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 Clintons 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 weve seen in crime, and certainly would have a positive impact on our relationship and the crime situation in Mexico.Its difficult to follow Holders logic here, but it goes something like this
The Obama administration particularly Eric Holders 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

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.
