    Bitch Pelosi threat: Democrats could declare national emergency to enact gun control

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said President Trump’s plan to use a national emergency declaration to unilaterally provide federal funding for a border wall would set a precedent Republicans may come to regret.

    Democrats, she said, could use it later to enact their own priorities, such as increasing gun control.

    "Why don't you declare that a national emergency? I wish you would,” Pelosi during a press conference Thursday, noting it was the one-year anniversary of the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff. “But a Democratic president can do that.”

    Democrats may try to block Trump’s national emergency declaration in court. They may also pass a resolution stopping the move. Pelosi said Democrats are “reviewing our options,” depending on what, exactly, Trump says he is going to do.

    Earlier Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Trump informed him he would sign a border security and spending measure that provides $1.375 billion of the $5.7 billion Trump is seeking for structural barriers along the southern border. McConnell said Trump would declare a national security to acquire more funding beyond what is in the legislation.

    “Republicans should have some dismay about the door they are opening,” Pelosi said.

    The difference, Nancy, is that illegals have no constitutional right to cross the border.

    Not to mention the fact that firearm ownership is a Constitutionally protected right. If they tried to do anything like that with or without trying to pass a law, it would be sent to SCOTUS and I have no doubt it would be struck down. Pelosi is trying to compare apples and oranges here.
