Senator Hutchison Defends 2nd Ammendment From Obama's Attorney General Pick


Obama's pick for Attorney General has publicly and intentionally misinterpretted the 2nd Ammendment.

A coincidence that he was chosen by Obama as Attorney General? I think not.

Yeah, it was covered.

The only problem was that enough of us (you know, we millions of gun-owners'? ) didn't hammer our legislators' nationwide to change the outcome.

That's the way it works, so now we get to deal with the results of that inaction.

Unless the Dems are totally stupid, they should realize by now that we're too dis-organized and too weak-willed to put up any type of effective legislative fight.

Look for the AWB - soon. Pete

why must we have traitors and tyrants in our midst!:cuss:

AS far as I am concerned any goverment official who says the 2A is not for the citizens of the U.S.A and support and partake in gun control ought to be convicted of treason because either they are with we the people or they arewith THE TERRORISTS! Of course I know they have ulterior motives and its not for the safety of the american people.



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 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms.' If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' -- Ken Konecki



It is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks. It is legal and lawful to own a shotgun or a rifle. We believe in obeying the law. -- Malcolm X



When only cops have guns, it's called a "police state".
Love your country, but never trust its government.
-- Robert A. Heinlein


"One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms."
-- Constitutional scholar Joseph Story, 1840

No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.
-- 16 Am. Jur. Sec. 177 late 2d, Sec 256

"Taking my gun away because I might shoot someone is like cutting my tongue out because I might yell `Fire!' in a crowded theater."
-- Peter Venetoklis

The first video is where Hutchinson spoke in congress. It's AWESOME and she bought to the table some things I have never really thought about.

Like if 2A were meant to be a GOVERNMENT ONLY thing, Then why is it in the Bill of Rights ?

Excellent Point eh ?

If he has offered this opinion since the Heller ruling, this bothers me. The SCOTUS having held otherwise, he needs to get with the program.

I just looked and there do appear to be transcripts from Holder's confirmation hearing on line at a NY Times site.

Following is a portion of that transcript. It remains to be seen how hard they will work to circumvent this in real life.

TFred



Coburn: Heller. I believe SCOTUS got it right. Tell me where you sit today and with that thought what you would do with that.

Holder: Post-Heller the options we have in terms of regulating firearms has been narrowed. It has not been eliminated, but reasonable restrictions are still possible. The Heller decision has to be factored in now. I don't think we should turn away from discussions about who has guns and how they should be used. I think that we're in a different world.

Coburn: Do you agree that outside of sporting use there's a right to own a gun?

Holder: [a little surprised by the question] Post-Heller definitely. I agree with Obama closing gun show loophole, banning sale of cop-killer bullets. Those are the things we need to focus on.

Coburn: As AG will you make a commitment to defending Heller?

Holder: Sure.

Coburn: Would you also do so if SCOTUS granted Cert for a case revisiting Heller.

Holder: I'm a lawyer who follows stare decisis. Ultimate arbiter has said what 2nd Amendment says. Heller is a significant opinion.

You could take the names out and you'd still smell politician all over it.

Chambliss was endorsed by the NRA. Actually the whole GOP along with Fake News Channel stabbed us by there bias during the GOP primaries. Want to ensure your gun rights, look to my avatar.

"cop-killer bullets".

That one still gets me. A wadcutter is just as lethal as a hydroshock, is just as lethal as a steel-core round.

This jackhole is going to mess things up. He's an aspiring lawyer looking to get good with the agenda.

I'd like to especially thank my crooked senators, Feinstine and Boxer, for not listening to the voices of their constituents. Despite calls/e-mails they voted in favor. I guess the few hundred of us in SoCal can't be louder than the few-tens-of-thousands of anti-rights hippies in metro areas and NorCal.

Anti-gun Eric Holder Sworn In As Attorney General
-- See who stabbed you in the back

Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert
8001 Forbes Place, Suite 102, Springfield, VA 22151
Phone: 703-321-8585 / FAX: 703-321-8408

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

GOA wants to thank all of you for your hard work in opposing the
extremely anti-gun Eric Holder for Attorney General.

While we lost the battle on Monday (by a vote of 75-21), you guys
registered your opposition loud and clear.

There is no doubt that your activism truly made gun rights THE issue in
this nomination battle. Every Senator who spoke against Holder
mentioned Second Amendment fears. And even among many of the Senators
who voted for him, there was tremendous concern regarding Holder's
stance on gun rights.

As stated by The Washington Post yesterday, "Holder overcame concerns by
a small but vocal group of GOP lawmakers about his position on national
security and GUN RIGHTS, as well as his recommendations in two
controversial clemency decisions by President Bill Clinton."

This was truly a battle worth fighting. In fact, the man who was being
deified two weeks ago is now the very same President who is widely seen
as not being able to shoot straight in selecting cabinet members and is
already starting to lose public support. The battle over Holder was
certainly central to taking the bloom off this rose.

So thank you for helping magnify our voice on Capitol Hill. GOA spent
many hours lobbying against Holder, as we were the only gun rights group
in Washington to tell Senators we would be rating this vote in our
end-of-session grade report.

With Holder in office, you can expect to see renewed efforts to drive
gun dealers and manufacturers out of business -- similar to the efforts
he supported while in the Clinton administration.

Expect also to see attempts to classify more guns as "not suitable" for
sporting purposes. And don't be surprised to see attempts to use the No
Fly List to disqualify gun owners from exercising their Second Amendment
rights. (Bureaucrats can add innocent Americans to the No Fly List --
and have done so -- without any due process of law being followed.)

With Eric Holder at the helm, the list could easily become a No Gun
List, as there are already discussions in Washington about doing this.

All the above horror scenarios are policies that could conceivably occur
without ANY legislation being passed in Congress. That is what makes
Holder's confirmation as Attorney General so dangerous. Through the use
of Executive Orders or by prosecuting gun owners, Holder can inflict
much damage upon the Second Amendment -- even apart from lending his
support for legislation, such as renewing the semi-auto ban.

So what can we do now? Is the battle over Holder finished?

No, not yet. There's one more action item that needs to be taken.
There are 75 Senators who ignored your pleas to vote against Holder.
They need to hear from you and know that you're upset.

They need to be reminded again and again that voting for gun control is
what cost Bill Clinton's party the control of Congress in 1994... and Al
Gore his election in 2000... and John Kerry the presidency in 2004.

And don't forget, there are the 21 Senators who voted right. They need
to be thanked. So please don't file this alert until you've taken the
action item below.

ACTION: Please use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at
http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your Senators a
pre-written e-mail message. You will be prompted to input your zip
code, which will then bring up the correct letter for your Senators.

The pre-written letter will differ according to whether your Senator
voted in favor or against Eric Holder. (Three Senators missed the vote
entirely. GOA is treating their absence as an anti-gun action.)

NOTE: GOA's pre-written letters are usually editable by the sender. In
this instance, they are not for the sake of avoiding confusion, so that
Senators who voted wrong are not thanked (and vice versa).

What exactly is a "cop killer" bullet? I wasn't aware that bullets were designed to specifically kill cops. Are they genetically different? Or are all bullets "cop killer" bullets?
