Oh my: Eric Holder calls for ‘tough penalties’ for gun traffickers

Too bad the attorney general wasn’t talking about getting to the bottom of Fast & Furious, his own gun trafficking scandal.  No, no — he was encouraging the federal government to crack down on Americans’ gun rights, not those of the Mexican drug cartels.  And he said it with a straight face.

If you want an assault rifle, you’ll just have to get it from your local ATF office from now on.  Tell them the Zetas sent you to get your 20%-off cartel coupon.

    The Fast and Furious king selling assault and auto weapons to the criminal drug cartel is going to get tough on guns. Oh right, only on legal ownership and honest citizens – can’t have them having guns.

    Since eric, and his merry minions, will first in line no one else need worry. With that many ahead of them it will be over one hundred years before their case comes up.

      This coming from the AG who’s DOJ just negotiated a plea bargain with a straw purchaser who bought over a dozen military style semi automatic rifles during the “Fast and Furious” scandal that amounted to less than 10% of the possible sentence. Holder shouldn’t even hold a law license. He has openly lied in court. Even the judge called him on it. As Janet Reno’s second in command, the judge didn’t see fit to hit him with contempt of court charges like he would’ve the rest of us.

    Fast and Furious and then their organizing and carrying out of the Colorado and Newtown shootings
    should be enough to lock them all up for treason. No one in the MSM will dig into these crimes because they are so entrenched in following the mantra of this global social agenda. If you don’t think Soro’s will pay to have murder done to reach his and Ofurhers goals you are sadly mistaken. They all wear their Brown Shirts proudly. Heil Ofurher!!!

    There is something really creepy about Eric Holder…and what’s worse he doesn’t even know exactly what it is…other than he knows the nerd dork creep factor is deeply rooted inside his noggin.

    The light skinned black dude who spoke perfect English standing the entire time during the high school parties in the friends living room…. with a beer in his hand…..barely talking to anyone…and when the party was over…..he wound up dumping out most of the same can of beer…because it got warm 3 hours ago. The guy with the 3 hour old…same warm can of beer in his hand….who felt that holding the beer can was more important than either drinking it…or not drinking it. In other words…”Look at how much control I have over things that I don’t have control of”

    Holder saying what he did was almost as hypocritical as when Obama pledged to bring to justice the perpetrators of the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

    Ok, glad he agrees,,,,Holder should turn himself in to the nearest federal authority and allow himself to be sentenced to the maximum sentence for running guns to the Mexican drug lords that have killed unknow numbers of Mexican civilians. Add to that number, Brian Terry and countless other Americans (and Mexicans) that have been murdered and will be murdered in the future with Erics Guns,,,,,,,,,,

    Yesterday, Holder was in court pleading with the Judge NOT to release the information that Issa’s Committe has been requesting for months. I don’t know how it ended…I was listening to Rush describe Holder pleading and begging the Judge…We will see what happens?

    This is EXACTLY why I have been wanting a massive march on Washington, all carrying signs with the words “Fast and Furious” on ALL of the signs. And some tape over our mouths if we want to use a leftist tactic. What a message THAT would send! Imagine if we were MILLIONS strong and all with the same undeniable message on our signs, never a word need be uttered.

      And not covered by any on air media outlet, except for the Blaze, so in effect, in our Orwellian Nation, it would have never occured. If you can muster even 10, 000 patriots, may I suggest you take and hold the capital until you are properly relieved by the interim President of the New States of America; Glenn Beck!

    President Obama, Joe Biden and Eric Holder should all be ashamed. They are putting all these gun restrictions on all of us, while they hide behind the Fast and the Furious, and all those associated with it. The federal government needs to take responsibility for their actions.

      It will never happen. The media is the one that keeps things foremost in people’s minds so if they don’t hound the administration for answers, we will never get to the bottom of anything this administration does no matter how grievous.

      Not to worry. If there is an issue or if holder gets caught doing something crooked the Justice Department will investigate and get back to the american people.Nothing to worry about.
