Holder Tells Congress Obama Wants To Ban Guns

FAIRFAX, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- 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 re-institution 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.

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.

What’s particularly galling about Holder’s shallow and illogical attempt to use “Fast and Furious” to further the Obama administration’s gun-ban agenda is that during the same hearing, he lectured Congress for playing political “gotcha” games in an election year.

Amazingly, Holder seems incapable of understanding that this isn’t a Republican or Democratic issue, it’s an American issue, and all Americans deserve to know how and why their government purposefully allowed thousands of guns to flow into the hands of murderous Mexican drug cartels.

The family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry deserves to know why two of these guns were found at the scene of Terry’s murder.

Eric Holder’s Justice Department oversaw this illegal operation, but all Holder is willing to do is call for gun bans on law-abiding Americans, withhold critical information from Congress, and pat himself on the back for a job well done.

As Holder told Congress on Thursday: “I’m proud of the work that I’ve done as attorney general of the United States, and looked at fairly, I think I’ve done a pretty good job.”

Eric Holder has long since proved himself inept and incapable of holding the trust that Americans place in our nation’s chief law enforcement officer. The longer Holder refuses to step down as attorney general, the more lasting his damage to this sacred institution will be.

Holder would be impeached and in jail if the MSM wasn't spinning this story to protect him.

“As I walked up, they closed ranks, next to each other,” the witness told Fox News at the time. “So I walked directly in between them, went inside and found the poll watchers. They said they’d been here for about an hour. And they told us not to come outside because a black man is going to win this election no matter what.”

He said the man with a nightstick told him, “’We’re tired of white supremacy,’ and he starts tapping the nightstick in his hand. At which point I said, ‘OK, we’re not going to get in a fistfight right here,’ and I called the police.”...”

‘Progressives’ are rightfully afraid of the American people, whom they seek to undermine and betray. They lie about their convictions to get elected. Then they do all in their power to confiscate the property and liberty of free citizens.

Now that they have conned us into allowing $2.2 Trillion Federal per year to be spent buying votes through ‘entitlements’, we will probably never be able to reverse the destruction they pursue.

An M, that’s what. Sorry.

History is repeating itself. Re-read the history of 1930’s Germany for a refresher on this Regime’s aspirations, IMO.

Death Panels anyone?

Eric Holder’s Continuing Favors to Criminal New Black Panthers
by J. Christian Adams
April 2011

Americans are familiar with the favors that Eric Holder’s Justice Department extended to Jerry Jackson and the New Black Panther Party. The voter intimidation case against Jackson and two other defendants was dismissed and the inside story is the subject of two chapters of my book Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department. What most people don’t know is that Eric Holder’s DOJ appears to be extending special favors to New Black Panther Jerry Jackson still – namely keeping him out of jail for violating federal firearms laws.

Jackson has a long violent criminal history. He is also a Democratic Party elected official in Philadelphia, not that those two facts have anything in common, of course. He was elected in May 2010 to a seat on the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee in the 14th Ward. No word if he will be in Charlotte for the 2012 DNC convention. ..."

The Kingpin wants to blame drug violence away from his drug lord leader Obama, our drug president. This is all this scandal is all about, a drug deal with Mexico, blaming those with arms and capable of shoeing away drug dealers away from their kids and schools.

[Logical me]

Nothing new here. King Obama is a wanna be dictator and he must remove guns from Americans. Only one having guns is his army.

Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.):

“See, my concern, Mr. Chairman, is there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made. But I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem. And the problem is anybody can walk in and buy anything – .50 caliber weapons, sniper weapons – buy them in large amounts and send them down to Mexico. So the question really comes: what do we do about this?"

There's been a lot said, but nobody has called it pre-meditated, agenda-driven murder (it didn't matter who died) you POS senator.

DEPOPULATE socialists/totalitarians from the body politic.

Yes, Germany had the SA and now we have the Black Panther movement, we have blacks attacking whites and latinos and asians all over the country with immunity. Most Americans are saying oh it can’t happen to us, it is just isolated incidents. Well people it is not isolated it is coordinated. What Obama wants is his Reichstag fire. And this summer he has his minions in the OWS and now Black Panthers? Wake Up people, if Obama feels he is losing the Election he will send out his peeps and when someone retaliates in a big way he has his Reichstag. “ For the good off the country and the safety of the American people I am suspending the Elections until the time the country is no longer in danger, Allah Akbar Er I mean God Bless America”. Ok a bit of humor at the end but why do you think the FEMA camps are all over the country?
