Holder: We Must Answer 'Hard Questions' About Gun Rights
Breitbart ^ | 12/15/12 | Mary Chastain

Posted on 12/15/2012 9:35:32 PM PST by Nachum

Attorney General Eric Holder made a few remarks about the massacre at Newtown, Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School that should raise some eyebrows.

"As a nation I think we have to ask ourselves some hard questions. We gather too often to talk about these kinds of incidents. We need to discuss who we are as a nation, talk about the freedoms that we have, the rights that we have and how those might be used in a responsible way. But for now I think we should concentrate on dealing with the situation in Connecticut and we are doing, and I said, the best we can at the Justice Department and throughout federal law enforcement."

Mr. Holder has not been one to hide his hatred of guns. In March Breitbart News uncovered a video of Mr. Holder talking to the Woman's National Democratic Club in 1995. He wanted a campaign to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way" and to use anti-smoking ads as a way to "change the hearts and minds of people in Washington, DC" about guns.

In Operation Fast and Furious the ATF allowed guns to walk into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Emails have shown officers discussing how to use these stats to enforce tougher gun control laws.

They are very sad. They do not have a God. They only have a government. The government must be able to save them, there must be some law that will save them from evil. They have to grasp onto the lie that a gun ban will stop the evil from happening.

Very sad.

This is the same communist who provides cash to buy and enables transport of AK47s to Sinaloa Drug Lords, so they can assassinate US Border Patrol Agents, other USembassy officials in Mexico, and countless Mexican victims. And then he denies and lies.

Coming out of the 2012 disaster, the Republican party was fractured. I can think of few better ways to reunify this party than to have the liberals go after our firearms. Rhey might as well try to confiscate our bibles. Molan Labe you SOBs.

Eric Holder is never going to walk away from the murder of Brian Terry. Fast and Furious will never be forgotten.

Yesterday, not a single child was murdered by a law abiding, gun owning citizen.... throughout our entire country.

I have owned guns for all of my adult life and even as a child. I have never once murdered a child. My personal guns have never killed any innocent person.

Yet the politicians want to talk about taking our guns away.... nothing seems more important to them today. These same politicians have done nothing to address the real problems that lead to this sick society.

If EVERY SINGLE law abiding citizen were to peacefully turn in all of their guns tomorrow, the yet to be committed mass murder would still occur. Those politicians will have done nothing to work on the real problem.

I am so sick of this war that our own government is waging against honest law abiding people.

If we as a People truly want to save lives, we MUST get these corrupt morons removed from power.

Another imminent crisis that must be used to distract the public from how ridiculously poorly this crony socialism is working.

Eric Holder believes that only Mexican Drug Cartels are allowed to have guns

Holder is so Third Reich, Hitler would have relaxed his hatred for Blacks to have him in his inner circle

“Another imminent crisis that must be used to distract the public from how ridiculously poorly this crony socialism is working.”

I agree with you. However, what these socialist criminals are doing is pure evil. They are exploiting dead children for their evil political gains. They aren’t honoring these children or the dead adults. They are walking over their dead bodies to further their communist, GODLESS agendas.

They are as evil as the demented shooter. Their hatred for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and the American people have no bounds.

EVIL!!!

Ask Cryboehnor.

True, the weak GOP got a contempt charge on Holder but didn’t bother to drag it into the news, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month and finally every year until he was removed.

The left is so much better at this and why the Hussein Asylum got another four years.

It is not pretty.

Hey Holder, if you're really concerned, why don't you propose this 'real world' plan?:

1. No more gun free zones. Period.

2. 25% of the teachers in every school district be required to take a two week "summer camp" firearms instruction course, 1st week basic, 2nd week advanced, by certified instructors.

3. The staff rotates every summer until 100% of the staff are handgun proficient.

4. At least 50% of the staff on any given day are carrying, with rotation of assignment.

Any logical argument against this proposal?

As you know the teachers in Israel are armed and have prevented many attacks on their children.

Ugh, er, What? We can't have that here? Why not? Is your kid worth it?

Oh yeah, I forgot, the 'end justifies the means' and 'don't let a good crisis go to waste.' I see. Well, thought I would ask anyway. . .

FlingWingFlyer ~: “My first “hard question” is, why isn’t Holder in prison? “

Good question !
It is hard for someone who is sworn to uphold the Constitution to keep his sworn oath and still handcuff himself.
The “Just-Us “ dept. in “Fast and Furious” ( 2 years , and counting) 9 people quit/fired , but no one in jail .
Benghazi = “Fast and Furious , part deux “ , three months and still waiting to hear from the Secretary of State... (yawn)
