Senator Feinstein said the uote in question when she was introducing Senate Bill 150 (her Assualt Weapons Ban bill), not Senator Begich. If you go back one page, you will see that these are Feinstein’s remarks.
After Feinstein finished her remarks with “please, talk to your senator and your member of congress”, Begich began talking about his bill, the Mental Health First Aid Act of 2013.
“Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all” was spoken by Feinstein, not Begich.
““Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all” was spoken by Feinstein, not Begich.”
Who said it doesn’t change my opinion. We cannot allow the rights of the few who don’t need the protections offered by the Second Amendment to override the safety of all by disarming citizens and leaving them vulnerable to assault.
When Feinstein, et. al. set the example by disarming first, and dismissing their armed security, I will *consider* the issue. (Just consider it.)
I wondered the same thing since it doesn’t show up at his site. Thanks for clarifying this.
Hmmm... I wonder if Feinswein would allow
“the rights of a few” mentally disturbed individuals to walk freely amongst the citizenry “to override the safety of all”.
Thanks, smith5460! When I pulled up the page in question, it was unclear to me how to navigate in the Congressional Record.
After you guys caught my pile of poopie, I figured it out.
My apologies to all who were misled by the original INCORRECT Breaking News post.
