In an interview Monday night on CNN’s “The Lead”, Eric Holder explained that his biggest failure as Attorney General was the inability to pass gun control legislation after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

“I think the inability to pass reasonable gun safety laws after the Newtown massacre is, for me, something that I take personally as a failure, and something that I think we as a society should take as a failure,” the former Attorney General said.

Throughout Eric Holder’s public career he has been quite an advocate for gun control.

He infamously stated during a 1995 speech that it was necessary to “brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”

After the Newtown shooting the Obama Administration pushed for Universal Background checks but a bipartisan bill to enact such a measure never made it out of the Senate.

The gun control efforts were highly sought after by the White House despite the fact that the active shooter in Newtown, Adam Lanza, did not own the gun he used to kill 20 people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. Lanza had used a registered weapon owned by his mother.
