McClatchy<\/a> reports that outgoing (not fast enough) Attorney General Eric Holder told MSNBC that he considers the fact that he couldn’t write new gun laws his “single failure” in that office;<\/p>\n

In the interview, Holder was asked if the United States was “a nation of cowards” when it comes to guns, a reference to a statement he made in 2009 that the U.S. was a nation of cowards when it came to discussing race relations.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think we are a nation of cowards. But I think that members of Congress need to have a little more backbone and stand up to what is a distinct minority even within, for instance, the NRA, and do the kinds of reasonable things that the American people simply want to have happen,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the gun grabbers didn’t make their case to the American people that more gun control would have an impact on gun violence. They tried to use the school shooting in New Town as an excuse to write more gun laws but the shooter there had broke several existing laws to commit that crime. ANd they haven’t learned their lesson;<\/p>\n

A group of Democrats led by Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and members of the Connecticut delegation introduced a bill last week Thursday to limit high-capacity magazines but said its passage would depend on a major public movement behind further gun control measures that has not happened.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Their problem is that they’re unable to accept that there are sufficient gun laws in this country, but those laws need more enforcement. It doesn’t help that Holder and the guys are aiding criminals in their endeavor to send more illegal guns to Mexico, essentially framing legal gun owners and dealers in this country for this administration’s own crimes. I’d call that a failure, too, Mr. Holder.<\/p>\n

Democrats trying to regulate legal gun ownership in this country had a hand in the defeat of Democrats in the last midterm election. The Democrats should show a backbone and admit to the American public that more gun laws won’t solve the gun violence problem in this country, that we need to start blaming criminals instead of blaming the 6 million members of the NRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
