Eric Holder: Inability to Pass Gun Control My ‘Single Failure’

She said, “Children were slaughtered in their classrooms [at Sandy Hook Elementary] and we have not made any meaningful progress on changing the access to guns in this country. Are we a nation of cowards when it comes to guns?”

Holder responded:

Well, I’ll say this, [walking through the school] was the worst day I had as Attorney General. It is, I think the single failure that I point to in my time as Attorney General, that I was not able to… convince Congress to really follow the will of the American people — which was to enact meaningful, reasonable, gun safety measures. The gun lobby simply won.

Holder went to say he does not believe America is a “nation of cowards,” but he does believe “members of Congress need to have a little more backbone and stand up to what is a distinct minority, even within… the NRA.”

He did not address the resounding defeat Americans dealt to gun control and gun control candidates during the 2014 midterm elections.

[Q-ManRN]

How about a cowardly Attorney General who puts the Democratic Party and his own radical ideology before the good of the nation and the American people by covering up an unbelievable number of scandals? Fast & Furious, Benghazi, spying on journalists, keeping communication records from EVERY American citizen, lying to the American people about keeping their health plans, their doctor, the impact on health insurance premiums, sympathizing with violent protestors who destroyed property, supporting unconstitutional expansion of the power of the Executive branch, ignoring Democrat political activists attempting to influence elections of an international ally Israel, releasing terrorist leaders without informing Congress within the legally mandated time frame.

Maybe Eric Holder should get a backbone and try standing up for the American people instead of putting the party first. He knows that the party leaders will reward him and tell him "well done, comrade!"

Who knows, Derrick?

You might still spend some time in a federal Supermax for Fast and Furious.

[Q-ManRN]

Ping!

I think Eric is being a bit modest, he had a lot of failures.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Our DOJ AG might want to acknowledge our Constitution and the 2nd Amendment. Idiot. Loretta Lynch is more of the same.

“....to enact meaningful, reasonable, gun safety measures.”

In his mind, what do you suppose “meaningful, reasonable” are?

It’s not background checks. If they got their background checks, then they’d want more because background checks would not decrease gun crime. It can only mean one thing, confiscation.

[Darren McCarty]

Holder's been pushing bans since he was working for the Butcher of Waco, Janet Reno.

[bolobaby]

The amazing thing is that he believes his position is supposed to have some kind of legislative component...

[V_TWIN]

Oh, but gun’s were ok back in the day huh:

[Iron Munro]

His entire existence is a failure and a waste of good oxygen.

[tioga]

Fool. He heads the justice department not the legislative branch.

[KarlInOhio]

How many Mexicans and Americans died in his Fast and Furious gun running done in an attempt to discredit legal gun ownership in the US?

[Mr. K]

He doesn’t want ‘gun control’, he wants a total repeal of the 2nd amendment and confiscation.

[Sacajaweau]

Good people owning guns is not the problem....Therefore taking away their guns will mean...as we all know....only criminals will have guns.

We all know that nut cases will find a way to carry out their bad deeds.

And as far as I can see....all these nuts were on some kind of meds. When will someone make the real connection....

[TexasCajun]

Here's just one of many Eric Holder successes!!

74 men, women and children died in the inferno at Waco on April 19, 1993.

[fatnotlazy]

He's turned the Department of Justice into the Department of Injustice. Instead of upholding and enforcing the law for all, the department has become an attack dog against whites, Christians, heterosexuals and anyone who is contrary to his ideology which is shared by his masters in the Obama administration and the various Muslim interests controlling it.

I'd say he's been a success — a success in trampling the Constitution and perpetrating evil.

[falcon99]

No, his biggest failure was his failure to support and defend the Constitution of the US by his race based interpretation of the laws.

More guns in the hands of us “common folk” simply make the world safer—you (racist, commie) DUMBASS!!!
