
-One gun a month limits on purchases
-NICS background checks
-CCW cards
-Require ID for ammo purchases
The notion that the 2nd A is limited to “militias” is a specious one by the left. There were no limitations on ownership of firearms until the late 19th Century.
That is a little fact that libs conveniently forget.
Any Republican who votes for Holder needs to be recalled. Why wait?
I feel for you living in PA - I live in DiFi/Babs country and work in the City of Morons who a couple years ago voted a complete gun ban. Because of course the gangstas would immediately turn in their illegal weapons once they were told having them was “wrong.” Thank our Lord the NRA stepped in.
I found Holder calling it a “government militia” indicative of what a clueless moron he really is. Of course, we have Obigula’s brown shirted “Youth Corps” and ersatz Black Panther “Civilian Defense Corp” to look forward to.
I find it interesting that whitehouse.gov say that the Bill of Rights “gives citizens the right to “bear” arms, but does NOT say “keep and bears arms”.
Just an oversight?
Look what happened last night.
Post your info ping
I agree.
I find it interesting that whitehouse.gov says that the Bill of Rights “gives citizens the right to “bear” arms. Period.
That is wholly incorrect. The government doesn't "give" me any rights. The Bill of Rights clearly defines what limits are placed on government concerning my God given rights.
"We hold these truths to be self evident..."
I feel for you working in Frisco ~ I lived in Bay Area for 50 years and moved to Oregon in ‘90 when I realized what the California congresscritters had in mind for gun owners.
Yes, the Obamessiah “Civilian Defense Corp” should give us a wake up call. I’m old enough to remember what happened in Germany in the 30’s.
Wake Up America!!
Be Ever Vigilant!!
Molon Labe!!
My next door neighbor was a teenager in Germany in the 1930’s. She told me, point-blank, before the election that whenever Obigula opens his mouth, she hears Adolph.
I wasn’t a teenager until the 40’s. My dad was very knowledgeable about world affairs and talked about Hitler, etc, when I was a nipper in the 30’s.
I was raised on a farm in So-Cal and got my first rifle on my ninth birthday, I had been shooting since I was five.
You neighbor is so right, God love her!
Give her my best and take care of yourself!
Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Wright's 'Black Liberation' "church", and the pardons of 16 members of the Puerto Rican Marxist terrorist group FALN:

So is Rham Emmanuelle and Biden

EXACTLY!
I know exactly what she means. He has the most evil eyes and facial expressions. Watch him with the sound off. watch his face, his eyes, this man is seething with anger and he is the most power hungry person I've ever seen in our government. Granted Bill and Hilary were power hungry but compared to this man, they don't hold a candle to him. Bill C was greedy, spoiled, but zer0 isn't even in the same league. The election proved he will stop at nothing. he will lie, cheat, buy his way to power, whatever means to achieve his goals. We have a very dangerous man sitting in that White House and he was elected by fools that either shared his agenda for our Republic or didn't have a clue what he stood for. We are in very deep sh*t. The main questions is, will he succeed and take America down or will he fail? He will only fail if we choose to not let him succeed. We have to vigorously fight him, expose him, on things he is trying to do and we can't do it in small numbers. We have to band together and let our voices be heard loud and clear to our elected Republicans and the RINO's. We must vote those RINO's out that care nothing about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Any Republican that votes to confirm Holder should be the target of a massive conservative movement to make sure they are not reelected.
