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.

What is all this c$$p about having a “conversation.” What they want is not talk. They want confiscation of all long guns other than bolt actions and muzzleloaders. And stamping of ammunition for the remaining guns to make it prohibitively expensive.
But I guess some focus group somewhere told them to call it a conversation.
What’s hard about “shall not be infringed” ???
Holders main problem seems to be his lack of willingness to answer questions. He had no problem being ot front of the Jorge Zimmerman issue. Just the words of a dishonest racist, disregard.
I wonder if the Sandy Hook weapons are traced to FAST and FURIOUS if that would embarass the MSM to cover the story?
My first hard question is, why isnt Holder in prison?
ditto
The only hard question Holder needs to ask is this, “Am I ready to kill thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of his people to kill thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of those damn bitter clingers?”. We are all waiting for his answer.
Like anyone cares what Holder says.
He is merely Obama’s puppet, he says what Obama tells him to say.
“COME AND TAKE IT”
This is Eric Holder! 2nd amendment is an obstacle which must be removed.
One question I would have is why these events keep occurring in supposedly gun-free areas.
Sure thing! Right after you tell us why you murdered American border agents, eh?
Two reasons they won’t ban the drugs.
First: Money. The majority of the type of SSRI drugs sold are sold in the US. By a large margin. The Pharma corps have been pushing for more, not less, sold.
Second: If we don’t drug up these people, there has to be a way to control and treat them. For many, that means an asylum or something similar. The public would rather that not happen.
After they ban all guns, and I fear they will, you will see knife and large vehicle attacks.
I wonder how many kids are killed each year in auto accidents/biking accidents/ etc. I bet it’s way above the gun toll.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Seems to me that the last clause of that is sacrosanct if and only if the first one is also sacrosanct.
“A well regulated Militia”
In those four words, the Second Amendment does suggest there should be some kind of concept of what’s “well regulated”.
In my lifetime there have been four incidents of spree killing in Britain - Monkseaton, Cumbria, Hungerford and Dunblane. This is worth pointing out to the gun control advocates who’re fixated on the “thirty times as many deaths per capita in USA” statistic. Even though we’re major league controllers, these things still happen because we can still own firearms legally.
However, the British gun control advocates have the false premise that if we just did what Japan has done it’d solve the problem. It wouldn’t. Because in all four cases of spree shootings the failures weren’t in firearms control, there were some pretty obvious concerns about the mental states of the gunmen which weren’t dealt with. Whether they had legally owned weapons or illegally owned weapons is irrelevent. It’s a red herring.
Most of those kinds of guy didn’t spontaneously “snap”, they were on the wrong side of fruitloop for weeks if not months or years before they went on their rampages. The answer wasn’t to limit everyone elses’ access to firearms, it was to have their mental health issues spotted and dealt with.
But in the UK, as in the USA, I think there’s an awful tendency for people to “walk on by” even when they can see that someone in their own community is in serious - and I do mean serious - need of immediate help. And if people will “walk on by” when someone’s in the street bleeding, you can bet your boots they’ll also “walk on by” when that person’s having some kind of a mental breakdown.
Even good samaritans often can’t cross the street fast enough these days. They don’t want to “interfere” because all they get for trying to help is a bunch of grief.
That’s the problem.
you can’t just confine people because they have behavior
issues unless those issues rise to the level of crime.
Holder is not one of us.
WHAT PART OF SHALL NOT INFRINGE DO THEY NOT UNDER STAND!
Last time I read the US Constitution these are STILL MY RIGHTS!
