“We cannot allow the rights of a few to override safety.”

Nor can we allow the will of many to override the freedoms of many.

We go to war to provide freedom. Do we go to war to provide safety? Yes, and often that war is by exercising our freedoms! You cannot have safety without freedom! Don’t give up your rights to freedom or you will lose your safety.

Something wrong with the lib’s logic?

‘That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned.’

Actually, the founding fathers are looking more and more prophetic with each passing day.

That question doesn’t make any sense.

WE CANNOT ALLOW THE SAFETY OF A VERY FEW TO OVERRIDE THE RIGHTS OF ALL.

Your statement on this is a statement of principle, and is correct. But on pragmatic grounds, also, it is Bravo Sierra. The more guns are banned, the more the criminals and homicidal nutcases rejoice, because they much prefer unarmed and defenseless potential victims.

It wasn’t long ago they were blaming Rush Limbaugh, conservative talk radio and Sarah Palin for violence that happened in Tucson, Arizona. “We cannot allow the rights of a few to override safety.” could become a very dangerous slop.

Put simply, we cannot allow the rights of a few to override the safety of all. That is not the America that our founding fathers envisioned.

What Double Speak. What she is really saying is that the government wants to take away EVERYONE's rights (not just a the rights of a few) so that she can centralize power in the hands of a few. And as for the Founders not envisioning that kind of America, let's just ask Benjamin Franklin himself, whether he thought about the sacrificing freedom for safety:

Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

--Benjamin Franklin

There is no such thing as the rights of the group (or many).

Only an individual can have rights.

Is that why Obama gave 20 F16s fighter jets to the enemy ?

Safety ?

sure feinstein we can surely afford to give away $292 million worth of our own safety equipment to the muslim Brotherhood/AlQaeda right now

Feinstein should be arrested and sent to Gitmo with Obama, Hillary and Holder
