The rights of a few!? Where the hell does the Constitution say that?
Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all. That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned. And that is not the America I want my children and grandchildren to live in.
Looks to me like she admits violating our rights and then lied about our founding fathers...in a real world she would be ostracized and impeached....
“Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all. “
Feinstein, you’re right.
That’s why you people in congress need to be disarmed, and the rest of us armed.
Oh, and a gun free zone around you critters because it’s “adequate” for our children after all.
After all, there’s so few of you in congress, only like what 535 or thereabouts?
Why would you few people need guns while the vast majority of the rest of us should be disarmed?
Is this really the grounds on which they want to start a Civil War? Really?
Nutsos.
“This legislation is my life’s goal”
That’s literally the most pathetic and damnable life goal I’ve ever heard.
whatever happens, I will not comply
“It’s for the greater good.”
Benjamin Franklin had some choice words on the subject of safety and liberty—for those “few” of us referenced by this California Fine Swine—and this precise topic, regarding petty tyrants who know what’s best for the rest of us ... including (but certainly not limited to) “ ... if you can keep it.”
Further comments removed by the poster.
Ooops...forgot federal government officials...elected,appointed and Civil Service.
“That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned.”
Yeah, and they didn’t envision treasonous POS’s like frankenswine to make a career out of destroying this country.
” And that is not the America I want my children and grandchildren to live in.”
And the America that she strives for is one that I do not want to see my son live in.
Many years ago I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. And treasoncrat frankenswine and her ilk have proven themselves to be that domestic enemy.
“for the greater good”
Wasn’t Hitler’s people who came up with rational for killing minorities like Jews for the greater good of the German race?
Shame on Feinstein, a Jewish woman, for following on those same kind of meme.
Foolish me. I always thought the Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights, protects all of the people.
By the same logic, minorities would lose their rights for their overwhelming presence in gangs. Careful what you wish for, ma’am.
I have no clue as to any reasonable estimate of recent or new gun owners but I would have to say that by now the “few” are the progressive holdouts that are becoming more and more surrounded by gun owners.
Everey where I look I see or hear of people buying their first gun, asking for ammo, asking about maintenance advice or how to install optional equipment.
If ther4 was an uninterrupted supply of arms and ammo who knows what the percentage of gun ownership will become.
Unlike another country where a person would have just a pistol and a shotgun its must more involved in America.
People on average want at least four different weapons at home, per person no less.
Her primary motivation is the fear of an American Holocaust.
Where does she stand on the trial of the traitor who leaked the classified military documents to wikileaks?
SOME are claiming “freedom of the press”, “whistleblower”, etc.
Even with that flimsy excuse (in the name of aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war as well as the theft of the materials), it has cost lives. Does that “right” override safety?
Hoist the liberals on their on petard.
” Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all. That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned.”
She’s the Tzipi Livni of America.
The founding fathers. Let’s see. Just working from memory here: “Those that surrender their liberty for the sake of security deserve neither their liberty, nor their security.” -John Adams
Rights of the few should not endanger the many? So Diane Feinstein is also for legislation keeping incriminating evidence admissible, even if seized without a proper search warrant or probable cause? She is for keeping confessions admissible, even if obtained without a Miranda warning? Violent felons are let off Scott-free on a regular basis because the courts are concerned with these rights of the few, and the felons use that freedom to commit more violent crimes. Would such legislation even pass constitutional muster? Would Diane Feinstein be mad or glad if it didn’t?
And,exactly, where is the GOPe ‘leadership’ in opposing any infringement upon the Rights of the People?
Oh, right, they’re the ones willing to ‘make a deal’, then come with hand out, asking for $$$, saying “We did the best we could.”
Yes, they did the ‘best they could’ when slavery came around the vote again...Why they held the rank at only 60%
Where are the GOPe cheerleaders these days? Or the ones that said the SCOTUS was SO GREAT in ruling O’Care was simply a TAX (doesn’t matter how the LAW was written, eh?)
When wil F.R. finally realize that the 2-party cartel has sold them out? If it takes me crafting my own rifle to march upon D.C., when do we start?
