Who agrees with US Attorney General, Eric Holder, in regards to curbing America's gun laws to better Mexico?

@RIPGOP

"The founding father's would not agree with the gun industry arming the drug cartels in Mexico. I'm SURE of that."

Let me explain something to you pal... these Mexican drug cartels are using FULL-AUTO AR-15s. Those are military weapons. The civilian gun industry does not even manufacture these.

If you buy an AR-15 at a Wal-Mart or something, it does not have the same type of barrel. Even if you modify it to fire full auto, you will only put about 50 rounds through the thing before that rifle becomes unusable.

Furthermore, the drug cartels are using fragmentation grenades. I don't know where those are coming from, but it ain't Wal-Mart!

Curtailing the 2nd amendment-protected rights of free US citizens has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with "Mexican drug gangs." Those weapons are coming from somewhere else (quite possibly from criminal elements within our own government and military -- the same people who want us disarmed!)

Also, I should add that the US and Mexican governments ship far more drugs across the border than these cartels they are supposedly "fighting." They don't want to stop the trafficking, they want to wipe out their competition.

Read up about the drug war. It's one of the biggest criminal scams in history. Now the people running it have the audacity to try to use their engineered crises as an excuse to disarm the population? Not happening.

By the way, I think if you told the founders that there was an all out war going on right across the border, they would probably demand that all citizens in the area acquire MORE firearms, and make the necessary preparations to defend their homes and towns if the violence spills across the border (which it already HAS, on multiple occasions.)

If the colonists who fought our revolution were alive today, this whole thing would have been over as soon as it began, and no criminal cartel or foreign troops would dare to come within 200 miles of our border!

And any discussion of disarming Americans would be met with immediate revolt (because the founders understood that any government that wishes to disarm its people is the enemy of its people.)

We all knew he Holder was gonna do this. This is a man that goes on what he wants and that is to have the Second Amendment Expunged.

If they try any more of the weapons bans that clearly do not work. Americans are going to rise up against a government that is clearly following the policy of Tyranny and oppression. I am a Police officer and there are so many laws that take away our rights.

When I was deployed I felt more free in a foreign nation Afghanistan serving in the military than I do in Massachusetts.

Each law is an infraction against liberty.

I agree with Forty 7 AND what people don't seem to know is that at least 50% of arms being purchased by Mexican drug cartels come from CHINA......not the US. They have no problem getting them into the country, by land, sea and air.

Eric Holder is an idiot - just like the rest of the Obama administration - they can't think themselves out of a paper bag, and yet continue to propose idiotic policy that results in the violation of the rights of American citizens. They are just a set-up for the coming global governing body -

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

What sense does that make???!!! The criminals will ALWAYS get the guns. Mexico has much stricter gun laws than America. How has that worked for them? The same thugs that don't even hesitate to use gun violence over there will fly low once they've crossed the boarder. One reason is that WE WILL FIGHT BACK!

Don't mess with Americans and our rights. .....or our freedoms. Because if you do, we will suddenly find the backbone that we have been missing for quite a while now.

Our founding fathers knew weapons in the hands of the civilian were one of the greatest defenses our country could have. Also they did not write any restrictions as to type of weapon we could own.

As a small child I would sit on my grandpa's knee and listen to the tales of our early Frontier. His dad was one of the first settlers, from east of the Mississippi, to be born in the Louisiana territory. Many of the Amerind were friendly but some were not and weapons were necessary to stay alive, both as defense and for hunting.

Today, our weapons are just as important for defense. The criminal has guns, which are not bought legally. If the general public is unarmed the criminal will overrun everyone who can not fight them back.

Eric Holder and our Illustrious Idiot by trying to over legislate gun ownership is laying a death sentence on the honest citizen of America and Mexico.

Those, who are illegal, in the drug cartel will be armed and our military is fighting in a foreign land , but even if they weren't they couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder along the border and stop them from coming over, but if our citizens are armed we can make a dent in their plans, even if we can't stop them.

In Mexico it's practically illegal (police discretion) already for any citizen to own anything more than a single shot .22. It would be better that they work on their own laws and their own enforcement of those laws. Holder is grabbing onto something he thinks might resonate among like minded fools. ...and I hope when they finally manage to ban guns in America that Holder and Obama are the two SOBs who come for mine!

Here is the entire paragraph: "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Though race related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race. It is an issue we have never been at ease with and given our nation’s history this is in some ways understandable. And yet, if we are to make progress in this area we must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us. But we must do more- and we in this room bear a special responsibility. Through its work and through its example this Department of Justice, as long as I am here, must - and will - lead the nation to the "new birth of freedom" so long ago promised by our greatest President. This is our duty and our solemn obligation." And no I don't agree with it. I think it's a load.

Holder is totally anti gun just like Obama. they think that taking away our guns is going to make us safer. I think that they forgot we are fighting 2 wars, soon to be 3 and Mexico is getting ready to fold any day now. makes me wonder what their agenda is because I don't think anyone can be that stupid and live. if they cancel the 2nd amendment then they cancel the whole constitution and I think they might have a little problem with that one.but on the other hand Bush already signed away the country to the NAU so we are already one country, they just haven't said it yet.WAKE-UP!

I agree with Lou Dobbs -- Holder doesn't know what he is talking about regarding this issue.Holder is against gun ownership and this is just his way of opening the door to complete eradication of the Second Amendment.

"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms..."

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference they deserve a place of honor with all that is good."

-GEORGE WASHINGTON

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

-Thomas Jefferson

"The great objective is that every man be armed. and everyone who is able may have a gun.""Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"

March 23, 1775:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! "

-PATRICK HENRY
