Pelosi To GOP: A Democratic President Could Declare National Emergency On Guns

[BluesLegend]

Guns are a constitutional right. There is no constitutional right to enter our country illegally.

There is a constitutional right for immigrants to seek asylum in the U.S.

ROFL! No there isn't, you dumbass turd.

That one should not be allowed to operate a toaster.

The House speaker warned Republicans about the precedent Trump could set by declaring a national emergency to secure border wall funding.

Ho

“I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say,” Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol. “Because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people.”

Pelosi said the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border doesn’t constitute an “emergency,” as Trump has framed it, but rather a “humanitarian challenge.”

“You want to talk about a national emergency?” Pelosi said. “Let’s talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. That’s a national emergency.”

Pelosi was referring to the Feb. 14, 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. She noted that a Democratic president could declare a national emergency on gun violence and warned Republicans to carefully consider the precedent Trump would set by using his executive power to override Congress.

“Democratic presidents can declare emergencies as well,” Pelosi said. “So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans.”



What goes around comes around. Go Nancy!

Because the world has a 'right' to enter our country, but the people have no 'right' to own fire arms.

Yeah, try and sell that as an emergency.

Like I said, the Constitution has NO say on what firearms the 1st amendment protects. It's why you can't buy a bazooka or nuclear weapon and say the 1st amendment protects you. Also background checks heavily enforced through this, basically could get the tightest gun control ever. Like I am saying, not a bag of worms I think Trump wants to open, unless he's looking at today and has no care about the repurcussions.

It actually says that the government is forbidden from infringing on the ownership of firearms.

Since the Democrats and Congress have decided to abdicate their oaths and duty to this country, it is fitting that the office tasked with protecting our nation do what is in his powers to do so. It is NOT in the powers of the President nor the Congress to violate the rights of the citizens, however.

 

[BluesLegend]

How long will this get hung up in the courts? My bet is two years...

Trump will be building the wall the entire time.

Pelosi...wait, what? Trump is still building the wall?

 

[GreenAndBlue]

To declare a national emergency and make it stick a nation must have the men on their side

It is trump with the men and they have had enough Trump will do as Andrew Jackson did and ignore congress and the courts

 

[Darkwind]

Can anyone answer this?

Yes. It isn't called the "Bill of Needs".

End of discussion.

 

[Lakhota]

Toddler Trump is our only national emergency.

Full List of National Emergencies Declared By Obama, Bush, Clinton Is Published!



You fucking retard.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

NRA is so desperate for money they are taking it from Russians.

Making shit up again.

What makes the NRA rich is electing Democrats.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Which is why Republicans don't dare let him get away with this.

Yeah, cuz Allah knows that Robert Mugabe Obama sure never declared national emergencies....

 

[Crepitus]

National gun violence is a major problem. Much bigger than Trump's fear-mongering about more border wall.

There should be a National Emergency on driving first seeing I am more likely to die on this country road system than being killed in a mass shooting...

There is no Constitutional Amendment that says you have the right to drive a car...

Commerce won't grind to a halt without guns. See what happens if you take away everyone's car.

What did this country do before cars?

This country had firearms before cars, so I guess the country grew without the automobile.

Again, the fact is you will kill someone with your bad driving before I am killed in a mass shooting!

Lol, welcome to the 21st century kid.

1. I am most likely older than you!

2. There is no Constitutional Amendment protecting your right to drive or have a cellphone!

3. Pass an Amendment to repeal the Second Amendment, wait you can't so you will declare an National Emergency while forgetting the USSC is now Conservative!

You conservitards ignore the Constitution all the time, I don't know why it would upset you.

Washington redskin,
And do what... firearm confiscation?
That would be Civil War you fucking moron

 

[nat4900]

What most ignorant Trump backers do NOT know, is that the bill........now fully backed by senate republicans.......includes the provision that "no wall may be built on federal land"

If you review the southern Texas map (like the Rio Grande Valley) you too would see that about 600 miles of the border IS on federal land.

It will be rather "interesting" to see how con-man Trump will be able to make "chicken salad out of chicken shit" and actually "sell" it to his ignorant base.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Actually my bet is to the next time a mass shootings incident happens under a democratic president this will be the inevitable reaction.

That is interesting. According to ICE about 1800 people in the US have been killed by illegal immigrants. And according to the CDC 39,773 Americans were killed by firearms. So if this is a national emergency, what happens with 22 times the number of deaths attributed to something killing Americans? Could a national emergency be declared that people still have the right to firearms less deadly than a pellet gun only?

Same could be said on the effects of climate change on weather, backed by scientific data. That's a much higher death toll as well. Should a national emergency be declared to fund renewable energy and shutter coal?

Lung Cancer kills 300k a year. Should cigarette sales be a national emergency to shut them down?

Diabetes and heart disease are hundreds of times more deadly than this emergency, should a national emergency limit sales of red meat and shut down the soda industry?

Lack of healthcare kills hundreds of thousands of Americans. Should a national emergency be declared to completely socialize healthcare.

White Supremacists accounted for the majority of extremist killings the past 15 years. Should those groups be banned under a national emergency, and anyone supporting them be locked up?

It's an interesting box of worms to try and open.

First off, Global Warming is not a science, it's a theory, but even if it were proven somehow, there is absolutely no evidence we could do something about it, so you can't declare a national emergency based on a theory and unproven ways to solve it.

Pop, cigarettes and red meat are all known to be unhealthy. You can't declare a national emergency on choices people freely make. What "white supremacy" groups killed all these people?

 

[BluesLegend]

Pelosi: What? damnit damnit damnit you, you know what...FINE...you know what...the next Dem president will declare guns a national emergency

Nope.

 

[Lakhota]

There are several ways to undermine and weaken the 2nd Amendment without changing or repealing it. A national emergency is only one way. Just think of how many ways anti-choice NaziCons have undermined and weakened Roe v. Wade.

We just discussed the definition of a scientific theory and why it's different than crap you come up with off the top of your head.

And all of those things are more of an emergency than the southern border, so if they don't meet your definition the border doesn't either.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Can anyone answer this?

Because you can kill at a distance with a firearm; something your attacker likely has.
