Alert: AG Holder - Gun control in response to Ft. Hood.

Well folks we said it was going to happen. We knew that it was going to happen. If you don't believe me check out the blog http://firearmsites.com/blog/Mayor-Daley-Blames-Fort-Hood-on-Love-of-Guns-a29.html.

Despite President Barack Obama asking Congress to resist turning the tragic shootings at Fort Hood into a "political theater." Attorney General Holder has moved for aggressive gun control.

"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}"

So there it is folks in black and white. We are once again in one of those critical battles to defend our right to keep and bear arms. Registration is just a gateway to confiscation as history has shown. Do not lie down and take this one, we as Americans need to stand up, stand our ground and show how much we disapprove. Become active in the fight for the Second Amendment, join the NRA, GOA, JFPO, become an advocate for our guns. If you want to keep them, its time to start fighting the political battles.
