[QUOTE="chuckels59h, post: 896340, member: 2728"] Still think you're safe ????? Now tell me how it can't/won't be done. [url]http://www.examiner.com/x-2684-Law-Enforcement-Examiner~y2009m11d20-Gun-control-Stealth-agenda-revealed-by-Attorney-General-Holder[/url] November 20 Law Enforcement Examiner friends, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America, yesterday responded to President Barack Obama's Attorney General's US Senate testimony on Wednesday, November 18. According to the 65,000-member LEAA, Attorney General Eric Holder "revealed a stunningly broad and aggressive anti-gun agenda. The President of the United States asked that politicians not use the Ft. Hood attack to engage in political theater. It appears those committed to attacking gun owners and the Second Amendment simply cant help themselves and are engaged in blaming guns and gun owners on the heels of this terrorist attack. Sadly it looks like politics as usual, said LEAAs spokesperson, Ted Deeds. After explaining and defending his decision to give enemy combatants constitutional protections and the right to public trial in civilian courts in New York City, 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 persons name to the terror watch list, Deeds revealed in a statement. Drawing reasonable conclusions from what Holder publicly said, Deeds points out that: 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 posses them. General Holder testified: The position of the Administration is that there should be a basis for law enforcement to share information about gun purchases. ... [Its 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, said Holder. LEAAs Executive Director Jim Fotis replied, Those behind the badge dont believe more restrictions on honest gun owners is a reasonable, practical or constitutional response to acts of terrorism. As a retired officer, I know that Americas men and women in blue want to fight terrorism, to stop terrorists; not waste time keeping records on innocent gun owners! Based in Virginia with over 65,000 members and supporters nationally, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America (LEAA) is the nations largest coalition of law enforcement professionals, crime victims, and concerned citizens dedicated to making America safer.
