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.

Out of the communists pig Eric Holder comes words of pure shi!. How can a stupid nitwit like him even open his mouth. It is insulting.

At 1:18 in the clip: “..and brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”

He spoke real truth about Oppressives there.

[Carthego delenda est]

From the video: “We need to brainwash people”... AG Holder

How can a stupid nitwit like him even open his mouth. It is insulting.

The bigger question is, why do we tolerate human excrement like him in the upper echelons of our government?

[illiac]

If they only had a brain....

[Gaffer]

Both my wife and 30 YO daughter are scheduled to take the Basis Handguns 101 course next week....one night of classroom and one night of shooting (200 rounds).

I’m going to get with them Saturday and we’ll pick out the weapons they’ll use and we’ll familiarize them with the two weapons before the class.....they are really excited!

When my three grand daughters are old enough, they’ll get the same training and opportunity to see what it feels like to be able to protect oneself.
