http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/pelosi-tosses-cold-water-on-reviving-assault-weapon-ban-2009-02-26.html 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. |

I think I may have to write a letter to Nancy Pelosi supporting her.
The very lady who single handedly killed "rick rolling". |

Holder fucked up and spilled the game plan;Pelosi is pissed and doing damage control.
|
|
Quoted:
She's just trying to get us to let our guard down. She probably read the other thread and made this statement as a response. |
|
The only reason is b/c Heller upset the applecart. Maybe they have to re-evaluate their legislation.
Maybe it's a stall tactic. |
|
Quoted:
She is full of shit 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. We'll see.... |

|
Only reason why she's against it is because she's pissed that her"high holy highness" wasn't consulted first. Useless, elitist bitch!!!
|
|
If Pelosi is throwing cold water on it then it means she does not have the votes.
|
|
It may be a trap, but it buys us some time. The closer we get to 2010 the better.
|
|
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.
|
|
Work filters out most pics, so apologies if it has already been said:
It's a Tarp!!! |
|
Oh sure, I believe the rantings of a dittsy despot like San Fran Nan. Screwball socialists don't believe in truth, only lies to justify their own ends. She will try when SHE wants to but the question is will we the people let her think she can succeed?

Okay, who was the arfcommer who had sex with her? I seem to remember an old thread about this very subject.

Where's that picture of the old grilled cheese sammich? that isn't too say that she isn't deserving of a bukkake from Peter North. |

For her age, I don't think she looks bad at all. Quite the opposite.
In my experience, that's one thing Kali gets right –– their wimmenz are pretty fit. |
|
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. |
