The Senate confirmed Pres. Obama’s choice for Attorney General, with the help of 19 spineless Republicans. If one of these folks is your representative I suggest you give them an earful. And come next election do everything you can to defeat them.

Now, can we expect the NRA to adjust their ratings of these Senators based on this vote? I sure as hell hope so.

Here is what the GOA had to say about Holder in a January 13, 2009 letter:

Holder, who served as Deputy Attorney General from 1997-2001, supports a 3-day waiting period for handgun purchases, one-gun-a-month rationing, licensing and registration of all gun owners, mandatory so-called smart gun technology, a lifetime gun ban for certain juvenile offenses and regulating gun shows out of existence.

As Janet Reno’s top deputy, Eric Holder was the go to guy on gun control issues. In a 1999 statement, Holder told members of Congress not to cave in to “the special interest that value the cold hard steel of guns more than the lives of children, neighbors and police officers,” and urged them to pass legislation that would have destroyed the gun show industry.
