The Volokh Conspiracy - Eric Holder on firearms policy:

As Deputy Attorney General, Holder was a strong supporter of restrictive gun control. He advocated federal licensing of handgun owners, a three day waiting period on handgun sales, rationing handgun sales to no more than one per month, banning possession of handguns and so-called “assault weapons” (cosmetically incorrect guns) by anyone under age of 21, a gun show restriction bill that would have given the federal government the power to shut down all gun shows, national gun registration, and mandatory prison sentences for trivial offenses (e.g., giving your son an heirloom handgun for Christmas, if he were two weeks shy of his 21st birthday). He also promoted the factoid that “Every day that goes by, about 12, 13 more children in this country die from gun violence”–a statistic is true only if one counts 18-year-old gangsters who shoot each other as “children.”

Obama is no friend of the Second Amendment. Search through the public statements and actions of all of his appointees in regards to firearms, gun control, and the Second Amendment, and this becomes obvious.

We need to point this out loudly and often. One of the most effective strategies in hamstringing an administration is for a large and dedicated minority to complain to their friends and family in very specific terms why they dislike or fear that administration, and do so using convincing arguments. “Obama wants to grab everybody’s guns and leave us defenseless against violent criminals” is such a vehicle, and we should use it - especially since, as we always do in economic hard times, we are likely to see crime numbers rise sharply.
