Pelosi on Gun Control: ‘We’re just not taking no for an answer’
The PJ Tatler ^ | April 18, 2013 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 04/18/2013 11:59:51 AM PDT by Kaslin

During her Thursday press conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Wednesday’s sweeping gun control defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate is a setback, but not the end, of Democrats’ gun control efforts. During Senate action Wednesday, nine gun control measures came up for votes, and all nine were defeated. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “assault” weapons ban went down in flames, with 15 Democrats voting with Republicans to kill it. It fell in a lopsided 60-40 vote.

Going O for 9 is but a fleshwound, says Pelosi:

“The process on where to go from here is we will be collecting any bipartisan sign up as co-sponsors of the bill, which is already bipartisan… What we want also is a vote [in the House],” Pelosi said. The American people can say to the leadership in Congress to Speaker Boehner, ‘Give us a vote.’ As you can see, we’re just not taking no for an answer.”

She means it. Pelosi is a very determined ideologue. The last time Democrats refused to take no as an answer, they passed ObamaCare against the wishes of the majority of Americans. That law is wreaking havoc on the US economy and healthcare system, and it isn’t even fully implemented yet.

Just keep beating this dead horse till 2014. I keep hoping Louisiana, Arkansas, Montana, and others will be reminded why it’s dangerous to vote Dem. With a 7% unemployment rate, ObamaCare still the law, and gun control still on the Demwit’s mind, maybe they will give someone a chance.

They’ll give you a rope, Nan. Or they’ll die.

You’ll see the war you’re pining for.

It’s absolutely disgusting that she will so cavalierly trash the US Constitution, yet blithely step up, put her hand on The Bible and swear to uphold it.

Her values are in the crapper, hopefully being flushed, where I wouldn’t expect she’d wash her hands either.

...”Being a liberal never means having to recognize, or apologize for, your blatant hypocrisy”...

You cannot speak logic and reason to ideologues. They would rather destroy their nation than to compromise when they are wrong. Fat chance they are going to disarm law abiding citizens after what just happened in Boston. Looks like the DHS needs to do a better job of protecting people rather than to try to make them more vulnerable by taking away their means to protect themselves. And, by the way, can someone tell me when the left changed the name of an automatic rifle to an assault rifle, no doubt for political purposes.

If you think that she cares about the constitution, than you are greatly mistaken

Because they can’t stand being corrected. They’d call them “machine guns” but they know they aren’t fully automatic and every guest that’s not a liberal would always embarrass them by correcting them, and they can’t stand looking like they made a simple mistake.

But “semiautomatic” doesn’t have a lot of “jazz” to it and it’s not a scary, loaded term. so they frame the argument by language and calling it an “assault” weapon.

Those who won’t take ‘no’ for answer when it comes to trampling on our natural right to own own lives and property will end up taking something else instead.

On the smallish, high-velocity side.

When gov’t officials make statements like,’that doesn’t
deserve an answer(big sis),to a congressman, kerry blowing
off the Benghazi attack by saying ‘we have more important
things to do’ and Nan after a vote in the democratic process
doesn’t go her way, say, ‘we won’t take no for an answer,
an aware American should realize that we are as close to
tyranny as this country has been since its beginning.

It also means we’re right to defend the 2nd Amendment for
its most important reason, as the last refuge against a
tryannical government.

Nancy needs a laugh track. In fact, a half hour of her speaking with laughter punched in every time she finishes a sentence would be rather good entertainment.

I think there will be an even worse massacre than Newtown in the near future.

unfortunately Nancy is an RG—real girl. An old one but a real one—thank God she can’t have any more kids. Wonder if they are as wacky as mom?
