Holder in 1995: ‘Really Brainwash People’ to be Anti-Gun
Filed under2ND AMENDMENT, LAW
157 COMMENTSAttorney General Eric Holder supported using Hollywood, the media and government officials in order to “really brainwash people” into opposing firearm ownership, according to a 1995 C-SPAN video that emerged Sunday online.
Holder, who was then the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, was addressing the Women’s National Democratic Club on Jan. 30, 1995. In his speech, he held up anti-smoking campaigns as a model for an anti-gun campaign.
“What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we’ve changed our attitudes about cigarettes,” Holder said.
Video of the speech was discovered by Breitbart.com.

TombstoneThe only thing that I can say is IN GOD WE TRUST all others hold at bay.- TombstoneI know this admn. is frustrating but this language puts you on their low level. I will bet you are really a better person than the comment made out of frustration!!!!!
- BobPart of the problem is that the so called conservatives are sitting on their asses while all this goes on. They are as complicit as Holder, obama and clinton. When they grow a set of testicles and start to defend the people of this country from this wanna be king then I will have some respect for them. Until that happens they are no better than obama.
- Ron PowellThe purpose of Fast and Furious was to blame easy access to guns in this country as an excuse to create new laws regarding their use. It was a devious scheme cooked up by the commie regime but backfired because of their incompetency. They're not in Chicago anymore and there are a lot more smarter people out here than they are. Obama and Holder should be tried for their crimes against this country and hung like Obama's namesake, Sadaam Hussein.
- darkcyderHilarious- asking Hollywood to make guns look bad is like asking a hooker to make sex look bad. HAH!! I always get a chortle when I see some hollywood star carrying on about viloence when they just starred in something where they blew up seven thousand cars and shot twenty bad guys (or 20 good guys). Or how about their stnance on pollution when they just sent massive amounts of smoke into the atmosphere just to make a movie?? They are too hilarious. I'm with Laura Ingraham on this one- shut up and sing or shut up and act.
How long is this Jerk going to hide behind the Obamma skirts? Stupid Republicans will never get rid of this Bum.- lady kroftLet's all ask Mr. Holder if his body guards/secret service carry guns, and if so why?
Why doesn't he have the "obligation to retreat" like they think the rest of us do?
Will he change his guards minds about the way they think of guns?
Is this sauce for the goose is that of the gander's? What , what, what???
HA HA HA!!! FAT CHANCE!!What a moronic blatant idiot. - WHAT GUN HAS JUMPED UP AND SHOT SOME ONE BY IT SELF.

Your Eyes-! There are enough chapters to keep you intertained on "Their Conspiracy" that's working-! - DrSiqueExtemists, such as Eric Holder, will never understand that it isn't about the damned guns. It is about the freedom to defend oneself and this would include against government tyranny. The Second Amendment was not put in place as a sales pitch for gun manufacturers. It is a brick in the wall of protection between "We The People" and them, the government. Sure makes for a great day at the range, too, if you can get over all of those really scary bang bangs.
- guestthe second amendments main principal was for we the people to be able to protect ourselves from the Government that is why this administration is so adament of gun control all dictatatorships have done this the second amendment is to prevent our goverment from becoming a dictatorship and our only recouse should those in power try to impliment a dictatorship.....power to the people not to those governing
- jmsmaxwellThe liberals have been attempting to do that since the end of WW II and with Hollywoods help they promote
the message constantly. How bout Erich "Slap and Foolish" do his job and quite promoting drug and gun sales south of the border? - mimiHolder and Obummer must GOOOOOOOO, they are ANTI AMERICA!!!!!! WE THE PEOPLE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO HAVE GUNS. YOU know the PARTY OF SLAVERY DOESN'T WANT THAT BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE THEN ANYTHING TO RUN OUR LIVES!!!!! A VOTE FOR OBUMMER IS A VOTE TO BRING DOWN AMERICA!!!!! THAT PARTY OF SLAVERY ,WILL BE VOTED OUT IN 2012,WE AMERICAN WILL BE TAKING BACK OUR AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT,FREEEEDOM!!!!!!!!
- Msgt_correashow moreDirect message to Mr. Eric Holder,Sir, you have just exposed yourself as a full-blown "Communist." We Americans are not as stupid as your feebled mind must think. We know all about your "Communist Rule for Revolution" in America, and for your information, "Gun Control" does not prevent homicides, thefts, murders or suicides.Your anti-smoking anology won't hold water when you try to compare it to gun ownership; if you do, then you are an idiot, sir. If you think taking my guns away to prevent me from killing you; then I would declare that I can easily kill you by hand to hand combat, throw you out of a window, kill you with a pen or pencil, kill you with a kitchen knife, kill you with a baseball bat, kill you by poisoning, kill you with a spear, bow and arror, kill you with a rope, scarf, wire, into strangulation. Get this through your communist brainwashed head Mr. Eric Holder, Gun Control will never prevent any acts of violence.Who do think the "militia" are in this country anyway, and why do you suppose our Founding Fathers secured the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution? Why do you think Elbridge...
- colt38In 1995, that is when slick Willie and Horrible Hillary were in the big boy chair. Seems like maybe Obama and Holder are trying to carry on for the Clintons. I guess when somebody shoots somebody else either legal or illegal this whole left wing bunch of wackos would feel better if you used a knife, or a ball bat, or threw the bad guy out the window. If the guns are taken, the Constitution is over. And Obama will be our new dictator. No more Congress, no more Senate, no more Supreme Court. You take one amendment and you have to take all ten Bill of Rights. That is what will happen if they take the guns. We no longer have a defense.
