President Barack Obama says he is reluctant to take the lead in antagonizing gun owners through new infringements upon Second Amendment rights. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represents a liberal district of California, has no such qualms.
During an appearance last week, Pelosi made it clear that a gun registration law is high on liberal lawmakers' agenda. "We want them registered," she said of Americans' firearms.
At the same time, Pelosi insisted that there is no conspiracy to confiscate guns from law-abiding owners. She claims that would not be possible even if liberals wanted to do it, because of a Supreme Court decision regarding a handgun ban in the District of Columbia.
It has been pointed out, however, that the high court's ruling in that case came on a vote of 5-4. Appointment of one additional liberal justice - which is probable during the Obama administration - could change that. A registration law would lay the groundwork for what Pelosi-style liberals have wanted for years - strict limits or outright bans on private ownership of guns.
Registration laws and limited bans prevent crime, the liberals say. But such laws are in effect in places such as Washington, D.C., and Chicago - which remain two of the most violent cities in America.
Gun owners are correct to worry about Pelosi's plan. It may be the prelude to an all-out attack on Americans' Second Amendment rights.
