"The votes aren't there for gun control," she said. "We certainly aren't going to be able to do it in this Congress, and I don't know that we would be able to do it in a Democratic Congress because it takes a lot of votes to go down that path."
Indeed, after the Colorado shootings, just four lawmakers held a press conference calling for better gun safety laws. Two of them, Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), followed up with a bill that would make it significantly harder to buy unlimited amounts of ammunition on the Internet, which is how the Colorado shooter purchased his bullets. Congressional leaders have already signaled the bill isn't likely to go anywhere.
"Some people wanted him to go farther," Pelosi said, but "we have to have a national conversation about this. We have to bring people together at the table to say, listen to what our law enforcement people are saying ... They would be a very respected voice in all of this."
If people could hear police officers talk about how current gun laws are "stacking the deck against us as we go out there," it could hugely impact people's perspectives on the debate, she added.

According to the research of the Officer that pretty much developed the current Police Responses to active killers.
"In reality, (not theory), and round numbers, rapid mass murder has been aborted primarily by a single courageous actor. 50% have been UNARMED citizens, 25% were armed citizens, and the remainder, have been police officers, (also primarily initiated by a SOLO officer)."

I'll bet she has guns, a permit and probably armed bodyguards.
I've heard the talk, and to be honest it comes across like a bunch of pansies whining. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about how they "put their lives on the line each and every day" when in reality many, many people place themselves in much greater danger than cops when they go to work.
Save your 'Stazi State' bullcrap for your constituents Nancy. I'm sure it will help cover up the fact that you betray them in Congress repeatedly on the REAL issues.
If you outlaw guns, only outlaws and the Government will have guns.
Pelosi at least used to carry a gun for self defense. She may do it still.
Bloomberg and most Anti-gun politicians have armed Bodyguards to protect them.
Rosie O'donnell and many other anti-gun celebrities also pay armed men to guard them.
The true meaning of these Anti-Gun Campaigners is clear.
You aren't worthy of the protection a gun offers, that's just for important people like us...
