House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.) confuses the first amendment and the second amendment in an interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday today.

HOUSE MINORITY LEADER NANCY PELOSI: I think that you took one piece of it. We're talking about no further sales of assault weapons. What is the justification for an assault weapon? No further sales of those, no further sales of the increased capacity, 30 rounds in a gun. We're re talking about background checks which is very popular, even among gun owners, and, hunters.

I wonder how many of our elected officials could pass the US citizen test. How many care?

What if Bush said that?

What? The Lame Stream Media don’t hold liberals to the same standard?

Never mind.

We avow the First Amendment. We stand with that and say that people have a right to have a gun to protect themselves in their homes and their jobs, where, and that they — and the workplace and that they, for recreation and hunting and the rest.

I hope Nanzi was sitting down when she said that cause
she shouldn’t try to walk and talk at the same time.

Dear Nancy, you are the justification for owning an “assualt” weapon.

Dear Nanzi,

Assault rifles come under “the rest” part.

Nancy doesn’t know if she’s coming or going.

She wouldn’t “avow” the First ( or the Second) Amendment if it bit her on her considerable a$$!

It always amazes me when elected officials twist the very document that allows them to be there. You would think they would have more respect for it.

Put another way, if they don’t follow the constitution, there is no reason for them to be in elected office.

Not only did she get the amendment wrong, she misused “avow,” which means “claim.” Affirm is the word that escaped her. The blind try to lead ... I have no idea how these idiots get elected let alone re-elected. sd

I think it’s fair that whatever the police can carry, we can carry.

Actually it’s how a lot of people actually decided on their handguns. They decided if they were good enough for their local police, or what the fbi thought was good, it would be good enough for them. And same with the ammo, they wouldn’t be a “gun nut” for using ammo hotter than what the police themselves determined to be adequate but not overkill.

But second, who is anyone in government to determine what your personal security requirements are for your self-defense? Who are they to know you don’t need a certain size magazine? These are the same people that pass laws saying you can’t sue the government for not protecting you.

Nancy has that disease when you take a dump, you pass out. Clearly this is what happened answering this question.

Those neurons are trying to fire in Nancy’s head, but all that whiskey up there blocks them like that guy in THE BLIND SIDE.
