Attorney General Holder Reveals Aggressive Gun Control
In Response to Ft. Hood Terror Attack
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!"

It is the testimony given by Holder on November 18, 2009 before the
Senate Judiciary Committee, the one your post claims outlined Holder's
"...stunningly broad and aggressive anti-gun agenda." The document is
titled: "“OVERSIGHT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE".
Reading it and searching through it, there is no reference to firearm
registration, gun control, watch lists, etc. I think you have been
swallowing too much of the baloney from questionable sources without
even checking into it.

What!!! You're asking a rightwinger to actually READ something? You have
to be kidding? Especially when it doesn't agree with their already set
opinions.

Real honest guy. I see why you trust his ass.
Silence Gives Consent! An old teaching in the parochial schools. If your
Washington people don't hear from ennyone, then they will logically
think that they can Get Away With It !! Whatever it may be. In this case
"gun control".
There's No Use Lamenting on what they are doing. without making some
effort to correct, or better yet, prevent a situation from fully
developing == through your Letter & Comments!
Such as the gun control issue before us.

No, that is NOT the testimony, that is the PREPARED STATEMENT.
>Before you Copy and Paste, Read and Verify.
YOU have been CAUGHT LYING.
With the lead in comment:
"Attorney General Eric Holder went before the U.S. Senate Judiciary
Committee today (November 18, 2009) to explain why the
government will try the alleged mastermind of 9/11 in civilian court."
Once again....in Holder's statement and subsequent testimony on
November 18, 2009 there is no mention of the items in "Steve from
Colorado" post.

Oops! Caught LYING, again.
That cite DOES NOT provide a transcript of his entire testimony.
