Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a verbal bombshell in the middle of an interview on Good Morning America April 7, and surprisingly, neither the press nor a majority of gun rights activists seemed to notice. Responding to a question from ABC’s Robin Roberts, Pelosi said that while Congress apparently does not want to take anyone’s guns away, “We want them registered.”

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...

Registration is but a precursor to confiscation.

Did not the Jewish people have to register prior to the holocaust?

Molon Labe.

tahDeetz

[AnglePark]

I really hate that woman.

[catbertz]

She probably hates you too ;)

[Domandred]

Sorry Nancy I ain’t registering crap

[Slapshot68]

“We don’t want to take their guns away. We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines...”

First guns...then citizens.

“papers please?”

[FreedomFerret]

Aren’t they already essentially registered? You know how much paperwork you have to fill out to buy any gun. The sales paperwork is all there. Your local police background check is all there.

Tell the Feds to get it themselves.

[B-Chan]

NEVER

[cowboyusa]

Tick, Tock!

[xtinct]

Note to Pelosi.... As long as groups like ACORN, gangs, and other criminals are running amok (including in the case of the gangs... illegal guns, drugs, etc.), Americans who own guns will probably keep that information to themselves.

Nancy's Folly... get the gangs to register their guns... uh huh...

[EGPWS]

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...

Can't these idiots even maintain a coherent directive and convey it as such?

Anyone who votes for such a mindless twit for national office belongs in a strait jacket not a voting booth.

[andy58-in-nh]

No. Not ever. "Shall not be infringed" means what it says. Got a problem with that, Ms. Pelosi? How would you like 10 or 15 million armed citizens ringing the Capitol? Try us.

[devere]

“Registration is but a precursor to confiscation.”

You got that right.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Funny, I don't remember seeing anything in The Constitution about registration. In fact, it says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be INFRINGED!

REGISTRATION IS INFRINGEMENT!!!

[Cheetahcat]

Aaahh Note to Nancy Go Pound sand you Twit.

[AnglePark]

Well, I guess she and I have something in common afterall. ;-)

My guess is she hates lots of things, and the meds just aren’t making her any happier.

[stickandrudder]

Come and get them.

Lead first!

[Sir Gawain]

This doesn’t affect me. I don’t even have any guns to be registered. No weapons at all. Nope.

[Lurking in Kansas]

I got mine so long ago... I'm not...

;-)

[indylindy]

There is no reason to have fed registration. It would not stop crime.

[Frantzie]

Pplease please please push this Nancy. It is such a “good” idea. Please push it now before you push for amnesty.

This stinking vermin needs a mega backlash. People who never owned guns are buying them by the truckload.

[BenLurkin]

There is no purpose for registration other than confiscation.

[Frantzie]

LOL! I may put a “Gun Free Household” sign in my yard. Anyone remember those?

It was like a neon sign for criminals to break in.

[EGPWS]

California has the toughest ban on assault weapons in the nation.

Well, chalk one up for Pelosi, California sure has been a state with a government worthy of praise of late. /s

[1035rep]

This doesn’t affect me. I don’t even have any guns to be registered. No weapons at all. Nope.

:)

[anniegetyourgun]

ditto....please ignore my Freepname.

Not a bad idea Frantzie, the practice ranges are getting crowded these days. ; )

[VR-21]

[BubbaBasher]

I think the Capitol is the perfect place for registering our weapons. Let’s all be good citizens and take our guns to the Capitol. How about July 4th?

[2harddrive]

If PEOPLE can cross state lines, why can’t GUNS? Madame Pelosi wants guns REGISTERED, because that’s the only way they can be CONFISCATED!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Note to G-5 Pelosi.....The only thing I’m registering is a back fat middle finger right between your eyes, dipstick!.....

[2harddrive]

Register ALIENS, not Guns!

[tgusa]

You got that right. Even my wife, who has hated guns all her life, is getting a Makarov 9mm with range lessons from a local police officer to follow.

[TrueKnightGalahad]

Is there anyone on this site who is surprised by this? To all of you who sat on your hands to 'punish' Republican candidates who were less-than-perfect, and thus delivered us all into the hell of a Dim-controlled WH and Congress, here is yet more evidence of the damage you have wreaked on our country. The Teleprompter-in-Chief has already voiced his intention of starting down the road of US disarmament; if our soldiers will be denied arms, how much less important are we mere subjects of his Infernal Majesty? Forget Tea Parties - we should be having Slap-An-Obama-Voter Parties...and Slap-Obama-Enabler (you know who you are!) Parties, too.

[goodnesswins]

Even the Canadians couldn’t accomplish registration....she’s an idiot....but, then, we know that....

IF Asked the question on the Census...do you own guns, how many, what type, etc....??? Does anyone think ANYONE will tell the truth? Thank God our founders were brilliant.

[Sig Sauer P220]

How would you like 10 or 15 million armed citizens ringing the Capitol? Try us.

They seem to be inviting just that very thing.

[unkus]

Me either. Mine were all lost when the boat tipped over.

[concerned about politics]

Registration is but a precursor to confiscation.

Yep. That's the idea. When there aren't enough ants left to feed all the grasshoppers, one segment of the socialist collective has to be eliminated. Self defense stands in the way of that happening.

History repeats itself.

[EGPWS]

Come and get them.

Lead first!

Don't mind me while I hold them.... ; )

[Uncle Miltie]

"Did not the Jewish people have to register prior to the holocaust?"

Yes. All "enemies" defined by the Nazis had to register firearms, which were then confiscated.

Just try to register firearms....you'll register something alright, but it is more likely to be the ammunition that registers when the guy shows up.

[prismsinc]

No. Not ever. "Shall not be infringed" means what it says. Got a problem with that, Ms. Pelosi? How would you like 10 or 15 million armed citizens ringing the Capitol? Try us.

Well said!

[Uncle Miltie]

Mine were all lost in an unfortunate canoeing accident.

[Sig Sauer P220]

This doesn’t affect me. I don’t even have any guns to be registered. No weapons at all. Nope.

Me neither. My signon? Uh,,,,,er,,,,uh,,,,,thats just bawdy talk. Yeah, thats it.

[EGPWS]

Self defense stands in the way of that happening.

Personal freedom!

It's the self defense that protects it....THINK BIG!!!!

[MikeWUSAF]

Nazi Weapons Act of 1938 (Translated to English)

Classified guns for “sporting purposes”.

All citizens who wished to purchase firearms had to register with the Nazi officials and have a background check.

Presumed German citizens were hostile and thereby exempted Nazis from the gun control law.

Gave Nazis unrestricted power to decide what kinds of firearms could, or could not be owned by private persons.

The types of ammunition that were legal were subject to control by bureaucrats.

Juveniles under 18 years could not buy firearms and ammunition.

[dallascsr]

Watch the “20/20” special on “If I Only Had a Gun” Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

Fear breeding fear.

[GYL2]

Aren’t they already essentially registered? You know how much paperwork you have to fill out to buy any gun. The sales paperwork is all there. Your local police background check is all there.

More importantly, does all of that ACTUALLY have Any effect on crime???

The answer is most certainly NO, but that would never stop those idiots!!!!

[Osage Orange]

There are millions of firearms that are not "registered".

Guns that have been handed down...from family member to family member.

Guns that have been stolen.

Guns that have been privately sold to another person.

Etc...Etc...

[Adams]

Yours too?
