Attorney General wants Aggressive Gun Control In Response to Ft. Hood Terror Attack
Attorney General Holder revealed his support for a national gun owner registration scheme and authorizing the government to ban firearm possession for any person by merely adding that person’s name to the terror watch list.
Drawing reasonable conclusions from what Holder publicly said, we now know:
•Holder wants a national, permanent gun registration system administered by law enforcement. A registration of honest citizens that have cleared the federal background check for gun purchases with those records permanently retained by and shared among law enforcement.
•Holder wants new federal authority to prohibit any person on the federal watch list (reported to be 400,000 names) from buying guns and supports confiscating guns from those on the list who possess them.
AGl Holder said: “The position of the Administration is that there should be a basis for law enforcement to share information about gun purchases.” “… [It's not] inconsistent to allow law enforcement agencies to share that kind of information, for that information to be retained and then to be shared by law enforcement.” “It seems incongruous to me that we would bar certain people from flying on airplanes because they are on the terrorist watch list and yet we would still allow them to posses weapons.” {Emphasis added}
Sounds like there already is a list?
Prevent the watched from owning a gun? Have the been convicted of a felony? Uncle Sam watches everyone that doesn’t mean take there guns away.
I think Attorney General Holder needs to get a clue.
