H0lder IS a criminal for his involvement in the government’s gun law riots at Waco and Ruby Ridge.
Eric Holder is going to try to “shame” somebody. LOL!
I’m not defending Holder, but these remarks were made in the 90s at the height of the gangbangerr culture in cities. These were the days when a kid was being killed or wounded in NYC every few days (before Rudy). Having a “9” was a symbol of success and power in the hood. So people like Holder believed they had to change that image and make guns less attractive to the teen males in cities. It was not, at the time, aimed at the guy who’d take his mini14 to the range or the fields twice a week and fire off ahundred rounds. It probably is today, but when a person’s words from 18 years ago are used to argue against them today context matters and in this case Cupp got the context, if not Holder’s beliefs, wrong.
Hilarious—The Left effectively eliminated shame as a societal/cultural guardrail decades ago. The tactic now is to bully opponents into submission using the media strong-arm.
What gun haters are learning is that law-abiding gun owners won’t bend over like RINO politicians, and it’s driving them crazy.
I know this is about S.E. Cupp, not the NRA, but this reminds me of something important.
I believe if this thing turns into Civil War, the birth of a police state or even just a few Waco-like incidents, historians will look back and lay some of the blame on prominent conservatives for refusing to talk about the elephant in the room.
To be more specific, the NRA issued a statement this week about how disappointed they were that the President is going back to the same old playbook. Well, that’s fine, but what they should have done is walked out of the meeting and told the President they would be back to discuss gun violence when the guy who got two U.S. Border agents and 14 innocent Mexican high school kids killed had been given his walking papers. Then they should have added that having a discussion on gun violence with Eric Holder in the room makes about as much sense as discussing it with Adam Lanza.
Yeah, the press would have howled, but everyone would have been talking about Fast & Furious again for a couple of days, and the dead would have been honored instead of forgotten.
