It's too early to celebrate

Pelosi: Assault weapons ban will not pass Congress

But it does feel good seeing this Liberal outlet and its trumpet admitting defeat.

There's still a lot to do on the State level.

This is what we're facing in California :rolleyes:

I'm most concerned about SB 374, 53, and 293. With too many democrats in office here and a future that's leaning in their direction, it's high time to cross the Colorado river and move to Arizona. I've actually been thinking about it for a long time. I grew up in California but in the past few decades it has changed all for the worse.

It's sad that there are only a few states left where you aren't sucked dry (not the good kind) and the Constitution still applies.

I left ca when after getting a permit to carry there I'd get frisked every time I got pulled over, jackasses

The Congress doesn't have to.

The states are doing their dirty work on the 2nd Amendment for them.

Still pushing our letter every chance I get....

A not too bad piece by Lott here on a segment of the disarmed electorate.

Couple excerpts:

Quote:

Can poor people be trusted with guns? Overwhelmingly, Republicans thinks so. But while Democrats fight against taxes on the poor and oppose voter photo IDs because they impose too much of burden, they seem to be doing everything possible – from fees, expensive training requirements, and photo IDs -- to make it next to impossible for the poor to own guns.
....
But Democrats seem to think that waiting for police to arrive from a 911 call is good enough for the poor.

Next week Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) will introduce legislation that will ban the production of inexpensive guns in the United States. While it is true that some criminals use these guns, these smaller, lighter handguns are also ideal for self-defense. And of course they are particularly helpful for poor would-be victims who can't afford more expensive guns.

Just a few weeks ago, the Obama administration made the extremely unusual move of lobbying state House members in Colorado for a bill that would charge people a fee when they purchase a gun. Democrats voted down Republican amendments that would have exempted poor people from paying the fee and capped the fee at a maximum of $25.

Disarmed electorate as a social priority. And when the checks stop comin'...
:rolleyes:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the assault weapons ban passing Congress is unlikely in an interview with the Denver Post Monday. Pelosi focused on another attainable goal—passing legislation requiring all gun buyers to get a background check.

"Pelosi: Assault weapons ban will not pass Congress"

Google translate says:

Pelosi: All those anti-American Republicans will vote down party lines therefore we need to get rid of their ignorant asses ASAP so we can march towards Shang-ri-la uninhibited.

I don't think with the Republican House that much on gun, magazine or ammunition bans will pass either.

States have are passing more restrictive measures. Maryland is one also
with SB 281.

Also this week in March 18-27 is the UN Arms Trade Treaty talks/conference.

Arizona is looking nicer every day
