Justice Department plans to ignore Second Amendment (for Mexico's sake)

I fear the Obama Administration has absolutely no idea why the Constitution was written, much less a respect for it.

Today Attorney General Eric Holder said the administration hopes to re-institute the idiotic 1990s "assault weapons ban" (that, incidentally, was not about assault weapons, was not a ban, and never saved a single victim's life).

What's worse is the reason Holder sited when making the announcement: "I think that will have a positive impact on Mexico, at a minimum."

Mexico?

Are these people %$#*ing serious?

"Shall not be infringed" is pretty clear, stark language. It was written that way for a reason — because government cannot be trusted to take just a little bit of freedom away and let it go at that. Once they start infringing, they won't ever stop.

And now the attorney general of the United States of America is putting the crime-fighting interests of our weak- and corrupt-governmented neighbor to the south.

For one thing, ten bucks says the drug dealers, human traffickers and sex slave-runners will still behead their enemies. (Maybe the United States should ban knives!)

For another thing, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, was written to protect Americans from their government. Fighting a foreign country's crime-battles is not our job.
