BELLEVUE, Wash., April 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- 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.
There is no federal governmental interest in this other than to disarm the citizenry. The Second Amendment was intended to preempt this very form of usurpation, that the feds should never be allowed to get on their high horses and Lord it over the citizenry! If we acquiesce to this BS, we will surely be oppressed by what is supposed to be government of, by and for the people.
With Dhim-types, however, it clearly is not government of, by and for the people, but rather, of, by and for them!

I’m afraid April 2010 is going to be too late
But, they don’t NEED jails. They plan to use gas chambers.
And last week in Binghamton, NY, the cops did not even RNTER the building till the shooter killed himself. Some HEROES they!

From the FreedomsFirst website:
We are moving forward on our rally in Washington D C.
We are working non stop in preparations for this historical event to be held Sept 12-13 2009 at the Lincoln Memorial Reflections pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
As for the time, The million man march that took place a few years age took over 2 years to organize, we are trying to push this through as fast as we can.
To protest in DC you have to have a permit and have approval to use a certain piece of land.
We called ahead of filing for these things. September 12 &13 were the next available days they had.
The other organization, resistnet.com, which was putting together a march for May 30, didnt do this so they were refused their permit. Now they are joining with our group. So, we are doing this absolutely as soon we can.
To have a successful march takes time and organization.
Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obamas ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE DEMAND THAT YOU BE TRANSPARENT NOW
We will come together in a peaceful rally.
We are proud Americans who fear that we are losing the America we all know and love.
The America where millions have served in our military sacrificing their lives so that we remain free.
A people who honor their flag and understand what it means to fly it and are so proud to do so.
It is time for our voices to be heard loud and clear. Our government is for the people and by the people.
We are Americans who see our rights slipping away as we speak.
It is time our voices are heard.
It is time for us to shout loudly and strongly that we refuse to live under a socialist regime, where our voices are silenced.
Lets take this action now before we awaken one morning and our freedoms are nothing more than a memory.
WE WILL BE UNITED- CHRISTIAN, JEW, BUDDHIST, HINDU, ATHEIST, BLACK AND WHITE.
WE WILL BE ONE- ONE OF MANY WHO STAND AS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DEMANDING OUR VOICES BE HEARD.

Well it looks like we are going to see a war in the US. I never thought I would see it but it’s going to happen. I hope everyone has their list of things to stock up on. Americans will not be disarmed. There will be war.
I’m not registering sh** either. Moat will refuse. Get ready, it won’t be pretty. I think they want to start it. They should be careful what they wish for.
How would they enforce it if no one complied with the requirement? There are no jails big enough to hold every gun owner in the country.
_____________
They couldn’t and wouldn’t. They are hoping that they can get as many as possible to be good little girls and boys and do what they want. At least decrease the amount they have to later take by force. Keep a couple cheap guns, hide the rest. Hide your ammo stash. Hide it off your property. Don’t risk them getting your good stuff. Unarmed citizens are helpless over tyranny.
What a shame you lost them all. We lost all of our good ones when the canoe turned over. We have a couple of cheap ones left, so they can have those if it comes to surrendering them or jail. We have one box of ammo for each, 20 rounds, they can have those too.
Bill Clinton said the one thing he regretted was the assault weapon ban. It cost his the house and the Senate. I don’t think the Marxists in there now give a sh*t. They have got to get the guns to complete the coup. They figure with the census, illegals and ACORN they will make sure that doesn’t happen to them in 2010 or 2012.
My earnest prayer is that wealthy patriots everywhere are buying and stockpiling guns and ammo in quantities that would cause Nancy Pelosi to buy Depends by the truck load.
_______________
Oh they are! Since last fall. Go online and try to get ammo. SOLD OUT SOLD OUT SOLD OUT, same with guns.
seething wrath that is growing against the government.
_______________
You better believe it. Everywhere you go people are FURIOUS! and fearful. Fear and anger, dangerous combination. Like a ticking time .............
How many grabbers are willing to die for confiscation?
_____________
I don’t intend to die, but they won’t get them. No way in hell.
“I don’t think our Second Amendment will stand in the way of efforts we have begun and will expand upon.”

It won’t stand in our way either.
Tueller drill much?
