House Democrats on Wednesday pressured Republicans to hold a vote now on a bill that would ban high capacity gun clips like the one used in the deadly Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
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.
Republicans leaders have not publicly responded to Pelosi's demand.
Flanked by a crowd of Democratic lawmakers, Pelosi made the statement at a news conference announcing a special House Democratic task force aimed at examining gun violence. Pelosi said she has tapped Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., who is a gun owner and a hunter, to lead the panel.
Democrats are trying to seize momentum necessary to pass the most aggressive gun control measure since the 1994 legislation that banned a wide range of assault weapons.

What they are doing has nothing to do with logic.
Plus, imagine if they passed a law and all street crime and nutjob shootings disappeared. How then would they force their agenda on us?
Remember, they thought they’d stop crime by taking flash hiders off of target rifles. At least that’s what they said.
I stand right next to you, brother.
“Stick it up your smelly Obama” Quote of the day! bravo!
Since when? (Just kidding)
Pelosi trying to make the Republicans look as though Sandy Hook didn’t matter to them, as well if they succeed in getting the R’s to capitulate it’s a win-win for the Democrats. Just another dirty trick as it’s the Democrats that are jumping for joy at this “crisis”, this opportunity to force legislation that benefits their goals of disarming Americans, and eliminating the Second Amendment.
Those kids that died!? Oh THEM! Uh, Well...uh.... we’re doing this for the children.
RIGHT! /s
This sort of obviousness by the Democrats is proof positive part of their mental void is in the disruption, and rerouting of their thought processes around that point in the brain where normally a conscience would have existed.
THEY have no conscience.
it started back in 08.. it’s just a cold war at the moment.
but I am afraid its starting to warm up.
he should but he won’t. he’ll start with clips larger than 30 rounds then fight with himself down to 7 rounds. Obama and the democrats will turn up their nose at the offer and demand 5 or less or even a out right ban on a fire arm that uses a clip.
Pelosi: “Assault Magazines” Have To Be Outlawed

10 rounds per magazine? That’s not a lot different than the standard magazine used by the m-16.
Just have more magazines in your pocket.
I have a Lady Smith revolver........with speed loaders I can shoot all day. They will prolly come after them next.
Of course, that shouldn't be Plan A.
the legislation in such matters is already drafted, it may need to be fine tuned this or that month but it sits in a drawer waited to be played.
it is NOT about dead innocents. It is about seizing power.
I think it’s time for the formation of a new party. The Republican Party, as it is constituted at present, is just not a useful instrument for promoting the values and interests of much of the American public. Perhaps such a party could absorb much of the existing Republican Party, if Republicans saw fit to join. But I see as a reality the fact that a lot of Americans with various interests are unhappy with the direction in which the country is going. But the supposedly pragmatic Republicans are diluting the message to the point where they are not longer representing those people.
I don’t think violence is the way to go. Apart from the morality of it, I also think that it won’t work.
Didn’t we have these very same laws the Democrats are proposing at the time of the Columbine shootings? I don’t recall anyone shooting up schools when I was in elementary or high school. We have worse problems in this society than the existence of guns, but people take the easy way out and think they are doing something constructive by advocating gun control.
I would be the first to think that any legislation that is good enough for us should also apply to all law enforcement including feds, state, and local.
Obviously the military should be exempt but there is no logical reason to think that law enforcement is somehow more worthy of the ability for self defense than the people of this nation.
Im talking about agriculture, poultry, and farming! ;)
