Does Attorney General Eric Holder Want to Violate Constitution with New Assault Weapons Ban to Lower Mexico's Drug Crime?

"My name is not Stedman"

The picture above is from ABC. I love how ABC plays with the images in this photo and has Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr.'s image superimposed over rows of guns. The picture basically implies that Stedman is coming for your guns. I doubt Holder will go door to door, but he certainly wants to ban "assault weapons" sales from this point forward.

"As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border.

"I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum."

Nevertheless, the Constitution and Second Amendment are not written for any other country's benefit except for the United States of America. If the Constitution and our laws indirectly provide a benefit to our neighbors and allies throughout the world, then that is a bonus. I'm all for helping Mexico combat its drug crime, but the need to lower drug crime in Mexico should never supersede the Constitutional protections for American citizens.
