Pelosi: 'We Want Registration'; Holder: 2A Won't 'Stand in the Way'; SAF: 'Gloves Are Off'

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on April 7 acknowledged that gun registration is on her agenda, days after Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters in Mexico that the Second Amendment would not “stand in the way” of administration plans to crack down on alleged gun trafficking to Mexico.

“These are alarming remarks from Speaker Pelosi and Attorney General Holder,” said Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb. “It appears that the Obama administration and Capitol Hill anti-gunners have dropped all pretences about their plans for gun owners’ rights, and it looks like the gloves are coming off.”

Pelosi’s revelation came during an interview on ABC’s Good Morning, America. While insisting that Congress “never denied” the gun rights of American Citizens, Pelosi told Roberts, “We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines…” Gottlieb noted that citizens’ rights do not stop at state lines.

“But that doesn’t really matter,” he observed. “History has shown that around the world, registration has always led to confiscation.”

In Mexico, according to the Wall Street Journal, Holder was asked if the administration might encounter constitutional issues as it tries to crack down on alleged gun trafficking. His response: “I don’t think our Second Amendment will stand in the way of efforts we have begun and will expand upon.”

“These comments belie administration promises and Democrat rhetoric that party leaders respect the rights of law-abiding Americans to own the firearm of their choice,” Gottlieb said. “They imposed registration of semi-autos in Pelosi’s California and it led to a ban, but it certainly didn’t disarm criminals, like the convicted felon who killed four Oakland police officers last month. We know from Holder that the Obama administration wants to renew the nationwide ban on such firearms, but that won’t prevent crime, either.

“The administration and Congressional anti-gunners have declared war on gun rights,” Gottlieb said. “The press seems deliberately blind to the statements from Pelosi and Holder, who blame our gun rights for their incompetence in dealing with crime. More than 90 million gun owners haven’t hurt anybody, and they are tired of being treated like criminals.”

The Second Amendment Foundation (www.saf.org) is the nation’s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 600,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.

When in the world are the people of this great nation going to stand up and say, we have had it with these elected officials, THEY WORK FOR US. We do not answer to them.

I don't know about you people, but I not sitting on my A$$ waiting to see what else they are going to come up with, I am hitting the streets with my message I am sick of this nonsense and I want my country back. Get of your back sides people and stand up and do something.

It is in our constitution that we have the right to bear arms, and defend ourselves agents anyone intending to harm us including our Government. We elected them, it is time we got rid of them.
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

They already came out and said that somewhere around 6,000 guns that had been confiscated in Mexico, had origins in the U.S. Here's were the flip flop of numbers come in. They claim that they had checked 29,000 guns. So almost 1/5 of the guns checked had come from the U.S.
What they don't tell you, is they actually confiscated over 100,000 guns. And, since only 29,000 had any English stamping/writing on the gun itself, those were the only ones checked. The rest were of Russian,Chinese, South American origins. And a great number of them, came from the Mexican military. But, of course, you won't here that from Pelosi,Biden, Schumer and the rest.  gypsyman

A lot of guns came from the US because we sold them to the Mexican military.  How the guns get from the Mexican military to drug lords is the issue.  Also it isn't our problem.

That was my point, Sorry I did not make myself clear. The guns in Mexico ain't an American Problem. That being said, It does not matter to the leftist, You cant confuse them with Facts! They are gonna make your guns illegal, then when you fight, They will say " WE tried to tell you they were dangerous" It will become a self fulfilling prophecy!

The only thing we can do is unite behind NRA, and fight it out in the system.........................FIRST!
