Statement of Senator Dianne Feinstein On the Mass Shooting at Virginia Tech
US Senate ^ | April 16 | Diane Feinstein

Posted on 04/16/2007 6:12:49 PM PDT by PghBaldy

It is my deep belief that shootings like these are enabled by the unparalleled ease with which people procure weapons in this country. And I believe this will reignite the dormant effort to pass common-sense gun regulations in this nation.”

“My heart nearly stopped when I heard that more than 30 people had been killed at Virginia Tech today.

In an instant, the hopes and dreams of students were destroyed by a cowardly and terrible act of insane violence. My deepest condolences go to all those touched by this violence.

This mass shooting will be seared into our memories, alongside Columbine, 101 California, the University of Texas Clock Tower, and the shooting at a McDonald’s in San Ysidro, California. ------

Senator Feinstein is the author of the 1994 federal Assault Weapons Ban, which prohibited the manufacture and importation of 19-types of military-style assault weapons and dozens of others by physical characteristic.

The ban lapsed on September 13, 2004, despite the fact that a clear majority in the Senate voted for extension of the ban in February 2004.

Shut up Fienstein. This is a local VA issue. It has nothing to do with California.

She had the right to carry in San Francisco but, of course, she is part of the elite. Some are more equal than others.

Message to DiFi....there are reports suggesting that the shooter was a Chinese national present in the US on a temporary visa.If this report is true could it not be said that this is a case about the ease with which mentally unstable,or frankly psychopathic,aliens are able to enter and remain in this country?

Just wait, Hollary will jump on the band wagon.

She never misses a chance after a tragedy.

FIGURES the old bag would come to that conclusion. I think see fears for her mortality.

Gun bill gets shot down by panel (VA Tech - On Drudge)

Above is the real story. It is no surprise to me that that the loathsome Feinstein took the opportunity to attack gub rights.

Pistols were used Diane.

What if idiot Feinstein learns that the gunman got his guns illegally? If the democrat want to make restrictions on the 2nd amendment an issue in the next elections, we should welcome it, it will assure their total defeat.

It’s people like Feinstein that actually make me want to shoot somebody. Luckily for her she’s worth neither the price of a bullet, nor my time. :)

Feinstein has friends in Big China, right?

She's attempting to misdirect our attention to protect them.

It's long overdue for "W" to pick up pukes like this and toss them in a cell for the duration of the war.

Lord, I positively hate these Copperheads and their smarmy lackeys.

May you stand before God and man as my two precious grandchildren's killer if you pass any more gun legislation that will make me a felon should I own a handgun or any other gun for that matter.

Sincerely,

Mary Carpenter
