Assault Weapons Ban III : The Return of... Pelosi?

I did a triple take on this one.

Pelosi throws cold water on weapons ban.

No. Really. It's not a link to the Onion.

"I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference. “I think it's clear the Bush administration didn’t do that.”

Wow.

Did Pelosi finally get a kick in the head of common sense? Does she understand that the second amendment is in the constitution for a reason?

Or... perhaps she realized if this AWB was floated right now, the Democrats would lose several seats in the House and Senate in the upcoming elections. Even if they only lost a few, that would be enough. Obama's presidency would be in trouble from that point on.

I think the Attorney General let the cat out of the bag too soon. I do think the democrats will try in earnest for the AWB, but only after the house and senate elections.

But Holder... just! couldn't! wait! to! tell!
