Stigmatize, demonize, ostracize. Yep, this is an effective method, especially when targeting the young, who struggle to conform and not be left out of the "in"group.
With many teachers on board with the anti firearms rights groups, they push their agenda to the young, and use peer pressure to advance their schemes. It is flat disgusting. Yea, we are supposed to be ashamed of being armed. Oh please!! As if I care what the hoplophobes think. We are supposed to just hang on their every word, and turn in our personal arms so as to conform to their views. Lest they think less of us. What nonsense! So, they target the impressionable young, like hyenas, and seperate, segregate, and eventually pull down the prey. What fine people they are.
What is it with RWNJs and the written word? Holder was correct. If we want to get rid of guns then it is going to take a massive change in public attitudes about them similar to what happened with cigarette smoking over the past 60 years. Who would have thought in 1950 that smoking would someday be socially uncouth and that it would be banned in most public places including bars? The same seems true with guns now. We can't imagine letting go of them. They are cool and project an image that young people and others covet. But if attitudes are changed, and owning or carrying a gun for non-sport purposes becomes a socially degrading trait, then there will be little resistance to serious gun control efforts. In fact, people will demand it just as they did with cigarette smoking.
It is a tall order though. Guns much more than smokes represent power. They appeal strongly to those of inferior education, intellect and social standing as something of an equalizer in their minds.
I love the go to defense for Obama: "Bush did it, too." Obama supporters love Bush, apparently. At least Bush got criticized for screwing up, Obama gets praised for it.
Eric Holder is an incompetent disgrace and if Obama wasn't corrupt he'd have been fired long ago. Or never even nominated.

Oh, if only Holder's fault was incompetence. He has been very competent in usurping the Constitution and established laws of our nation. He is a criminal quite simply, and a very competent one at that. He is still openly flaunting his (and his boss's) contempt for our system of law and will very likely completely escape punishment.

Bush got a free pass for the deaths of 4,500 soldiers searching for wmd`s but Holder should be impeached for the death of 1 border agent?
While we`re here,can you point out this Obama corruption for us?
Irrelevant. Bush didn't angle for restrictions on the 2nd Amendment because of gun violence. Barack Obama has, and therein lies the hypocrisy.
You don't get that though, right?
Actually, what I do understand is that gun proponents are now living in fear of a mass confiscation of their beloved guns, almost immediately after massacres and slaughter of human beings. Did you people really, really think that anti gun people would remain silent and so oh, this is all coincidental because there are so many repeating firearms in America?
Did it ever occur to you gun huggers that people are fed up with mass murders and that something needs to be done? It might come to amending the constitution if it might make Americans safer. America doesn't need 200 to 300 million guns, all it takes is one to perform mass murder.
