Hey, Nancy. How about the estimated 200,000,000 disarmed dead, murdered by socialism/communism? You moron.

Pelosi pledges compromise on assault weapons ban @ 10:29 am by Michael O'Brien
The ball is in Congress's court to craft a compromise in reinstating regulations on assault weapons, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) acknowledged Tuesday.
During an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," Pelosi said that the Congress will work to find some middle ground between the previous ban, which expired in 2004, and the precedent laid by the Supreme Court in a ruling enumerating more concrete gunowners' rights last term.
"We have to find some level of compromise," Pelosi said, citing 53 victims of gun violence nationwide in less than a month. "And we have to rid the debate of the misconceptions people have about what gun safety means."
"Yes, it is," the Speaker said when asked if the ball is in Congress's court now that Democrats control the White House. "And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution."
Pelosi indicated that new regulations might entail registration and prohibitions on transporting some firearms across state lines.
The Speaker also expressed displeasure at the attachment of a gun rights provision to legislation that would grant Washington, D.C. a voting member of Congress.
"Right now, we have the debate in Congress over the District of Columbia wanting a vote on the floor of the House, something we all want. That's a civil rights issue," she said, pledging to find "middle ground" on the issue. "And, yet, they want to put a gun…bill, attach that to that. I don't — I don't think that that should be the price to pay to have a vote on the floor of the House."
look for the RINOs to meet her halfway.
No Freaking Compromise !
Here’s a response .... “and the horse you rode in on”.
When (if) that is signed, it will signal opening day of hunting season.
If nobody responds to whatever unconstitutional law they ‘pass’, there ain’t a damn thing they can do about it. They can say and do whatever they want, but once they start coming for the guns, the war begins, in earnest.
Compromise from Pelosi means you compromise everything, she compromises nothing.
Gee, I didn’t know this was an election issue? It was so effective the first time. Why not demand proof?

One left ...
That's the plan. Get with it.
Keep your powder dry folks.
Hey, Nancy. How about the estimated 200,000,000 disarmed dead, murdered by socialism/communism? You moron.
Agreed. Gun sales since the selection of The Zero have been thru the roof. My response (and like many, many others) to Herr Pelosi:
"Molon labe."
We have to compromise the 2nd amendment of the Constitution?
Obama will have EVERYONE mad at him, very soon.
Prolifers
Gun owners
Taxpayers
Military families.
Military construction workers
Energy industry workers
Financial industry workers
Charities
Charitable contributors.
How many people can he piss off and still hold on to power?
"Compromise?"
How about we make sure no law violates the 2nd Amendment? That seems "reasonable" to me.
"Misconceptions"?
Nancy ... just about everything you think you know is wrong. Cure your misconceptions first. Then we can talk.
Oh, he!! yeah!
Since the pile of Pelosi masquerading as a sentient human seems incapable of comprehending words alone, perhaps this image will aid her understanding.
NAAAAAHHHHHH....
"And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution."
The ONLY compromise I will go for is the repeal of that travesty THE 1968 GUN CONTROL LAW!
America before that was a different place!
Remember these words?
“Today we make America safe by taking guns out of the hands of criminals.”-—Lyndon B Johnson, when he signed the 1968 gun control act into law.
Hey, give the pile of Pelosi a break.
She simply wants to add America’s 75 million or so gun owners to the pile of disarmed dead.
Hey, Pelosi, after the smoke clears, let us know how that all worked out for you and the rest of the RICO mob there in Malfunction Junction.
Please, no self respecting horse would associate with such a waste of oxygen as the current speaker of the house of reprehensibles. It can pass whatever laws it can manage to get the votes for but enforcing it will be another matter entirely. My line in the sand has been crossed and I will no longer be silent, passive nor obedient.
“Misconceptions?” She’s a misconception! As such, she should have been aborted instead of born and I’m not in favor of abortion... normally. In her case though...
Well, this will certainly stop the run on guns and ammunition /s
Of which, how many were victimized by so-called assault weapons? In how many incidents?
Ms. Pelosi, we're on to you. You do not want us to have the ability to fight back on equal terms with your overlord's thugs-in-training at ACORN.
That means that the resistance will have to relieve your minions of their arms through appropriate means, probably at the cost of the thugs lives.
But the tree of liberty must be fed and watered from time to time.
To me, they, and their unconstitutional laws do not exist, period. Legally bought, forcefully kept.
I guess I better hurry up and buy my Beretta 92FS and round up some pre-ban hicaps while I still can (I live in MA, where Clinton’s AWB never went away).
I think they know it, too. That’s why, unlike the rapid pace being used to implement the rest of their commie agenda, they are proceeding a little slower here. But they’ll make the attempt, no doubt about it. The response has to be fierce. The left is an absolute paper lion, there is nothing behind that curtain. We could end all this in a very short while, whenever we decide it’s time.
Nancy, “compromise” means each side gives in a little. It does not mean you steal fewer of my rights than you had hoped to.
Here’s a real compromise:
We set up a sensible qualification and training process with a full background check. That earns qualified folks an ID card. Those folks may then buy any gun of any type in any quantity they want, with no record kept of who bought what guns. (We might require a training endorsement for machine guns). Just like my ID lets me buy liquor without the government keeping a record of it.
That way, your paranoid delusions about people running amok and killing innocents would be addressed, as would my paranoid delusions that you’re simply out to create a database to enable confiscation, and subsequent genocide.
Now, lots of my gun nut friends are going to scream bloody murder at my notion that a fundamental right should be qualified by this kind of process (we don’t require you to have a college degree to write op-ed columns, after all). But if you can persuade your anti-gun friends to give up on the means for confiscation, I think I can get my friends to agree.
Of course, when you and your anti-gun friends refuse even to consider this compromise for sensible public safety rules that meet all your goals, it will leave us wondering what you really have in mind for us. Why do you want to disarm law-abiding Americans? What do you have in mind for us?

55 people killed? What about the 55,000 people killed in car accidents ... if she wants to save lives, why doesn’t she ban the stupid cars? Makes sense to me.
Bang!
Apparently everyone with a job that pays taxes. 52% of the country voted for him, I figure thats everyone who lives on a government check. The 48% that have a job and produce are screwed....red
53 victims of gun violence in a month? That’s only 636 per a whole year. How many people are killed in car wrecks? Furthermore, how many of the murderers had long criminal records or were known to be insane?
If 2010 doesn’t address the problem, things might get ugly.
Here is a compromise offer:
The citizenry of the US will accept controls on nuclear weapons here and abroad, to be enforced by the government, if the government reduces its stockpile of bureaucrats by 10%.
Although it is a great sacrifice for citizens to compromise away a part of its fundamental human rights, it seems practical provided the government shows continuing responsibility with its end of the bargain. Regular review of the government will be ongoing.
There, that is my compromise.
The Second Amendment IS a civil rights issue.
Clearly she has ideas and actions CONTRARY to her oath of office.
Evidently she doesn't see the keeping and bearing of arms as a civil right. Myself, I think it's the most important of all of them. An armed man is in a position to demand and seize all his other rights; an unarmed man has only those privileges his masters grant him.

We have fought for years, even decades, to gain back a tiny portion of our right to self-defense. Any attempt to scrape away that thin veneer of freedom we have attained will be rejected unambiguously. The mere mention of wanting to take away our rights again is evil in great degree.
Here is a compromise. We, the citizens, will allow you to manage nuclear weaponry here and abroad IF and only if you require evidence of competency to vote in federal elections. We the citizens will determine the standards for attaining competency and those standards include knowledge of the system of government and being a taxpayer.
So much for gun control being off the table eh Pelosi....
Come and take them
Pelosi said, citing 53 victims of gun violence nationwide in less than a month.
Um, but madam speaker, cars killed more than twice the number of people than that in a single day!
