During the Senate Judiciary meeting today to markup a potpourri of bills designed to deny the American people their rights under the Second Amendment and disarm them, Senator Dianne Feinstein opposed an amendment to her so-called assault weapons ban legislation that would allow veterans to continue buying firearms the bill would outlaw.
Feinstein basically said all veterans have PTSD and should have their Second Amendment stripped. In response to the amendment, she said the following:
…this adds an exemption of retired military. As I understand our bill, no issue has arose in this regard during the 10 years the expired ban was effect… and what we did in the other bill was exempt possession by the United States or a department or agency of the United States… that included active military. The problem with expanding this is that you know with the advent of PTSD, which I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq War, it’s not clear how the seller or transferrer of a firearm covered by this bill would verify that an individual was a member, or a veteran, and that there was no impairment of that individual with respect to having a weapon like this. So you know I would be happy to sit down with you again and see if we could work something out but I think we have to — if you’re going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally don’t have access to this kind of weapon.

She’s the one that’s mentally ill and retarded and should be stripped of her concealed carry permit!!!
From my cold, dead, hands!
>> “I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq War”
No consideration of the phenomenal aspects of Obama’s war?
Thank God my dad has already given all his guns to me
and my brother. The 88 yr old combat wounded WWII
paratrooper who went on to earn a PhD in education
while sporting a titanium plate at the top of his skull
(courtesy of one of Japan’s finest) could lose it all at any
moment and fire warning shots into the crowd if he gets
his hands on a weapon. Diane, you go, girl.....go to hell,
that is.
If all vets have PTSD, then all cops, firemen, and other “public servants” suffer the same illness and cannot be trusted with guns - especially Secret Service and other government protection agents who are supposed to throw themselves in front of bullets to protect their charges - that has to be really stressful...
Frankenfienstien is just a typical democrat
i hate democrats
“They may only be armed so long as they are under OUR control”, thus sayeth the Overlords.
Mcarthyism lets embrace it and start using it
A background investigation is what the democrats has always wanted. An investigation and they have your name in a national database that will be used to take your weapons when they feel like the right time has come. Any politician that agrees to a national background check should be voted out of office. That’s what these bastards have always wanted, let no one be fooled. With all the guns available in this country no one needs to ever go to a store to buy one.
You seen this?
‘Feinswine’ is more appropriate. She’s gone senile just like Pelosi.
My uncle was in Italy for over a year. One day he came to our house and told his sister, my Mom, that he was unhappy and going to kill himself. Then he drove out in the country and shot himself with a Luger he brought back.
We should Bork her.
Yeah because veterans like me took an oath to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC
And as I recall there is no expiration date on the oath I took either.
Senator Frankenswine and her ilk should be charged with treason!
“She’s gone senile just like Pelosi.”
All that botox has given them brain cancer.
