Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D- Calif., said the GOP leadership should put a bill on the floor by Friday that would limit the size of gun magazines to 10 rounds.

OK. As long as it only applies to firearms carried by federal agents.

Unfortunately, the women GOP lawmakers are more likely to let their “protective” instincts overrule common sense and go with the Demonicrats on this. I have one such legislator.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Let them. It’s a loser issue for them. Just keep your eye on the RINOs and be ready to call them out.

I see in that bill that they want to limit magazines to 10 rounds. Do they realize that many of the dead and wounded at the Giffords shooting were done within the first 10 rounds.

If someone opens up using a firearm with a 10 round mag how soon will these same snakes begin to demand a six round magazine.

The Speaker won't do that, but he could say he would be willing to discuss it as soon as the Senate passes a budget.

If you look at all the "gun free" zones elementary schools are the most vulnerable thanks to the Gun Free School Zone Act. That law prohibits even off duty law enforcement from bringing their gun into a school regardless of agency policy.

If Pubbies vote to support a bill to have an Assault Weapons Ban or magazine limit they will have slit their throat for future elections. Millions of INNOCENT gun owners will vote third party instead of for those lemmings.

My suspicion is that the Dems don’t really want a vote. They are pressing the issue to force the Republicans to act against it.

I think gun control is still a losing issue and may come back to bite liberals big time.

The pubs ought to offer a bill that any state wishing to preserve the Second Amendment is free and clear to leave the union immediately after the vote.

Nancy should show solidarity with the gun grabbers and order her security personnel to turn in all of their weapons.

Sure, gotta do it while the little caskets are still being shown on the television, with sobbing parents in the background, and the blood is still fresh on the ground.

The Dems will exploit the death of these innocents as much as they can...

...while in the same breath applauding and defending the millions of deaths of innocents killed in the womb, before they even have a chance to draw breath.

Their hypocrisy is disgusting and astounding.

F***ing Ghouls, that’s all they are.

Hope the Rs have enough balls to resist it.

1. What they are looking to ban are standard capacity magazines.

2. The article mentions “assault magazines”. I guess they’ve got a new term we can give in to and start using.

You don’t make laws based on pure emotion. It wouldn’t be bad to discuss parental responsibilities, background checks,
mental illness and its treatment, school security improvement, but the gun itself is only a political football. Guns don’t kill other humans...people do, with or without guns.

Republicans leaders have not publicly responded to Pelosi's demand.

Sometimes no response says more than anything they could possibly state verbally...(Translation: we're not even going to dignify that with a response). Which I hope is the tactic they use for all Obama's gun control push, don't respond, just ignore, schedule no debate, schedule no votes, and go about business as usual.
