Holder would love to ban semiauto firearms. So would Obama. So would Pelosi. So would Emanuel. So would Biden. But somewhere among those three there is likely one neuron screaming “DON’T GO THERE YOU FOOLS!”

And I think that neuron wasn’t in Holder’s head the day he made that statement.

For all the worry and paranoia … I truly believe that if the liberal dems push to federally ban a whole bunch of commonly owned semiauto firearms … they will have their asses handed to them.

There are bunch of mistakes with this. One, they failed to coordinate their message with congress. Two, they failed to read the trends concerning today and what happened to Congress. Three, they used the issue of border violence as a pretense to disarm Americans. This is their most crucial mistake because:

1. It focuses attention on the unstable situation below the border. This will only serve to ratcheting up calls to secure the border- something which Obama does not want to start doing at all.
2. It places partial blame on that situation on the American people (Our gun shows and Americans are sending evil assault weapons across the border) which will not play well at all (especially with people in Arizona, N.M., and Texas).
3. It gets the administration off message from the focus on economic restoration.

This is only bad for the Obama administration, so we should be hopeful they continue along this route. ;-)

“On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,”

Words I never thought I’d hear from someone like her.

Be very wary of them. I doubt she means what you think she does. I interpret this as “last time we did it that way, we got our asses handed to us, so we’re going to do it via a different route this time.” Consider that one congresscritter (I forget his name right now) saying that ATF wasn’t enforcing the law banning imports of “non-sporting” guns. That’s what she means by enforcing the laws we have now. Keep your eyes open for a bait-and-switch. If we’re busy fighting any possibility of an assault weapons ban, they might flank us with nationalized health-care.

Words I never thought I’d hear from someone like her.

And I will send my letter to all of them.
