Washington, D.C. Brady Campaign President Dan Gross issued the following statement in response to the hold Senator Dianne Feinstein placed on bills S 2188 and S 2213, which the Brady Campaign believes should be called the George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Acts.
The Senate bills, pushed by the NRA just days after Trayvon Martin's shooting death, are similar to HR 822, which passed the House late last year. They would force virtually every state to honor the concealed carry permit of every other state.
"Just a day after her staff met with three gun violence victims from the California Chapters of the Brady Campaign, and two days after 32 victims of gun violence came to Capitol Hill to demand that Congress keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, Senator Dianne Feinstein put a hold on the concealed carry bills we believe should be called the George Zimmerman Armed Vigilante Acts.
Once again, Senator Feinstein is making it crystal clear that she puts the safety of the American people ahead of the dangerous guns everywhere vision of the gun lobby.
If either of these bills become law, and your state has reasonable regulations that might prevent somebody like George Zimmerman, a man with an arrest record and a history of violence, from carrying a loaded hidden gun, tough luck! Dangerous people like Zimmerman could carry loaded hidden guns on your streets and there would be nothing you or your local law enforcement could do about it.
On behalf of the overwhelming majority of Americans, we thank Senator Feinstein for standing up for our safety and preventing more tragedies like the ones represented by the victims gathered in Washington DC this week....

Means nothing without a conviction. Heck, I know a guy that has spend a night as a guest of the local constabulary. It all got sorted out without any kind of conviction. And the person that filed the false complaint got 3 months deferred adjudication for filing a false report.
Being arrested is one thing. Being convicted of a crime is another.
But Swinestein knows that. She's just anti-freedom and anti-firearm.

They just gotta protect us from those evil guns.

Nope. She’s just protecting the thugs from the law-abiding citizens!
Did she buy up Al Capone’s wardrobe at an estate sale? And what is that she’s holding?
Booger-hook off the trigger, Toots!
If anyone needed a reminder on why we need to throw the Rats out of office in Nov, here it is. DiFi is human debris and can go to hell. She deserves to be put in the minority again.
Looks like an AK folder with a drum mag.
FEG AK-63E ?
I detest this freaky woman...
and I have so much sorrow for George Z, can you imagine having a ‘bill’ written with your name!
Just a damn sin IMHO.
It sure looks like a pretty blond wood Hungarian.
Weren’t the 63s wooden stocks? That might be an AMD 65 if it’s an underfolder.
Di looks ridden hard and put away wet then, and that was a few years ago.
true. Why didn’t they name it after trayvon (tm)?
Weren’t all those Dirty Harry movies, and at least half the Death Wish series set in California?
If nothing else, DiFi knows her own electorate.
Not to mention Di-Fi also has a concealed carry herself. She armed herself after a couple queers got into it, at city hall.
