Pelosi: Gun restrictions needed to 'protect and defend' Americans
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/08/15 | Pete Kasperowicz

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday called on the House to take up legislation to ban guns from terrorist suspects, and said Congress needs to take this step to fulfill its duty to protect all Americans from violence.

"We cannot remain silent," the California Democrat said at a hearing of the Democrats' Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. "For us to honor the responsibilities that we have to protect and defend the American people, we must not only have moments of silence, we must have days of action."

"To start, we can and must bring up the bipartisan Deny Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act, to close the loopholes that allow suspects to purchase guns, which Republicans have blocked from debate three times," she added.

Who gets to define “terrorists”? The murdering commie bastards down at the DNC? You know what you can do with your Nazi Gun Confiscation bill.

She lives on a $30 million Napa vineyard with Tennis courts, Bocci ball court, and helicopter landing pad --they employ ZERO union people, though she is a political creature created by Unions.

Let's have a bird's eye of her Napa place:

She once diverted her HUGE gummint transport THOUSANDS of miles in order to pick up ONE order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

She's the biggest shareholder in Auberge de Soleil, one of the top Best & Breakfasts in the USA, where a burger and fries is $22.

Let's take a look:

Oh! Yeah, they ALSO employ ZERO union people.

She once described ABORTION as "hallowed ground to me".

She's Catholic.

Nancy is swearing in Representative Keith Ellison, for Minnesota's 5th congressional district. How fitting they're using a Quran which permits lying to deceive and bring world domination by Islam!

How stupid is that?

Ellison should be required, in a very public setting, to retake the oath of office on the Holy Bible, which doesn't permit lying, or resign.

Thanks to: amorphous

If this only applied to non-citizens, it would be one thing.
Denying a Constitutional right without due process is unConstitutional.

Pelosi is in the top 15 wealthiest members of Congress.

She and her husband Paul have SEVEN different properties:

She’s not the 1%.

They ran the numbers and she REALLY IS in the top TENTH of the top 1%.

The latest ISIS savage pig murderers struck in France and California. Two governments with some of the strictest gun laws on the planet.
The answer Pelosi has is to confiscate your guns. That is what she said she would have no problem doing (except for not having the votes to do it) ‘Mr. And Mrs. America, ‘’Turn them un.’’

Who, what really IS the major enemy of this country. Is it Islam, or is it the Democrat Party?

ISIS has no Navy, no boats, no ships, no submarines. They have no Air Force, no bombers, no fighters, no troop carriers or refueling planes. ISIS has no ballistic missiles, no scuds, no short range missiles. They have no Space Program, no satellites, no real time intelligence.

THE ONLY WEAPON SYSTEMS ISIS HAS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS ARE THE OBAMA/CLINTON/JARRETT/LYNCH TRAITORS & DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, WHO DEMAND WE ALLOW MUSLIMS TO IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT AMERICANS. Then, they try to disarm us to make us more vulnerable.

"Pelosi: Gun restrictions needed to 'protect and defend' Americans,"

Protecting American citizens from despots like nancy pelosi is one of the reasons the Second Amendment exists.

whenever I hear this drivel, I am reminded of the village of Ben Tre, in South Vietnam.

“We had to destroy the village, in order to save it.”

The best thing she could do to save this country is resign her office.
