Pelosi tosses cold water on assault weapon ban
By Mike Soraghan
Posted: 02/26/09 11:59 AM [ET]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tossed cold water on the prospect of reinstating the assault weapons ban, highlighting Democrats’ reluctance to take on gun issues.          

Attorney General Eric Holder raised the prospect Wednesday that the administration would push to bring back the ban. But Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated on Thursday that he never talked to her. The Speaker gave a flat “no” when asked if she had talked to administration officials about the ban.

“On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I think it's clear the Bush administration didn’t do that.”

Outside of the dig at the recent Republican president, that phrase is the stock line of those who don’t want to pass new gun control laws, such as the National Rifle Association.

The White House declined to comment on Holder's remarks, referring reporters to the Department of Justice. The DoJ did not respond to The Hill's request for comment.

The only reason is b/c Heller upset the applecart. Maybe they have to re-evaluate their legislation.

Maybe it's a stall tactic.

OR...maybe she knows that it would cost her the support of her Blue Dogs, which in turn would cost her the position of Madame Speaker. If she loses the Blue Dogs in the midterm election then she loses her job. Perhaps she isn't willing to repeat the mistakes of 1994 and give up her gavel.

Never underestimate the desire of powerful people to retain their power.

Yeah, and the ATF is helping to protect us.



Folks, these are lying deceitful subhumans that will stop at nothing to see us become virtual slaves to their plans of a socialist utpoia. They don't care about honesty, they just want to see a boot on your face. They have an uncontrollable urge to put you under the gun and toil for their vision of humanity in shackles. Make no mistake folks, that's the only word for spending 6 months of the year working to pay the govt.; shackles.

Democrats know that gun control is a long term losing issue for them.

Sure they get the ban and everyone (except gun owners) feel happy for a few weeks but in the end they lose the majority because those gun owners (including democrats) are pissed off.

Even on DU the idealistic democrats that support gun bans are told to STFU by thier more calculating and "important" members.

Well.



Maybe our only hope is that they're too damn inept in dealing with each other to actually decide on policy for something controversial with a long history of battles.



Knee-jerk, emotional reaction policies like the Porkulus may be their only forte.

I don't believe her.  

She is probably just reluctant to pass anything because passing new gun laws doesn't allow her to spend any of the taxpayers money.

Don't trust the bitch.  There are rumors of a plan to ban the importation of assault weapon type ammo (.223, 5.56 x 39, .308 etc) through an Exceutive Order.  The gun grabbers wouldn't need an ASB bill then because with ammo at $2-3 a shell nobody could afford to shoot or stockpile ammo.

I would find it surprising that Holder made a comment like that without having some idea that Obama was interested in reinstating the ban.  Or he could just be a complete idiot.

I think maybe Nancy's got her sights set on something a little bigger than your flash hiders and bayo lugs, and is afraid of using up her one good chance to stick it to the gun guys.

Either that or she remembers the grief they caught from this shit the last time, but my money's on the former.
