Is the Obama Administration pushing for gun regisration?

Sure looks like it.

After explaining and defending his decision to give enemy combatants constitutional protections and the right to public trial in civilian courts, 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 person's name to the terror watch list.

Drawing reasonable conclusions from what Holder publicly said, we now know:

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 possess them.

The Obama Administration is not our friend. Obama has previously used Holder to float ideas/proposals and gage the reaction. His comments on an assault weapons ban a few months ago were pretty much rejected out of hand. If they don't get the same reaction on this invitation to a slippery slope the next thing we know they'll be pushing a bill in Congress. Write your Congress critters and let them know what you think on this one.
