Eric Holder Supported DC's Restrictive Gun Ban in Amicus Brief

Reason reminds us about Eric Holder's hostility to self-defense in your home:
Holder was one of thirteen former Justice Department officials to sign an amicus brief on behalf of the D.C. government in the Heller case. That document, which endorsed restrictive gun control measures and cited rare and sensational events like the Columbine and Virginia Tech school shootings as evidence of "the deadly toll that firearms exact," also made the case for the collective rights interpretation that has now been rejected by both the Supreme Court and leading liberal legal scholars.
What's needed is one U.S. Senator needs to have to courage of former Senator Jesse Helms and put a hold on the nomination of Eric Holder.
