The link provides the best info. He basically states that by not releasing the photos, it hurt their push for gun control. Anyone who ever said there isn't a push to use a tragedy for political purposes, here's proof that it's exactly the reason.

quote:

On January 29th Attorney General Eric Holder said the public would have pushed Congress to support gun control if the photographs of the slain children at Sandy Hook Elementary had been released


quote:

[If] the American people, legislators, [and] members of Congress had the ability with me that day – to walk through the classrooms and see the caked blood... if they had seen the crime scene photos of those little angels – I suspect that the outcome of the effort we mounted last year would have been different.

I agree. I mean, there should be a law that says you cant bring guns to school. If there was a law that said that, this would've never happened.

Or better yet, why not make a law that says it's illegal to kill other people, especially children, with a gun that isn't yours. Or is yours, for that matter. If there was that law, then, well, lots of shootings would never happen.

He didn't want to pass over a good crisis when it was in his lap to utilize. This admission is just another in the long line of abuses made by the travelling BOZOS. Rex and Jeaux will be here shortly to express that this travesty would have been a good exercise of govt. oversight.

Does he regret not showing dead bodies of all the Mexicans killed because of his gun running?

When is he going to release the pics of the dead children at his family's abortion facility?

Only if he hadn't been caught giving the cartel the guns to do so with. It's ridiculous no charges or lawsuits have been brought against the Administration over all those deaths.


If Holder and this administration had spent half the effort to actually do something about crime and address problems, as they have in going after political enemies, this country would be in a little better shape than it is today.

Were all the dead Mexican children killed by Fast and Furious guns no big deal?

Isn't making laws based on pure emotion SOP for dems?

Tragedies are the VERY BEST reason for political action.

Yeah, because releasing pictures would have put into effect laws that would have stopped individuals from stealing guns from legally purchased individuals and stopped them from breaking the no firearms in school zones laws or even that pesky illegality of murder in general...

I said it yesterday and I'll say it again, holder is a bigger piece of shite than Obama.

As someone else pointed out.. your statement would mean you are in full support of the Patriot Act? Iraq and Afghanistan invasion?

So if the American people had watched the killing of OBL live with BHO what would the effect be as well Mr Holder?
