FEINSTEIN INTRODUCES "ASSAULT WEAPONS" REAUTHORIZATION BILL (S.2498)
NRA-ILA ^ | 6/4/2004 | NRA

FEINSTEIN INTRODUCES "ASSAULT WEAPONS" REAUTHORIZATION BILL
NRA-ILA
June 4, 2004

Yesterday, vehemently anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)introduced S. 2498, legislation that would reauthorize the Clinton gun ban. The bill is being held on the Senate floor and could come up at any time.

This is the start of a sustained political battle we`ll be waging over the next few months. Our opponents will continue to work at every turn to try and accomplish their anti-gun goals, and we need to be prepared. Please visit NRA-ILA`s informative website-- www.ClintonGunBan.com --and learn the facts about this debate, which has too long been driven and dominated by falsehoods and emotion. And please forward this website to others who need to know both the history and the truth about this issue. Then, please contact your Senators and urge them to oppose S. 2498 or any other legislation seeking to extend the so-called "assault weapons" ban.

You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at http:/www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121.

I'm always gratified to see that more and more people are beginning to understand that these JINOs do not speak for the proud sons of Abraham.

My grandfather - WWII veteran - told his children and grandchildren that "Never again" means "Never again". we all learned to mourn our dead, love our country, and honor the Warsaw Uprising. The man saw what could happen, and made sure that his family would be able to do something to stop it.

A wise, tough old man.

"She's only pulling this now because of how close it is."

Oh, I think that she's bringing it up because she wants gun control to be a campaign issue in 2004.

Throw me in that briar patch!

"Didn't happen with the DC sniper shooting, despite the best attempts of all the media and the libs."

True, but that wasn't a huge, instant spectacle of blood, gore, and dead bodies like a mass-shooting would be.

The graboids would just LOVE to see some video on the news of 10-20 corpses on the ground in a mall or school, with the camera panning slowly to a blood-spattered semiauto sporter lying in a pile of casings.

Well, it's her signature issue. Also, due to her being so immersed in the Leftist culture of her home base, she really has no idea of how far off she really is.

The defeats she has suffered thus far must truly confound her.

Here's hoping she gets another. She might decide to retire.

jfpo.org's philosophy precisely.

It's interesting for me to read their site (as a Goyim...) because until I saw that one, I thought that the Jewish take on guns was damn near monolithic.

Of course, there is no 'monolithic view' in the Jewish community on a number of issues, demonstrated by Rebbe Boteach's column also found on FR today (No Soul Left to Sell)--

Or by JewishWorldReview. This Goyim has a lot in common with those guys...

In twenty years, it will be easier to convince "normal" 13 year old boys to engage in sex with each other than to touch evil firearms.

I think the numbers speak loudly against the lie embedded in this cultural change. A Whitehouse report says that 438,795 Americans have died from AIDS in the last 20 years. At least 76% of them were male. And only 10% of those infections were due to heterosexual activity. That compares to an estimated approximately 420,000 firearms murders. (As with AIDS, those irresponsible persons who had the potential to be responsible for the deaths of others were themselves more likely to become victims: these numbers require us to consider that some 2/3 of the incidents involve criminals shooting at criminals.)

While Rome is burning, Senator Feinstein plays her violin of cultural diversity (example: her support of Boxer's proposed don't ask don't tell amendment in 1993 -- which failed).

The real threats to our health and welfare are front and center in our cultural decline. It's not popular to talk about the reasons for AIDS, or why our birthrate is falling, or why our families can't take care of each other now. It's also not popular to talk about the cultural component in our firearms statistics -- such as the lack of firearms mentorship for children and just why that might have evolved. The TV teaches kids all about firearms, and they witness 16,000 murders on TV by the age of 18, most by handguns. But why address the cause when the effect gets so many more votes?

Better get people all worried about guns and keep them worried. That way the flames roaring up from deep within the timbre of our civilization will seem unimportant...

"Goy" is singular;
"Goyim" is plural.

And, yeah, Pa was JPFO before they founded the group; JDL, too.

Remember, a Zionist is a Jew with a gun. and pa made sure we were all G-d fearing American Zionists.

A quote:

"I didn't fight and kill so you could pack up and make aliyah. We're Americans, we went through too much not to be. We stay here. When Moshiach comes, we can go to Israel."

Great man, great American. And there used to be hundreds of thousands just like him.

Plenty of us understand the distinction. Feinstein speaks for you exactly as much as Chappaquiddick Fats speaks for me.

Any way I dissect it, I see a CW2 (or a DW1) in our future.

The present trendlines don't go out much further without a serious social explosion.

What chapter are you on? It must be interesting to go between EFAD and AWB threads like this!

i know, but it still is a source of shame, for many of us.

on a related topic, I note that many of my tribe seem to loathe and fear the only group solidly supporting Israel - the evangelical Christians. for me, I think they're great and good people, and should be encouraged. (And no, i don't get worried when they want to convert me or others. They don't use the rack or torture, just persuasion and genuine concern for my well-being. Good, solid folk, righteous Gentiles, as we say, whom the Lord remembers, blesses, and protects.)

OK, the contact info is posted on your TheFiringLine thread.

Some guy calling himself "Standing Wolf" at TheHighRoad.org felt inclined to post a snide comment. Sheesh, with friends like that, who needs enemas?

Feinstein as head of San Francisco government was the one who kicked the US Navy out of San Francisco Bay and Fleet Week cancelled, it appears? Quite un-American , it appears?

Yeah, that would be us, I guess! $;-)

It's just frustrating that you can't just reach through the monitor and slap some people.

Thanks for the grammar lesson...

Now if Goy is singular, and Goyim is plural, then how does that Spanish painter Goya fit?

Here's a quote that fits both your Dad and Ron Reagan:

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." --Gen. George S. Patton

IMHO, if this is nuked again like last time, it will be Feinswine's last gasp.

We can only hope, but the like of Fienswine, Chuckles the cereal killer, The Governator, Blag the governor puppet and his string puller Hizzoner Daley are legion. Eternal Vigilance! Besides, it wasn't exactly nuked. We had to give a perfectly good frivolous lawsuit protection bill to kill it.
