Eric Holder: Gun Owners Should ‘Cower’ in Shame Like Smokers
Vision To America ^ | January 12, 2013

Posted on 01/12/2013 11:33:58 AM PST by yoe

The hot new video at MRCTV.org is 1995 footage of Attorney General Eric Holder, when he was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. In his remarks before the Woman’s National Democratic Club, broadcast by CSPAN 2, Holder said people should be ashamed to own guns, just the way that cigarette smokes now “cower outside of buildings” to smoke.

“What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we’ve changed our attitudes about cigarettes. You know, when I was growing up, people smoked all the time. Both my parents did. But over time, we changed the way that people thought about smoking, so now we have people who cower outside of buildings and kind of smoke in private and don’t want to admit it.” Laughter followed.

Who knows, China could be paying his wages with loaned money. But then again, he could also be getting paid from newly printed fiat money too.

BTW - A wholly agree that he is a dirt bag.

He’s right. I DO cower in shame when I consider that my puny weapons are no match for the firepower held by governmental authorities. The same authorities who do not trust me to defend myself against criminal excess.

My cat can handle himself, but I weep for any dog, who patrols helplessly in the yard, cigarette between his teeth, awaiting a bullet from a brave LEO, intent on demonstrating his bravery.

Never trust a government that doesn’t trust you...

Holder’s 1970 Afro looks like what we used to call `an explosion in a Brillo factory’.

Cigarettes are now a successful black market item.

Gun runners are chomping at the bit.

CORRECTION:
Fixed it. That's better!

These 2nd Amendment haters should be exiled from our country.
They deserve NEITHER the freedoms our U.S. Constitution provides, NOR the rights to speak against it, IF THEY WILL NOT DEFEND IT.
QUIT COMPROMISING WITH THESE COMMUNISTS COWARDS !

Paraphrasing ——

What we need to do is change the way in which people think about liberalism, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to quote Marx anymore, it's anti-intellectual and dishonest to be like the college professors who praise socialism and communism despite the historical record which shows them as failed and flawed sociopolitical philosophies that hurt people and rob them of individuality and freedom.

Holder, the thing you should fear the most is soap. . . when you are in prison and the soap is dropped.

American gunowners today will no more 'cower in shame' than did our forefathers at Bunker Hill cower before the British armies. Suggested reading: Paul Revere's Ride by David Hackett Fischer
