Well, get a load of this. On Sunday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein appeared on Fox News to discuss last week’s attack in Boston and terrorism in general, and Chris Wallace wondered whether the people in locked-down Boston last week, with concerns that “this fellow might be on the loose, might break into their house, might take hostages — would people like to have had guns?” “Oh, some may have, yes,” replied Feinstein.

But it isn’t just “some” Americans who would be partial to having the means to defend themselves from violent criminals on the loose in their neighborhood; as it turns out, a large majority of them do, including half of the people in even non-gun-owning households.
If you were in that situation, would you want a gun at your side?
Most American voters say yes, according to a new Fox News poll.
Sixty-nine percent say if they were in a situation similar to Bostonians, they would want a gun in their house.
That includes a large 88-percent majority of those in gun-owner households, as well as 50 percent of those in non-gun homes. …
In general, more voters think protecting the constitutional right to own a gun is a higher priority than protecting citizens from gun violence (53-42 percent). That’s mostly unchanged since January, when it was 51-40 percent.
But Feinstein went on: “Oh, some may have, yes, but if where you’re going is, do they need an assault weapon, I don’t think so. …

Can’t wait to see Repubs running over women and kids to get to a camera in order to show what a liar the admin was with their 90 percent crap...real soon now....soon....
Well, enough Senators cared about what we think to defeat Obama’s bills.
I have news for these folks, there are more violent criminals on the loose near them at any given time than they can possibly imagine. If they think they are only in danger when officials and the media tell them so they are only kidding themselves.
If they want a firearm when terrorists are loose in their neighborhood, they need a firearm at all times, whether they know it or not. LEO response time is never quick enough when a bad guy is near.
She should LIVE so long.
Barely, and under intense pressure. It should’ve never come up for a vote in the first place (unconstitutional) and should’ve never been that close. Don’t you agree?
You can bet that Diane Feinswine would have had armed guards around her stinky butt.
What would have happened if the storm troopers were met at the door by an armed citizen?
In that situation I would have been armed.
What if those two women in L.A. during the Dornan man hunt would have fired back?
What if Jose Gurena fired?
Is that self defense?
It is in my book.
That’s still a rather large minority of stupid people.
Good one onyx!
Yes, I agree.
Ditto, LVR. I have no problem with staying off of the streets while a manhunt is going on in my neighborhood but I’d be armed to the teeth inside my humble abode.
That man who went outside to smoke a cigarette and check on his boat was just lucky the terrorist was asleep while he was climbing around the boat. He needed a weapon to DEFEND himself. - When criminals are seconds away from killing you, the police are just minutes away when you call 911.
Sympatico!
Nice long ones with lots of bullets, preferably.
In other news, most people would like to own an umbrella when it’s raining.
I would have had the guy hog tied before the police showed up.
Or head blowed up by 44 mag bullet.
I’m sorry, self sufficiency is in my blood.
Yeah, I know. Keyboard warrior.
Honestly, I would not want the cops putting holes in my boat.
If I had too, that’s another thing.
Now we are paying for extra security in prison. Put him in the general population and let nature take its course.
[[Fox News poll: Why yes, most Americans would like a gun when there’s a manhunt going on outside]]
No no- we have the police to protect us- ask any liberal- oh wait- even hte police were gettign killed- AND they were firign off MANY MANY ROUNDS fro mtheir multi round magazines! and STILL they couldn’t subdue JUST TWO TERRORISTS- But by golly Biden thinks we only need a single shot shotgun, and the left thinks that all women have to do when gettign raped is to urinate on their attackers-
This country has lost it’s friggin mind!
