Last Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about his role in the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal. However, instead of answers, Congress got more defiance, more arrogance, and more wasted time with an attorney general who clearly feels no sense of obligation to the American people or our rule of law.
But for all the stonewalling, there was at least one telling moment at this hearing, and it should concern law-abiding gun owners and all Americans who expect accountability from our government.
In a rash attempt to deflect attention away from himself and his own irresponsibility, Holder let Congress know that the Obama administration is still working toward the day when it can reinstate former President Bill Clinton’s so-called “assault weapons” ban. According to Holder:
This administration has consistently favored the reinstitution of the assault weapons ban. It is something that we think was useful in the past with regard to the reduction that we’ve seen in crime, and certainly would have a positive impact on our relationship and the crime situation in Mexico.It’s difficult to follow Holder’s logic here, but it goes something like this …
The Obama administration — particularly Eric Holder’s Justice Department — oversaw an epic scandal whereby our own federal government illegally funneled thousands of firearms into the hands of Mexican drug lords. This contributed to the death of one U.S. Border Patrol agent and hundreds of Mexicans.

Of course he does ... all wanna be dictators do
Gun sales have skyrocketed since Barry the Kenyan Guy rose to power. At the same time, the FBI is reporting that violent crime is dropping like a rock. Holder seems clueless about what is really going on right now. He needs to resign and go start a chicken farm or something.
And here I thought all he did was perjure himself during these hearings. Finally a bit of truth comes out.
A prediction. Attempting that will set off a revolutionary war much earlier than I had expected it.
Sure then only his people will have guns.
We all need to read a little fiction to see what is really taking place. The Turner Diaries, while not a literary masterpiece was just slightly ahead of its time in describing what our government has become. If you don’t mind being uncomfortable in your own skin (regardless of color) it is a quick read and an open (transparent) window into how evil a government can become and way too damned close to this administration.
Ummmm. Duh???
Obama administration wants to ban guns
This statement is part correct.
Conservatives will be banned from owning firearms.
However, many of the elite along with their self appointed ‘victim groups’ (gays, feminists, Holder’s people) will be permitted to own guns in order to protect themselves from the ‘bitter clingers and bible thumpers’.
If a Republican AG had acted in such a fashion he would already be in jail. The media would have built the cell and Republicans would have (rightly so) helped chuck him in there. That is the difference between the Ds and the Rs. The play hardball and our guys are more interested in being liked and keeping their phony-baloney jobs.
Actually, he needs to be prosecuted and do some serious jail time, IMHO....
Let me see: ban guns, ban religion, ban healthcare choices, ban talk radio, ban congress, ban fossil fuels, ban capitalism, hell just ban the constitution and be done with it. It is truly frightening how far Obama has taken us down the road to tyranny and destruction of the traditional values of this country, not mention, the economic destruction.
nail on head and one of the most accurate posts ever put on here.
Our side does not want to rock the boat and tries to b e likes off the MSM and the left as they do not want to be called a name etc.
The left fight tooth and nail to defend their social issues, planned parenthood, homosexuality agenda etc.
That is why now we have the elitist north east Romney put out there by them.
Like everyone else in the Obama Regime, Holder is in way over his head.
Yeah, but we are principled
/ s.
When patriots learn to fight, go full tilt, and take no prisoners, then our rights will be respected.
Depending on a piece of paper under glass in DC to maintain a free lifestyle will fail if we are not determined to actually live free.
The Obamites are going to try a full-court press on the issue, especially since there is a good chance DuhWon is a lame duck.

John Lott, pick up the white courtesy phone for a congratulatory message...
Perfect example of the liberal urban culture that's taken over much of Holder's people. It's the reason the Black Panthers weren't prosecuted. Once one is party of a protected class whatever one does can be rationalized in terms of past wrongs real or perceived. The resulting arrogance and boldness make it all the more offensive.

Yes... located right on the border with Mexico... and he must be unarmed.
***This administration has consistently favored the reinstitution of the assault weapons ban.***
This is what GunWalker was all about. The regime wanted to show guns seized in Mexico were being bought in the US. Remember all the hub bub about the mex pres requesting Obama to “do something” to stop the flow of guns from the US to the cartels?
They kept spouting false numbers about where the guns came from, almost all were from central and south America. So Bams had his goons run gunwalker to get some “real numbers”.
There is a very large reservoir of energy and anger out there, anger at everything that has been and is being crammed down our throats.The pol who taps that will take it going away, leavig the rest of the pack at the 3/4 pole.

To dismiss AG Holder as "clueless" is to greatly underestimate him and to minimize the danger he poses. Holder is pure authoritarian evil personified.
And remember, Romney appointed extremely liberal judges in Massachusetts instead of conservative ones. Why would he do anything different if he was president?
(contrary to the hunting photo, the 2nd amendment covers a lot more than just hunting)
Here’s an idea, let’s ban incompetent, lying people from holding any public office. Yeah, let’s start with the head of the Department of Justice. I think that would set a great example in our Federal Government!
BTW, is there really a link between Holder and the Chicago Mafia? (Since public shame does not work with Democrats, I thought I would try a typical “dirty-tricks” style, unfounded rumor that the Democrats have always used so expertly in the past).
As defined as any semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine and a capacity in excess of twenty rounds. Well, maybe five. Now, they also want to ban handguns, but they won't come right out and tell you that. Yet. And semi-automatic shotguns. And hunting rifles, too, because they can be used for purposes other than hunting. Remember JFK? His former secretary certainly does.
Let's face it: guns are dangerous and people can't be trusted with them because they make liberals wet their pants. Now pardon me; I'm going out to buy that Norinco SKS I've had my eye on for months, 'cause I need to have it ready for the Creepy-White-Guy-Survivalists-With-Gadsden-Flag-Bumper-Stickers meeting I'm going to tonight, along with a six-pack of Bud and a pouch of Red Man chew.
Correct. His conclusions are utter BS. The decrease in crime rates have tracked the increase in gun sales.
Anyone that wishes to ban guns must be viewed as a traitor and a promoter of Hate. Banning guns is a direct infringement on the exercise of a Civil Fundamental Right. Gun ban zealots are no different than the KKK, Nazi’s, Black Panthers, et al.
There is no justifiable reason to ban any kind of small arm except to further an unConstitutional Agenda. Holder is promoting an agenda of Hate. Hitler would be proud.
This photo is a real problem and why I do not like Santorum. He does not understand that the Constitutional right to gun ownership has nothing to do with hunting and sports endeavors. It has everything to do with self defense.
It also has nothing to do with self defense. It has everything to do with maintaining the security of a Free State. That means having the militia outfitted with ARMS of its own. Hunting and self defense are mere byproducts of the 2nd Amendment.
Cox and the NRA have spent millions of dollars, perhaps billions over the years bribing members of Congress from both parties to suppoert our cause. One would think that for that kind of money, the NRA ought to be able to round up a bi-partisan group of senators and congressmen to publically demand a special prosecutor. Yet all I hear is silence.

It’s difficult to follow Holder’s logic here, but it goes something like this …
The Obama administration — particularly Eric Holder’s Justice Department — oversaw an epic scandal whereby our own federal government illegally funneled thousands of firearms into the hands of Mexican drug lords. This contributed to the death of one U.S. Border Patrol agent and hundreds of Mexicans.
Despite being head of the Justice Department and our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, Eric Holder claims he doesn’t know how or why this scandal occurred, or even who under his charge may have authorized it. He also refuses to turn over critical documents to congressional investigators that could help prevent something this tragic and corrupt from ever happening again.
Therefore, Obama and Holder are confident that if they can ban a large number of the legal firearms that law-abiding Americans use every day for self-defense, hunting, and recreational and competitive target shooting, it will help solve Mexico’s crime problem.

Add another great book to post 6 above. It too is fiction but could be a heads up on our future.
“Unintended Consequences”
A novel by John Ross. 1996
“It has everything to do with self defense.” very true and also don’t forget Thomas Jefferson’s quote.
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.”
And that’s why Jefferson has always been a hero of mine. We are damn long overdue..
The Turner Diaries were also a Neo-Nazi manifesto to turn the US into a new Reich. No thanks.
I wonder what percentage of shootings involve firearms that fit his definition of “assault weapon”.
We can’t get rid of these stupid bastards fast enough. It’s a shame that the republicans seem determined to keep them in office....
