Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was heavily criticized on Wednesday for blatantly lying about the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 that was passed in the House of Representatives with 231 votes in favor and 198 votes against.
Pelosi’s tweet claimed that the bill invited violent criminals, domestic abusers, and convicted stalkers to “carry concealed weapons” which “doesn’t save lives.”
Inviting violent criminals to carry concealed weapons doesn’t save lives
Inviting domestic abusers to carry concealed weapons doesn’t save lives
Inviting convicted stalkers to carry concealed weapons doesn’t save livesYet the @HouseGOP just voted to do exactly that #StopCCR

Her claims are not remotely true; those three groups of people are not only banned from buying guns, but they are banned from even possessing them. That the Democrat leader would tweet something so demonstrably false can mean only one of two things: either she is deliberately trying to mislead the public or she is actually this ignorant of existing gun laws in the United States.
Anyone convicted of a felony or domestic-violence-related misdemeanor is already prohibited from legally owning or possessing firearms, let alone legally carrying them. https://t.co/vmoDN16E12

[contentcards url=”http://www.dailywire.com/news/24418/nancy-pelosi-gets-roasted-lying-tweet-about-ryan-saavedra” target=”_blank”]This is patently false. Existing law 18 USC s922 bars violent criminals and domestic abusers from legal carry or purchase. You are attempting to deny rights based on false claims. #2A #ConcealedCarryReciprocity https://t.co/ULXDywpzl1
