Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a verbal bombshell in the middle of an interview on Good Morning America April 7, and surprisingly, neither the press nor a majority of gun rights activists seemed to notice.
Responding to a question from ABC’s Robin Roberts, Pelosi said that while Congress apparently does not want to take anyone’s guns away, “We want them registered.”
Roberts: Under the Bush administration, you pretty much said the ball was in their court when it came to reinstating the ban. Now, it's a Democratic President, a Democratic House. So, is the ball in your court where this is concerned?Pelosi: Yes, it is. And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution because the court, in the meantime, in recent months, the Supreme Court has ruled in a very- in a direction that gives more opportunity for people to have guns. We never denied that right. We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines...
Perhaps equally alarming was Pelosi’s dismissal of an amendment on the District of Columbia voting rights legislation that would expand gun rights in the city.
Pelosi made the astonishing argument that the desire by District residents to have a vote on the House floor via a fully-recognized representative is “a civil rights issue.” However, in her opinion, requiring the city to recognize the right to keep and bear arms – that was affirmed by the Supreme Court last year when it struck down the District’s handgun ban – is “draconian.”
“I don’t think that that should be the price…to pay to have a vote on the floor of the House,” Pelosi told ABC’s Roberts.
Translation: Pelosi thinks one civil right is more important than another.
During his presidential campaign, President Barack Obama supported reinstating the federal ban that expired in 2004. In Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton supported a renewal of the ban.
Even if Pelosi was only alluding to so-called “assault weapons” that the Obama administration would like to ban – as acknowledged earlier this year by Attorney General Eric Holder – she certainly did not make that clear. And even if she were, gun rights activists will quickly point to California, where first there was registration and then came the ban.
That ban did not prevent a scumbag named Lovelle Mixon from gunning down four Oakland, CA police officers last month, nor did a federal statute prohibiting convicted felons from having any kind of gun keep Mixon disarmed. Yet Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has called for renewing the ban nationwide, ignoring the California law’s failure to stop Mixon from getting a gun.
California has the toughest ban on assault weapons in the nation.
Last month in Mexico, Holder told reporters that in the Obama administration’s effort to crack down on the alleged illegal smuggling of guns from the U.S. to Mexico, “I don’t think our Second Amendment will stand in the way of the efforts we have begun and will expand upon.”
About the same time, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was reminding reporters in Mexico that she had favored a semi-auto ban while in the Senate, and that the administration is “exploring” some avenues regarding these firearms.
Obviously, I am someone who supported the assault weapons ban which was passed in 1994, but it was passed with an expiration date and it expired ten years later. I, as a senator, supported measures to try to reinstate it. Politically, that is a very big hurdle in our Congress. But there may be some approaches that could be acceptable, and we are exploring those.
Whether Pelosi or Holder or Clinton meant to alarm American gun owners – tens of millions of whom have never harmed a soul – their rhetoric has sufficiently aroused concerns. Considering the anti-gun track records of Pelosi, Holder, Clinton and their boss, those concerns are legitimate.
While MSNBC’s David Schuster sought earlier this week to demonize these gun owners in the wake of the Pittsburgh shooting, that’s hardly the way to build consensus.
There are no easy solutions, but this much is certain: Banning firearms from law-abiding citizens because criminals use guns illegally is not one of the options.

Puuullleeeeeease. Pelosi would ban her own Granny if she thought it would help push her liberal agenda.
Couple of things to point out here.
Pelosi, who are "we?" Those who support the Constitution, or those who want to abrogate it?
Eric Holder, I don't know where you get your information from, but the whole gun-smuggling-to-Mexico issue we have proven to be largely overblown.
Good article, keep 'em coming!
I hope the Democrats have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and the NRA. For too long these special interest groups have mislead the public and intimidated politicians.
The assault weapon ban should be put back in place. All guns should be registered. Gun dealers who work gun shows or out of their home need serious, extensive, and verifiable regulations.
The 2nd amendment does not give everyone the right to pack a machine gun.
You sir are a friggin moron!
So-called assault weapons are used in less than 1% of all crimes in which a gun was involved. I think it’s worth noting that the vast majority of these mass shooting are occurring in places where it is difficult if not impossible for the law-abiding citizen to carry a weapon for self-defense. The two mass shooting incidents with the lowest body counts in America both occurred in a place where a citizen with a concealed hand gun permit was on site and stopped the would-be killer before the police arrived on the scene
Portland Progressive Examiner:
You are correct, sort of. The 2nd Amendment doesn't "give" anybody the right to do anything.
It merely affirms and protects a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms.
"I hope the Democrats have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and the NRA. For too long these special interest groups have mislead the public and intimidated politicians.
"
Not true. The fact is in the nature of the relationship between the government and the governed: The Congress does not stand up to the NRA, the NRA stands up for you and me. It is not we who challenge the authority of officials, but Congress who challenges ours.
After all, who authorizes them: themselves??? We do, and we never gave up any of our own juice in the process. The government is not the Sovereign in this country, we are.
I think you've been horribly misled, Portland, and it is you who are misleading the public.
Thank you, Longenecker. Your words always ring true and are a sight for sore eyes.
If our friend from Portland would look into the funding and memberships of the various groups which fight for and against our rights, this person would learn that gun control organizations are funded and supported by a very few wealthy and thus elite social engineers (George Soros and the Joyce Foundation prominent among them), while gun rights groups are generally funded and supported by millions and millions of citizens who very much value their rights, responsibilities, and citizen authority.
Please, Portland Progressive, at least take the time to look around, consider what's going on here, and really look into the dynamics of these issues.
We the People.
Pelosi is so eager to lose the Democrat majority in Congress so quickly, wonder why? Why won't the Democrats drop this toxic issue pushed by the disarmament lobby and focus on the positive aspects of their platform (such as beefing up the First and Fourth Amendments)? Of course, Obama is supporting every program that Bush put into place regarding these subjects. Go figure.
I wouldn't complain about background checks, registration, and tracking of firearms if it hadn't already been used to effectively ban fully automatic rifles, which were almost never used in any crime since the 1930s NFA system till the registration list closure in 1986. Reopen the NFA list with a statement in stone we can posess fully automatic rifles and I'll entertain the notion of registration/tracking. Till then it's just one more step toward unconstitutional civil disarmament.

Special interest groups, like the Brady Campaign? Who don't peer review their studies?
Last time I checked, so called assault weapons that are legal in the US are not fully auto. Maybe you should research your facts a little more first, take the media with a grain of salt, before you try to get something banned you know little about.
"Progressive"? Kind of ironic someone with that title supports the exact opposite of progress with regards to guns, and this comes from a former anti.
Do people need "Assault weapons" or machine guns? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on circumstances.
Do the unscrupulous people who want a AWB actually need it? Undisputably NO.
When U compromise with something U already own, U ALWAYS Lose!!
David,
Since you were kind enough to pop over to my place and discuss "Tea Parties" with me there (and boost my page views) I thought I would stop by here and offer you the same professional courteousy. Not that you need it as you are consistently amongst the page view leaders at both the local and national level of Examiner.com
On the subject of "gun control" and potential weapons bans. I know you love to cherry pick the thoughts and statement of certain members of Congress or the Administration whenever they say anything remotely suggesting an assault on your guns. However, you know as well as I that it would take over 218 votes in the US House and at least 67 votes in the US Senate to pass any laws to take away your guns. Not going to happen. Not today, not tomorrow. Yet you just love to infame your readers with the threat that there is an underlying plot to do just that. I do understand that on one hand you are doing your part to increase gun sales but there really are some folks out there who believe it and might actually try to act on that with tragic results.
As for registration; I can find no interpretation of the 2nd amendment that says I can't demand to know which of my neighbors own a gun. The 2nd amendment does not state that owning a gun comes with an inherent right to secrecy when it comes to owning that gun and, if registration might be helpful to law enforcement when they are investigating a crime committed at gun point, then law abiding citizens should be happy to oblige.
Peace,

nancy pelosi wants us to register guns. its none of her business. facts are that millions of americans would have died at the hands of perps had they not had guns to protect their families. also its a constitutional guaranteed right. also its a privacy issue. pelosi a false prophet fake catholic believe in killing babies. killing babies via abortion has been established as a privacy issue. that is a woman can kill a baby and maintain her privacy for this attrocious act. a gun in a citizen hands is also a privacy issue. just like we don't care what you do in your bed room its none of your business about guns. pelosi a confiscation idiot. well pelosi needs to be excommunicated from the catholic church. both her and biden believe in killing babies. they have personally aided and abetted in killing more unborn babies then any gun in the history of the world has ever killed. also a gun killing a violent perp who is intent on inflicting harm is a good thing. pelosi was told by the pope that killing babies is not acceptable for a politician to expound to the public. yet pelosi came back from rome after screwing americans with the economic welfare bill that she wrote in her office with baracs support and after her return from rome lied about what the pope said. the last person that spit in the eye of christianity was peter jennings as he went to israel and tried to find atheist - within 6 months god took his protection off of him and he traveled to the underworld in quick fashion. GOD BLESS AMERICA and the US CONSTITUTION.
Chad Shue - I do not want my neighbors to know I have guns, unless and until I tell them. The federal government continues to try to regulate us to an exteme extent. I am a law abiding very safe gun owner with two daughters and I do not need for anyone in my neighborhood to know I own guns, it is quite simply none of their business and if people can find out I own guns because of registration that strips me of the protection of surprise. Respectfully disagree sir!
Dave,
Please allow me to apologize to you and your readers. I mistakenly said it was you who had commented over at my column when in fact it was David Codrea, the National Gun Rights Examiner. My points about gun control and registration, however, remain the same as both you and David seem to be preaching out of the same hymnal.
By the way Merry; while you may wish for your gun ownership to remain secret but I would maintain my argument that I and my children also have a right to be protected from you and your gun and there is no inherent right to secrecy within the 2nd Amendment.
Have you all discussed restriction on the sale of bullets yet???

Portland Progressive Examiner says:The 2nd amendment does not give everyone the right to pack a machine gun.- You are either stupid or can't read or both!!! Machine gun ownership is a very involved process and the Federal Government is involved every step of the way. It is illegal for anyone to have possession of a machine gun
that is not registered to them in the NFA (Class 3 Firearms) Registry. It is also
not possible for anyone, except government entities, to register an
existing machine gun that is not registered. The transfer of a machine gun involves paying a transfer tax, which is $200
for all the NFA weapons, except AOW's for which the tax is a
mere $5. Individuals also have to get one of several specified
local chief law enforcement officers to sign the form , submit their fingerprints in duplicate, and attach
photos of the transferee to the form.
We all need to concentrate first on having Pelosi excommunicated from the Catholic church for her sins against morality and brought up on charges for her failure to uphold the Constitution! Spread the Word!!!
I fill very sad that nobody wants to look at the real reason we have guns. Please search for George Washingtons remarkable vision I belive he was a true visionary. People thier is a large army that will march across our contry. Prople like Pelosi are players for the other side a large amount of the pressure for gun control has come from other countrys why do you think this is? The argument that it is between criminals and law abiding citicens is just a smoke screen why do you think that they have passed laws to be so soft on criminals and turn them out of prision so early? if the goverment really thought thier was a problem with criminals they would set up a system of first responders people that culd be on the seen first becus they wer in the area. Law abiding citicens have taken on the responsibility buy getting conceld wepon permits. I belive that George Washington seen our day he calls it the third peril when this happens we will need every military styal assalt wepon we can get along with every God fearing moral citicen of the US. This is my note to the law abiding gun owners of america thank you may God bless you. As for the people that wont to abolish the right to bear arms what are you going to do the day you realize you have been decived that might be the day the armys hit the shore.On our money is the inscription in God we trust please remember this as we will have to ask for devine intervention to save this county
Please note Chad Shoes comments - "By the way Merry; while you may wish for your gun ownership to remain secret but I would maintain my argument that I and my children also have a right to be protected from you and your gun and there is no inherent right to secrecy within the 2nd Amendment."
Chad's true colors are surfacing and it is evident that he colors all gun owners as individuals that need to be protected against!!! Put down the Communist Manifesto Chad and start reading the Federalist Papers. I doubt that you have children but if you do, read the U.S. Constitution to them. You might learn something.
Time to have that Revolution we've all wanted. let's get it over with.
John Doe - We need to keep up the good fight and expose the socialists like Chad Clueless on every opinion site we enter, spread the word about morally corrupt politicains like Pelosi, Bawney(bend over)Fwank, Chris Dodd, Harry Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, etc., and make it known to the companies that support Obama news organizations with their advertising dollars that we won't buy their products.
Chad Shue, it is a fact that worldwide more people have died of AIDS in the last 40 years than all the gunshots in history. Therefore it is my right to know if you have genitals, if you use them for sex, if you have recreational sex or purely procreational sex. It is my right to know with whom you have sex and where. I also have a right to know just how you wield these deadly devices, in other words just which sexual practices you engage in. It is further my right to have on file the description of your genitals and in a registration database open to the public.
Nowhere in the constitution are you guaranteed genital privacy, nor are you guaranteed the right to use genitals in a manner not licensed and approved of by your neighbors. It is our right to know.
Some would say the foregoing is extreme, but the fact is, genitals have proven more deadly to mankind than most anything else in the world, so based on your reasoning of your right to know who has guns,which are far safer devices than genitals, we certainly have the right to the information I hereby demand of you. You see, due to the greater danger to society of your genitals my demand is much more justifiable than yours, and it is in keeping with logic dynamic you are using.s
Actually, Jenny... an individual's right to privacy is EXACTLY what Roe vs. Wade is based upon. In order for RvW to maintain that abortion is legal, we must maintain that individual privacy is protected. Honest scholers admit that RvW is flawed, regardless of how they feel about abortion. However, you are dead wrong about your RIGHT to be protected against gun owners. Not all gun owners are a threat, and your right to know who owns a gun stops when people don't want you to know. Quite frankly, you also don't have a right to know who owns a knife, a baseball bat, or any other implement that could be used to harm another. Only CERTAIN threats rise above our right to freedom and independence... Child molesters can attest to the loss of their right to privacy, but then... they ALREADY committed a crime. Suggesting that YOU have a RIGHT to know what I have in my home is absurdly WRONG.
"By the way Merry; while you may wish for your gun ownership to remain secret but I would maintain my argument that I and my children also have a right to be protected from you and your gun and there is no inherent right to secrecy within the 2nd Amendment."
And we haven't even discussed syphillis, gonorrhea, or a host of other genital generated killers that have been with us for thousands of years. We have the right to know. I await your dispensing this information.
It does more than that, Dave... the whole purpose of the 2nd amendment is not just to affirm, but to make it painfully clear that gun ownership is a RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE that the government CANNOT take away. Once you give up #2, you can kiss all your rights goodbye, because you have no longer have any way to prevent the goverment from further abuses and tyrannical fascist rule.
"You are correct, sort of. The 2nd Amendment doesn't "give" anybody the right to do anything. It merely affirms and protects a pre-existing right to keep and bear arms. "
Chad
Since the 2A indeed, guarantees the right of the people to keep and bear arms, it would seem reasonable to assume that all of your neighbors have guns.
Sleep tight.
Chad Shue
By the way Merry; while you may wish for your gun ownership to remain secret but I would maintain my argument that I and my children also have a right to be protected from you and your gun and there is no inherent right to secrecy within the 2nd Amendment.
So if I own a gun and you know I own a gun how does that make you any safer? You're logic isn't adding up.
the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed!
What this means to me is this:
ANY laws or rules that may be implemented that would cause or have the purpose of causing the undermining of the 2nd amendment are in fact unconstitutional. Laws such as registration, one gun a month, micro-stamping, unjust taxation, any type of ban, and so on and so forth.
If the gun control crowd can not get the 2nd amendment repealed they will do whatever they can to neuter it and make it a totally moot amendment.
Groups like the NRA are true patriots and deserve our unconditional support.
If you LOVE liberty than LIVE it. I strongly urge everyone to take their STIMULUS REBATE (about $60.00 per month) and send it to the NRA! not only would this money go to a great cause, but it's also quite ironic that in this way the left can support the right!
W. Squire - I agree with you. I included Chad Schue's comment in my post and you mistook his comment as being mine.
I don't think that the latest gun shootings have anything to do with guns Its more that timees are tuff and people are desperate.They have lost their jobs ,401k, house and who knows what else. Things are only going to get worse until they start bringing jobs back to the U.S.A. and stop illegal imigration. It dosen't matter what laws they try and pass because they can't enforce the ones they have now. If they could inforce the laws they have now we wouldn't have the problems that we have now
Try this - Contact the Heritage Foundation and obtain pocket size copies of the Constitution and read it to your children. Contact their educators and give them copies.

NEED TO STEPUP TO THE PLATE
LET'S STOP THIS BULLS@$#
The Clinton gun ban made it through congress before the current one party government in power. Registration is ALWAYS the necessary first step before confication. Remember that the 47.7 percent of people who did not vote for Obama do NOT trust him.
I think it is time for a debate about Jewish involvement in the destruction of constitution and gun rights as well at www.stormfront.org
Do you know what type of people support this garbage Nancy Pelosi wants? NAMBLA Members!!!
The time for the tree of liberty to be watered is here.
God Bless and Molon Labe!
How about this: a class-action lawsuit by the people against Pelosi, Schumer, etc, for attempting to deny folks their civil rights (registration would change the right to own a firearm from an uninfringeable right to a government-granted privilege, which would be give those in power the right to deny anyone at will). These people should be named as individuals in the suit, not allowing them to hide behind their official title. Any award should come from their personal wealth, not taxpayer dollars (sorry, no bailout for you, Nancy, Chuck, etc.). In addition, punitive action should include removal from office as well. Time for the radical agenda of anti-americans to be stopped!!! Any great attorneys willing to go for the gold??
I'm confuiesd. I thaught I lived in the United States Of America Where we could cross state borders without harrisment or papers. So what She is saying Is I can't hunt in other States and spend a lot of money on a hunt of a life time. But the hunting land in her state is beeing closed at a veary rapid rate. So now gun owners will be limited to their state Where you can only kill an anamal with a car. Do any polititions THINK be for they speek?
For more info on how I frrl about this subject look on Elks685.com
We face anti gun cultural elitists who are cunning, deceptive and focused. They relabeled gun restrictions and outright prohibitions as "gun control" laws in the 60s, and more recently,under the Clinton adninistration "gun safety" laws (just as killing unborne babies became "choice" and "privacy"). The mainline media are their toys. They tend to view law abiding, religious middle America with contempt and condesention and have convinced themselves that they need to be in power in order to protect us from ourselves. They use racial,cultural and economic divisivness as a means to lock in voting blocks.
Given what we're dealing with, my thought is to buy em now, and big or for ever don't hold your piece.

For yall who say that it can never happen here and that our Constitution can protect us. Look at England, they had an 8th Amendment for Protestants to keep and bear arms in the English Bill of Rights, look at them now. Take also take 1 week after Hurricane Katrina, when Mayor Nagin had firearms seized from citizens. Then about 1/2 a year later when people went back and wanted their arms returned, Nagin has from then up to today refused to give them back, he's defied court orders to return them. Even if he did, they're so rusted as hell, they wouldn't be able to fire if he did, yeah it can never happen huh? That should show you what these Commie, Socialist true intentions are, they take advantage of chaos to do their true agenda, wake up before it's too late. Semper Fi,

WP1488, take your Nazi bullshit and go away.
This isn't about skin color, race, religion or sexual preference. It's about respecting civil rights -- something you Nazis don't do.
This Jew has a gun. The vast majority of the leadership of the most pro-gun organization in my state is Jewish. Some of my favorite students were Iraqi-American Muslims.

1986 firearm owners protections act
"( Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 926 (2) (a)) being: No such rule or regulation prescribed after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation."
There are those here that have posted that,"A revolution is in order." But the major stumbling block to making this happen...No one will show up.
Last time a I checked in order for a revolution to have any chance of success is that the citizens have to be deeply committed and be willing to make large sacrifices.
The problem is the United States is, there is a large population (Parasite Class) that is rapidly becoming the majority that like things just the way they are.
The parasite class is perfectly happy suckling on the government teat, and letting the government take care of every little whim and care.
So this is why a revolution wouldn't be feasible at this point because there isn't enough committed Americans to make it happen.
straightarrow. You know maybe we should register our bodies, because they are deadly too! lol I mean STOP this bull already. Like the criminals are going to register?!
"Gun Control" people generally fall into
two categories: 1) Statists/Globalists who
intend to disarm citizens and dismantle
our Constitutional Republic, and 2) the
"useful idiots" who don't know any better
than to support them. There are a number
of things Patriots can do now but the 1st
is to understand, we cannot enlighten the
committed Globalists. Obama, Pelosi and
the other bull goose Statist politicians
have no intention or desire to strengthen
our faltering Republic. In fact so doing
would be totally opposite their goal for a
"New World Order", a Global government to
control us all. Please don't imagine these
people to be stupid; they are simply Evil.
We cannot combat Evil unless we recognize
it for what it is; we can't entertain the
delusion they are just misguided or just
historically ignorant, and expect victory
over Evil. And in politics, Evil observes
no party lines. G.W. Bush should remind us
there are Statist, Globalist Republicans
as well as Democrats.
It might be possible to enlighten a small
number of the "useful idiots", but it will
be difficult. Many of them are dependent
on government programs for their survival,
so they tend to support politicians who
promise more "redistribution of wealth".
Never mind that there is no wealth left
for groceries tomorrow; the poor, hungry
folk just want to eat today. Their support
can usually be bought with food today and
empty promises of a better tomorrow. But
many of them can be enlightened, can be
led to understand the house of cards now
sustaining them is about to collapse. It
is to these people we must appeal, and not
as Republicans or Democrats but as fellow
Citizens of One Nation, Under God.
Want to see something that EVERYONE of us should see and pass on?? Look at this...it explains it all: //conspiracyrealitytv.com/the-Obama-deception/
Speaker Pelosi recently said she believes we have all the gun laws we need, they just need to be enforced. Now this? Obviously the woman is a political weathervane. Before she hands her job and her party's control of the house back to the GOP she should have a chat with Al Gore. Remember him? Before he was Mr. Global Warming, he was vice-president of the United States and widely regarded as next in line for the top job. Thats before he lost his home state and the whole election to George Bush due to his call for registering handguns. Don't think that's what did it? Ask Bill Clinton.
The police officers that were murdered in both LA and Pittburg were killed by people that were already breaking the law by possesing a firearm. In LA it was a convicted felon and in Pittsburg a man dishonorably discharged from military service (see BATF form 4473) - both were prohibited from owning a firearm. If they want to keep Chinese made AK47s out of Mexico I have a suggestion - CONTROL THE NATION'S BORDERS LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO!!!!!
Ever wonder why our Founding Fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment? Go to google and type:
-Founding Fathers Quotes on 2nd Amendment and Militia.
-Federalist 29,46.
For all of you who say it can't happen to us cause it's in our Constitution, look at what happened to British citizens who had their 8th Amendment to their English Bill of Rights. Yeah that sure prevented their Government from taking them didn't it? Look at what happened in New Orleans a week after Hurricane Katrina hit. Mayor Nagin carried out having peoples firearms taken from them. After 1/2 to a year later when people returned to get them back, that guy and his cronies in power from that time till today still refuse to give the people their firearms back. The courts have continually told them to return them, but they still refuse to, they think that they're above the law, they don't care what the law or courts say. Even if they gave the firearms back, they're so rusted that they wouldn't be able to shoot again. I'm surprised that the people all around didn't make him pay them back for the property they took from them and ruined, times 2 of the same amount for all the trouble these Commie, Socialist's did to all the regular law abiding people. Then they should of had them leave their office of power since they're well versed in Communism rather than our Constitution. That should teach you that people take advantage of disasters to get their true mission done, then they refuse to embrace the process. Also remember someone once said, "This year will go down, for the first time in history, a civilized people has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow us into a brighter future."
-Adolf Hitler (German Weapons Act of
1935)
