Suicides. War. Gang violence. Police shootings. Homicides
Go ahead, screwy Nancy, it won't hold up in court. The overwhelming majority of gun deaths aren't from homicides. The number is truly very very low. The 2nd won't go away due to this. But if many on the left try and take away rights as a result, the jobs may go away!! :laugh:
I knew they/she would of course go with this right off the bat. At least be realistic and don't waste a TON of taxpayer money.
Getting funding and taking away rights - two different things here!

Pelosi: Declare Gun Violence a 'National Emergency' Because of 'Consistent Loss of Life'
WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that Congress should declare gun violence a “national emergency” and pass new gun laws to address the “epidemic” in the country.
Pelosi was referencing President Trump’s desire to declare a “national emergency” to obtain extra funding to build a border wall.
Pelosi hopes H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, will pass out of the House by the end of this month. According to the text of the bill, “it shall be unlawful for any person who is not a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer to transfer a firearm to any other person who is not so licensed, unless a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer has first taken possession of the firearm for the purpose of complying with subsection.”
She said anyone who tries to block the legislation should keep in mind that gun-control activists aren’t going anywhere.
“We’re not going away. You might as well save yourself a lot of time by accepting that fact, that the law will be changed, that lives will be saved,” Pelosi said during an event Tuesday organized by MoCo Students for Change, a student-led anti-gun violence group, and Change the Ref.
“It’s an epidemic. It’s an emergency. We should declare it an emergency and take great action immediately. Are you ready to accept the success we are about to have?” she added.
