Actually she can be trusted, but trusted to do what it takes to forward her agenda. She isn't against an AWB, She would love an AWB, but she doesn't want to forward it at this time. She has a united front to push forward her socialist agenda with practically no opposition, she understands that. Once the AWB genie is let out of the bag there will be some Democratic desertions. Party loyalty could cost house seats. That doesn't mean that Pelosi doesn't see an AWB in our future, its just that she wants to chose the time and place of her battles. I suspect that she will be more willing to take on the gunshow loopholes before another go round with the AWB.

So guess what..... it has started and the new administration is doing exactly what we expected. So now just like one of the other posters noted, the Republican party is broken and is the problem. We need to concentrate on fixing our party and get back on the track of conservitism so we can combat this socalist administration. If we don't fix it soon and get everyone on the train, it will be too far gone.

From ABC News...

The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.

Wednesday Attorney General Eric Holder said that the Obama administration will seek to reinstitute the assault weapons ban which expired in 2004 during the Bush administration.
(AP Photos/ABC News Graphic )"As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border.

"I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum." Holder said at a news conference on the arrest of more than 700 people in a drug enforcement crackdown on Mexican drug cartels operating in the U.S.

Like I said above...The OP made mention of Obama and his most recent anti gun inititive and right off the bat we have to read someone post negative garbage about a guy who isn't even in charge...geeze....GW was actually one heck of a president. he kept terrorism off our back yards for 8 years...want to take bets on what city will get hit by terrorists first...now that president Mamby Pamby and his queen Palousy are in charge?

Anyway...the point is...quit using what Bush did as justification for what is going on now...it is going to get our country nowhere.


Get over it already....George Bush is retired.

The original Post an inflamatory statement.

Obama supports making the AWB permanent

Postby CHL/LEO » Tue Feb 24, 2009 12:34 pm
Got this from Obama's Urban Policy posting on the White House website:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.

The truth is that Obama hasn't done anything so far. He did show indications while campaigning that he will attack our rights, but so far he and congress have been too busy converting this country into a more socialistic government. Now we can go around screaming the the sky is falling, but what will we do when he actually does make attack. and will anyone take the Chicken Littles seriously.
[rant mode on]
There really isn't anything we can do to fix a liberal Democratic party, Obama is doing exactly what he promised to do, he never suggested that he didn't have a socialist agenda. The problem is that the democratic party promises and delivers leftist programs. Its Republican Party that's broken. They are the one promised to be conservative and delivered us ever increasing budgets and anti gun rhetoric. The truth is as conservatives there is nothing we can do to fix the Democratic party, almost every democrat knows that us gun toting conservatives aren't going to vote for them. We need to fix the Republican party. Until we do and start getting electable conservatives we will continue to get screwed to the wall with social programs. If our Republican Congress and Republican President had acted like the conservatives they were supposed to be, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now and Obama wouldn't president. I understand that a lot of lifelong Republicans don't like being badmouthed, but they have to learn to hate what they've become even more. [/end rant]
so pardon me as I refuse to pointlessly bash the enemy. There is no point. When the time comes I will fight to the best of my ability. I just hope that when the time comes the Republican party is in better shape than it is now.

It's almost as funny as people who try to paint any criticism of Bush as support for Obama or Al Qaeda or what ever red herring they can drag out to distract people from the fact Bush was a RINO and far left of JFK.
