As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.
I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller," Holder said, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon.

Come get em Holder. We’ll see who the cowards are in good time.

So very true. He has always claimed to want to be a different kind of president. One that isn't partisan, that all will love.
Bullshit!
For the month that he's been in office, he hasn't done, or even said one dammed thing we agree with. He is purely partisan and absolutely liberal. That, or he has absolutely ZERO clout with his democrat congress.

on the upside....I see increased book sales for someone I’m fond of

And I'm sorry Bobby Jindal isn't going to lead us out of this one.

It's apparent that he is attempting to methodically dismantle this once GREAT nation, piece by piece ~ at WARP SPEED ~ and REMAKE IT in his image.

I guess these would be banned too. I saw a video on You tube and some guy was shooting these things. Scary sh*t to be sure.
In dealing with conventional liberalism, most Conservatives can agree with many of their goals, just not the idiotic way they attempt to achieve them.
For example, most Conservatives would agree with Dr. King about building a color-blind society. If Blacks are willing to join the Army, bleed and perhaps die to help US interests in Iraq, what idiot would try to tell them they must be second class citizens.
No Conservative I know would really want that. We want equal OPPORTUNITY for all.
But we strongly object to the idiotic, disproved, tax-and-spent, give special privileges to Black that liberals so love.
But Obamaism is far beyond any previous definition of Liberalism. This is simply an all-out obvious attempt to destroy America.
That's an absolute idiotic statement.
It wasn't the conservatives that caused this, it was those who chose to vote for a left leaning, open borders, fat cat, good ol boy moderate politician in McCain.
If it were not for you and the GOP pushing through such a lame a$$ candidate like John McCain, we'd have won the White House.
McCain's candidacy was horribly ran and the guy fumbled all over himself time and again. Palin, as cute as she was...no where close to playing hardball with the crooks in D.C.
Besides, he’za damn RINO to the 3rd degree. In fact, he contemplated leaving the GOP for the Dem party a couple times.
Were you aware that our own government estimates that thousands of illegals voted in this election? Are you even aware that the level of corruption on top of that could quite possibly have tipped this election?
No sir, it was you all that chose to put “The Maverick” for change in the forefront when there were many true conservatives during the primaries.
Try voting conservative next time and we might win.
Would that be "The Great One?" Not even released yet, and already flying up the charts!

The interesting aspect is that AG Holder clearly kept the Heller decision in mind.
As in, 0bama’s not attempting to repeal Heller. This is no accident. 0bama knows how to read the tea leaves. What it means is that 0bama is convinced that the SCOTUS will not overturn or restrict/limit the Heller ruling.
That part is the bright side of the atomic flash.
Anyway, Heller clearly makes complete bans illegal. Well, the old saying is “If you are going to kill the King, kill the King.” Meaning, don’t do something half-way that merely angers a powerful opponent. That’s us. We’re his opponent.
And he’s crying out that he doesn’t have the legislative tools to do to us what he wishes. He obviously needs new legislation...which he knows will be limited by Heller.
The other interesting aspect is that Holder recognizes that a sunset provision can reverse whatever it is that he is setting out to do.
Frankly, the Left is setting itself up to overreach here...as they can’t get a Heller-approved total ban...and the lack of a sunset clause will make any such attempt even less popular.
Dems lost badly in the 1994 elections after ramming through the AWB, after all. Yeah, they can pass a new one (if they haven’t learned their lesson).
There’s gonna be trouble.
We should all get ahead of this and begin contacting our representatives, as if they would listen...
