WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Before the Senate Judiciary Committee November 18th, 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder revealed a stunningly broad and aggressive anti-gun agenda.
"The President of the United States asked that politicians not use the Ft. Hood attack to engage in 'political theater.' It appears those committed to attacking gun owners and the Second Amendment simply can't help themselves and are engaged in blaming guns and gun owners on the heels of this terrorist attack. Sadly it looks like 'politics as usual,'" said LEAA's spokesperson, Ted Deeds.
After explaining and defending his decision to give enemy combatants constitutional protections and the right to public trial in civilian courts, Attorney General Holder revealed his support for a national gun owner registration scheme and authorizing the government to ban firearm possession for any person by merely adding that person's name to the terror watch list.
Drawing reasonable conclusions from what Holder publicly said, we now know:
* Holder wants a national, permanent gun registration system administered by law enforcement. A registration of honest citizens that have cleared the federal background check for gun purchases with those records permanently retained by and shared among law enforcement. * Holder wants new federal authority to prohibit any person on the federal watch list (reported to be 400,000 names) from buying guns and supports confiscating guns from those on the list who possess them.
Transcribing General Holder: "The position of the Administration is that there should be a basis for law enforcement to share information about gun purchases." "... [It's not] inconsistent to allow law enforcement agencies to share that kind of information, for that information to be retained and then to be shared by law enforcement." "It seems incongruous to me that we would bar certain people from flying on airplanes because they are on the terrorist watch list and yet we would still allow them to posses weapons." {Emphasis added}
LEAA's Executive Director Jim Fotis said, "Those behind the badge don't believe more restrictions on honest gun owners is a reasonable, practical or constitutional response to acts of terrorism. As a retired officer, I know that America's men and women in blue want to fight terrorism, to stop terrorists; not waste time keeping records on innocent gun owners!"

The only apparent difference between Holder and the dishonorable representative Jefferson of Louisiana is that Holder has not yet been convicted.
Why not aggressive mooslum control?
all registered republicans and independents on the list....
Democrats not on the list...
That’s how you remove guns from the anti-government free people.
Right to Bear Arms...Constitution...
It will come down to the simple fact that words won’t be the response to their diminishment and disappearance of our rights.
I guess they think their approval ratings aren’t cratering fast enough...
Heinrich Himmler
So nice of them to parlay this into gun control, no? Join and support the NRA, EVEN IF YOU DON’T OWN A GUN. A disarmed public is slavery!
It’s NOT gun control we need.
We need Mohammedan control.
They should be registered as potentially hostile to the US Constitution, having no allegiance to it. The first time they do anything stupid, off they go to whatever vermin-infested Mohammedan utopia they wish, surrendering the US Passport along with their boarding pass.
The Obama Admin was waiting for their first “gun” incident. The silent Civil War is on and they are just taking over everything in sight.
He's gonna get folks killed.
So someone being an active Major in the army wouldn’t be able to purchase a gun? FU obama and your cronies!
Do not register anything and pay cash for all ammunition.
So, A Muslim extremist attacks an American military base and this administration retaliates with an attack on law abiding American citizens.
We all knew that they’d come after the guns. This will be the spark that sets it all ablaze and I, quite frankly, hope that they push this effort really hard. It will destroy them.
Well Communists can not take total control and banish the Constitution without confiscating Guns and Eliminating Free Speech. Maybe they made their move too soon.
“Attorney General Holder Reveals Aggressive Gun Control In Response to Ft. Hood Terror Attack”
WRONG ANSWER, again!
Let’s register the Muslims instead...
For a tyrants agenda to succeed, gun control is an absolute necessity.
