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!"

I notice that has persisted for a while; is it deliberate? Some sort of "play on words"?
And a government takeover of healthcare isn’t???
Look at it this way...Gun control will now have anotherr ally in healthcare...
Guns can now be labeled as a healthcare issue (crisis) and be regulated and controlled beyond any un-Constitutional scrutiny...
It takes the legislation, executive and judicial branches out of the loop on the issue and turns it over to an un-elected, executive appointed “Healthcare Czar”...
See how easy that was??? And will be in short order???
The answer is muslim control, not gun control. Ban muslims, not guns.
Rosie O’Doughnuts doesn’t need spoons. She sucks it straight down like that nauseous yogurt commercial.
Anyway, there’s a storm brewing across this land. Ammo is still scarce and no ammo manufacturer would be so foolish as not to have beefed up production over the past year.
As for liberals dancing in the blood of murder victims - what’s new?
NO MUSLIMS = NO TERROR!
"Govmint watch list" Every town has one:

“Communicating with Al Qaeda isn’t a CRIME, is it?!!!” - Chrissy Matthews DNC-PravdaMS-NBC
I'm not kidding.
We're not going to disarm. We're not going to obey you. We're not getting onto your trains.
We aren't even going to let you bury your dead.

You’d never lose a bet that the proponents of gun control will dance on the graves of the victims of mass shootings. They usually do it within a day or 2, sometimes while the bodies are still warm. Scumbags, ALL of them.
Those above who discussed the connection between the healthcare bill(s) and gun control are correct, but more so than they’d like to be: the proposed legislation makes it a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison to wilfully fail to have insurance (either private or the “Public Option”). So, if you decide not to have health insurance, and are convicted of this “crime,” you now become a prohibited person and can never own a gun for the rest of your life, even if you never serve 1 second in jail.
I, for one, would like to see the following 2 sites get a lot more traffic - maybe that would get the attention of TPTB: http://westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/ and http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/ I am not associated with either site in any way, other than as a reader. I don’t even know any of the posters or blog owners. They just have a lot of good information posted on them...information that each person should use as their own judgment tells them to. But the simple fact is that a large and sustained bump in the number of hits on each site
will scare the fecal matter out of the gun-grabbers we employ (for some reason as yet unknown by me).
Yeah, and you don't want to violate your oath of office, where you swore to stop all perceived incongruities!
Oh... wait...
You swore to uphold the Constitution in your oath of office. You know, that document with the whole "...shall not be infringed" thingie in it we call the Second Amendment?
The right to fly on airplanes doesn't seem to be in there, Mr. Holder.
One is a right; the other is not.
How many people have to die before we have background checks and a five day waiting period to buy a Koran?
” I for one am getting fed up with the erosion of our rights.”
And Obama hasn’t even been POTUS for one year yet . Unless he is shown to be the usurper he is , we are screwed . THIS is why Rev. Manning and others fight on re: the BC . IF Beck , Hannity , and Limbaugh are TRUE patriots they MUST pool their resources together and find out the truth in order that this country may survive . They have the money , connections , etc...Do they have the will ?
