Holder: Failure to Pass Gun Control Is My Biggest Failure
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 20, 2014 | Breitbart TV

Posted on 10/20/2014 4:57:57 PM PDT by PROCON

Attorney General Eric Holder said that his biggest failure during his time as head of the Justice Department was failing to pass expanded gun control laws and criticized former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for his negative characterizations of the president during an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” on CNN.

“I think the inability to pass reasonable gun safety laws after the Newtown massacre is, for me, something that I take personally as a failure, and something that I think we as a society should take as a failure” he stated when asked what he considered his greatest failure.

At least he didn’t fail to get people killed with the guns he sold the cartels ...

It would be important, for this to happen. Basically give him two options.

1.) Plead guilty, and give up everything he has on Obama, Jarrett, Rahm, Clinton, and whatever other high crimes and misdemeanors have occurred on his watch. In return he gets sent to a low security Prison for the rest of his life.

2.) Go to trial, and give him the harshest sentence possible. Try him for high treason, HCMD, fraud, whatever else we can. Make sure high treason sticks. Then punish him accordingly. He’ll squeal like a piggy on his big buddies in DC. Then try them too.

If justice is not served on these people, during or after they leave government. America can not survive. Treason or incompetence (whichever it is. I don’t think it could POSSIBLY be incompetence, or stupidity) of this level can not go unpunished. Someone down the line will do it again, but exponentially worse.

Newtown was an aberation. Lanza stole the guns from his mother, after he murdered her. Her firearms were legally purchased.

Holder certainly has a pair of brass ones, doesn’t he?

His Fast and Furious gun running to Mexico resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, including two U.S. Border Patrol agents, and he has the unmitigated nerve to try and deprive innocent Americans of their Second Amendment Constitutional rights under the false guise of “gun control.” What a piece of work!

Ahh, don’t sell yourself short, Eric. You’ve been a bigger failure than that countless times.

He is unwittingly admitting that he used the office of Attorney General as a
political cudgel instead of discharging his duties as proscribed by the law.

He's a constitutional scholar like his boss OBolo.
Figure a sarcasm tag isn't needed.

Holder, you idiot. The Attorney General’s job isn’t to pass laws -— it’s to see that they’re upheld. No wonder you’re such a failure.

Table manners for eating asparagus.

When asparagus stalks are firm and aren't sauced, it's fine to pick them up with your fingers, one stalk at a time. (Asparagus is traditionally a finger food, and the English and many other nationalities still see it as such.)

Think twice, however, about using your fingers for unsauced, firm spears if your fellow diners use a knife and fork or if you're a guest at a formal meal. When in doubt, use utensils.

Agree 100%. The communists must be held accountable if we are to stand as a nation.

Funny how there are two different perspectives on this. America's greatest failure was to prevent Holder from running guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels. Guns that were used by terrorists to kill innocent Americans and Mexicans. That was one of our biggest failures.

America's second biggest failure was not to bring Holder to justice. I prefer arresting him and letting the victims of gun violence handle him in Mexico.

I think getting caught arming Mexican cartels would count as a top list of failures. BUT, we know this was “under the radar” attempts to ban guns and all he regrets is getting caught.

As the Attorney General, what power does Holder have to even pass laws, much less feel "bad" about not doing it???

Hey, Black Panther Eric.

The AG does not MAKE law, he ENFORCES existing law, which includes EQUAL PROTECTION for White folks, in case you didn’t know.
