BTW, I can't believe this got 70 replies in without someone pulling this out:

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety - Benjamin Franklin

Remember the names guys! Treason has a price.

Senator Feinstein is a staunch gun control advocate. Despite her stance, in the 1970s, she obtained a concealed firearms carry permit, and carried a handgun with her. A CCW permit was then rare in California, and was the only such permit in San Francisco. At the time, she was the target of a terrorist group that had shot out all the windows in her home. She no longer carries a gun.

I feel threatened and unsafe every time this bimbo opens her fat mouth.

I say we can’t let the free speech rights of a few override my fear of idiots.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all.”

Rights cannot be restricted because a few screwballs abuse them. That’s like saying because a drunk driver steals a vehicle and kills a bunch of people that I am not allowed to have a car.

[Eagle of Liberty]

This legislation is my life's goal. As long as I am a member of the Senate, I will work night and day to pass this bill into law. No matter how long it takes, I will fight until assault weapons are taken off our streets.

Just a tip, but if this is your life's goal, you may want to get OUT of the Senate a bit more and walk down some of the roughest streets in America. You may have a tough time getting THOSE weapons.

Dear Sen. Feinmess,

You were not elected to “vote your conscience”, you dumb cow! You were elected to represent your constituents. Do you have even the foggiest idea whether the majority of them are for this ban? Do you care?

[ctdonath2]

Nice point.

The rights in question are the rights of all.
That the majority choose to not exercise those rights does not invalidate them for the minority who choose to.

Would that they were “liberals”. They are totalitarians.

Feinstein Uses 'Fast and Furious' to Make Case for National Gun Registration

Making a case for national gun registration, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said “perhaps mistakes were made” in the botched gun-walking program known as Fast and Furious, but she said trying to assign blame misses the larger problem.

“This is a deep concern for me. I know others disagree, but we have very lax laws when it comes to guns,” Feinstein, an advocate of gun control, said during Tuesday's hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism.

“My concern, Mr. Chairman, is that there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made,” Feinstein said. “But I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem. And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything.”

I love capitalism. I’ll take the food concessions and sell souvenirs.

We’re going to make a killing on this. ;>)

[huldah1776]

Man do I wish we had a vote of no-confidence and simply fire them.

[beelzepug]

That’s a heap o’ hangin’ for one morning, there, Gator.

[Joe Brower]

"She sounds mighty racist and ignorant."

Just like the people who keep re-electing her.

[Enough is ENOUGH]

“Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said “perhaps mistakes were made” in the botched gun-walking program known as Fast and Furious, but she said trying to assign blame misses the larger problem.”

In other words, she echoes Hillary’s take on the Obamanation’s coverups, “What difference does it make?”

[Obadiah]

Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all.

And they question why people want to defend themselves against tyranny!

[DAC21]

This POS has some nerve. Just ask her if the Atheist have the right to have Crosses taken down, the 10 Commandments removed for Courts, Christmas celebrations canceled. She will tell you YES.

Ask her if the 2% of gays have the right to push there lifestyles on the 98%, and claim they are normal,she will say YES.

She can rot in hell.

American “exceptionalism” is that its Republic form of government with its separation of powers and levels was designed for maximum protection of the individual’s rights from the majority. As is pointedly stated in the 10th Amendment to the Constitution, there are rights retained by the individual FROM government. The second Amendment clearly states that the right to keep and bear arms is one of those individual rights.

As James Wilson stated:

“It [sovereignty] resides in the PEOPLE, as the fountain of government.” “They have not parted with it; they have only dispensed such portions of power as were conceived necessary for the public welfare.”

Through the written document of the Constitution of the United States, the people of each State delegated power to a President and federal Congress to serve as their agents, authorized to act only through specific institutions and in specifically enumerated areas that represented selective attributes of national sovereignty. Similar to a limited “power of attorney,” the federal government, as an agent, has no authority to assume powers beyond those specified.

It is irrelevant whether Senator Feinstein in her questionable wisdom feels that it better for all to seize control of guns. She simply was not delegated that power by the People. To do what she is doing exceeds the limitations of her power, violating the consent of the people and making us all “subjects” of some run away federal imperial rule.

We are talking about the rights of every adult in this nation who is not crazy or a felon. So I guess the socialist witch from Cali thinks there are just a few of us out here.

STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,STUPID,witch of the west.....

[CORedneck]

Talk about the Whose Who of liberal douche-bags ! And Liz Warren, the so-called “real” American Indian signed her name on the bill. How many years are we going to have to see Ms. Warren in the Senate. A bad dream like Boxer and Feinstein.

[GlockThe Vote]

These people are tyrants.
