Comrade Pelosi

Despite logic and evidence overwhelmingly to the contrary, Überkommissar Nancy Pelosi this week called for universal firearm registration and prohibitions on interstate transport of guns by citizens:

ROBERTS: Let's bring it back here at home for a moment. There's so many issues on people's minds. This past weekend, and the past week, we've seen a lot of mass shootings.

PELOSI: Yes.

ROBERTS: And the shooter in Pennsylvania, he was stated as saying that part of the reason why he purchased the AK-47, that he feared that under the Obama administration, that you would reinstate the assault weapon ban. And how do you reconcile that with the work that you have to do in trying to stem these types of surges in gun purchases?

PELOSI: Clearly, this is a sick person. So, whatever excuse he uses for his behavior is about that sickness. But, it's important to note that since March 10th to April 5th, 53 people have been the victims of gun violence in our country. Four officers in Oakland, California. But the experience in New York more recent, and even many more people killed. We have to have answers to this. We have to find some level of compromise. 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. And yet, they want to put a gun- a draconian gun bill- attach that to that. I don't think that that should be the price is to pay to have a vote on the floor of the House. But we have to find some middle ground.

ROBERTS: Under the Bush administration, you pretty much said the ball was in their court when it came to reinstating the ban. Now, it's a Democratic President, a Democratic House. So, is the ball in your court where this is concerned?

PELOSI: Yes, it is. And we are just going to have to work together to come to some resolution because the court, in the meantime, in recent months, the Supreme Court has ruled in a very- in a direction that gives more opportunity for people to have guns. We never denied that right. We don't want to take their guns away. We want them registered. We don't want them crossing state lines as this legislation would do in the District of Columbia. We wouldn't tell any other state what to do. But Congress wants to tell the District of Columbia. So, in any event, there's tremendous work ahead on this. And we have to rid the debate of the misconceptions that people have about what gun safety means.


The bill to effect such a scheme -- HR 45, as sponsored by Castro-buddy Bobby Rush of Illinois -- is already introduced in the House.

So on the assumption that Pelosi will get her way as a 'compromise' in the wake of the current media-driven 'guns are scary' campaign, let's think a little about how an interstate-transport provision would be enforced.

Can you say roadblocks, labeled as "gun safety checkpoints"?

A bit of reconnaissance, ranging, and topo sketching at major interstate border crossings would seem to be in order, amigos.

Enjoy the weekend.

I'd hazard a guess that she's never heard of Col. Cooper's four rules of gun safety.

When the checkpoint order is given, the CHIEFS who deploy them are gonna have a real bad day THAT DAY. Strike the trunk, not the twig. Then head for the root. First, interstate. Then inter-city. Then intRA-city. Then anywhere they damn please. The city near me already does random stops and searches on public streets that run across the urban college campuses, gun-free zones under state law. My checkpoint policy stands.
I have informed my employers that if this hits the fan, I won't be in to work for the rest of my life. They are an influential corporation in the community and do what they can to DESTROY the Bill of Rights. No guns on the property. No politicial activism allowed for employees. They'd LOVE to do vehicle and bag searches themselves. My checkpoint policy stands.

I have a place to shoot on the other side of a state line. I'll be damned if...
To destroy the Second Amendment, they've already destroyed just about all of the Fourth. This is the coup de grace.
"A bit of reconnaissance, ranging, and topo sketching at major interstate border crossings would seem to be in order, amigos." Yes. Done. Don't drive into the kill zone. High crawl to within range of it.

If the US Army had so much hell in Iraq, a nation the size of Texas, how does anyone even remotely believe that Pelosi's bullshit is gonna work here?? Even Pelosi isn't THAT stoopid, is she??

Before Congresscritters do anything like attempt to invoke registration and use the illegal Interstate Commerce Clause effectively attempting to prohibit citizens of the 'several states' from freely transporting their property between those states, they need to read Neither Predator Nor Prey to see how enforcment actions like roadblocks are dealt with.

If these treasonists and their minions attempt roadblocks, it will get very ugly, very quickly and there will be no going back for anyone.

You ignore and mock the Constitution, therefore you are an enemy of the Republic. Go straight back to Hell, nancy pelosi.

People who fly have already been 'trained' to put up with all manner of degradation by the TSA, with no end in sight. So if it went that way, there would be a lot compliance.

If the .gov is by nature unable to protect the mex.gov and can.gov borders, I'd really like to see what kind of foolish cr*p they come up with on the interstates.

Peter, ya gotta do something about this post. It's been up too long and the image of Pelosi getting her jowls stretched tight (maintenance tuck) is hurting my eyes! :-)

On a more serious note... there's a lot of interstate lanes. Pelosi's idea is dangerous. It would be devastating to her because of the outrage it would incite. "Papers please" and "submit to an inspection of your vehicle" are not phrases that Americans would accept. The backlash would be amazing. It would be a huge drain on police forces. Hopefully we can also count on the Oath-Keepers to stand up at this time.
