Feinstein Says Reid Stopping Assault Weapons Ban Is A ‘Betrayal’
Freedom Outpost ^ | 20 March 2013 | Tim Brown

Posted on 03/20/2013 6:55:35 PM PDT by Windflier

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) pretty much dumped Senator Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban bill, leaving her feeling a bit betrayed. In fact, it is questionable that a serious background check will make it to the Senate floor.

Feinstein’s response to Reid’s decision was classic. She told CNN, “What Senator Reid told me is that I would have an opportunity for a vote. I take him at his word. I told him also that it would be my intention to separate out the prohibition on the future, manufacture, transfer, sales, and possession of large ammunition-feeding devices of more than ten bullets. I asked him if this could be part of a package. He said no. And I took away from that meeting the belief that we would have a vote on the full bill, and a vote on ammunition-feeding devices of more than ten bullets.”

“This is very important to me and I’m not going to lay down and play dead,” she continued. “I think the American people have said in every single public poll that they support this kind of legislation. It’s aimed to protect children, to protect schools and malls. It’s aimed to dry up the supply of these over time. And it came out on a 10-8 vote of the Judiciary Committee. Not to give me a vote on this would be a major betrayal of trust.”

“...just drop off a bottle of Kentucky’s finest bourbon...”

Is there one with an “Old Bitch” label?

Funny you should ask:

Of course it will. In some form or another. Enslavement is what Democrats do.

Once they have turned us all into criminals, they will have justice on their side.

Betrayal?

She’s been betraying the American people for twenty years, with the morals of a neglected sixth grader, having sworn to God to uphold and protect the Constitution. Wait til he lets her know what her act of betrayal really looks like

I agree with Di-Fi. She was terribly 'dissed.
I think she should stick a shiv into the crypt master at her earliest opportunity.

Harry is an SOB to EVERYONE.

He'd make a GREAT villain in the next James Bond epic.

And who among us would blame her if she did? That's an excellent suggestion.

Reid is making a political calculation that it is better to kill it now than to bring it up for vote and be embarrassed at the lack of support from his own party.

Someone should ask Senator Dianne Feinstein if she is willing to see several million US patriots die resisting her proposed law?

Thanks for the pic, Chode. I think I'll be finishing this blackened chicken for dinner tomorrow night now.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

prohibition on the future, manufacture, transfer, sales, and possession of large ammunition-feeding devices of more than ten bullets.

And they keep saying that no one is coming after your guns. To which I reply, "YET!"
