Pelosi's revelation came during an interview on ABC's Good Morning, America. While insisting that Congress "never denied" the gun rights of American Citizens, Pelosi told Roberts, "We want them registered. We don't want them crossing state lines..."

It's clear that the democrats are itching for political suicide.

The political reality behind that reluctance was reflected in a recent Gallup Poll, which found record low support for gun restrictions. The survey was conducted in October, before the recent series of fatal gun incidents. But the poll did follow other heavily publicized tragedies such as the 2007 rampage at Virginia Tech University.

The 2008 survey found that 29 percent of Americans favored a ban on handguns.

The Gallup analysis noted that was the lowest level of support since the organization first began asking that question 50 years ago. In 1959, at the close of the Eisenhower administration, 60 percent of Americans favored such a ban.

A plurality of those surveyed, 49 percent did support the general concept of stricter laws covering the sale of firearms. Forty-one percent said such laws should remain as they are and only 8 percent said they should be less strict.

"This contrasts with public opinion in the early 1990s, when the balance of opinion was more than two-to-one in favor of making gun laws more strict," Gallup pointed out in an analysis of the results.

Even at that level, however, the public opinion balance would seem to favor new restrictions, but that position has gained no legislative traction. Perhaps the biggest reason for that, according to figures on both sides of the debate, is the political heft of the National Rifle Association.

"It goes back to the one of the oldest principles in politics -- intensity triumphs over extensity," said Mr. Baker, the Rutgers scholar. "If you're looking at the most effective lobbies in Washington, it's not the AARP, with many more members. It's the NRA."

Gallup noted that support for gun restrictions was at its highest in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, a period of generally higher crime rates when the original Brady bill and the assault weapons ban were enacted. The political sequel to those measures was the recurring characterization of Democrats as a party that wanted to take people's guns away.

To hell with this administration, those in Congress that want to take our guns and all the citizens of this country who want to feel safe at the expense of my right to own a weapon.
