		<description>RE: No she&#039;s a senator gov officials don&#039;t need a special permit. So she carries obviously as she has in the past prior to being a senator. She doesn&#039;t appose a ban on CCW she&#039;s just got issues understanding what an assault rifle is. Which to me shows she&#039;s probably assuming other things for many other things she knows nothing about. There&#039;s bigger issues to deal with like illegal gun possessors not legal gun owners.

Does Feinstein still have a concealed carry permit? I hear those are almost impossible to get in California, but she got one somehow. Gun control advocates make sure they’re covered, but screw the little people.</description>

		<description>How appropriate, The almighty liberal left wing Senator from California touting gun control.  Ms Fienstein speaks out of both sides of her mouth which is typical of all politicians.  The politicians want to have everyone under their thumb and it&#039;s a do as I say, not as I do, but what Ms Fienstein WON&#039;T tell you is she is licensed for concealed carry in the State of California and has been for a very long time.  So she can carry a gun but on the other hand her view is that the guns need to be taken from everyone else.  When are the people across this great country going to take a stand and get rid of these life long career politicians</description>

		<description>Most US Senators have become remarkably inept in performing their elected duties.  A recent example is their lack of protecting the US Constitution and America&#039;s Bill of Rights from changes sought by hostile nations such as Iran, to take away firearms from US citizens.  The United Nations proposes to negate the Second Amendment of the United States so all firearms are confiscated from Americans.  This UN-led confiscation of American firearms is supported by moronic Senators like Harry Reid and Dick Durbin, who have clearly demonstrated their commitment to over-throwing the United States by whatever means available.  The UN firearms confiscation of American guns is just one of their instruments of anarchy.  And it is happening now, with little, if any, news in the liberal American media.
 
Reid has failed every year in performing his most basic Senatorial duties. Reid has failed to pass a budget for the past three years because he is grossly incompetent; he can barely balance his own checkbook, let alone the nation&#039;s budget. But when opportunities to overthrow our Constitutional rights are proposed, Reid always supports those measures to remove American liberties that built this nation.  What&#039;s more remarkable is the morons in Nevada who keep sending him back to the Capitol to prove how they too are against the United States of America and its citizens.  Nevadan Democrats are truly terrorists and anarchists who support Iran, Syria, and the drug cartels of Afghanistan and South America.
  
Durbin, part of Reid&#039;s traitorous Senatorial force to overthrow the United States Constitution, supports Chicago gun control laws, noted as the toughest in the nation.  It just so happens that Chicago is also the murder capital of the world, proving that strict gun control favors criminals and increases crime against innocent citizens.  An unpublished study by Irish historian Thomas P. Keating identified similar outcomes when gun controls were implemented in European countries that he traced back to Hitler and Mussolini.  Like Nevada, Illinois Democrats have chosen Senators and Congressmen who are committed to topple the United States of America, its Constitution and the freedoms, liberties and prosperity of every citizen in this nation.  UN-led gun control is another instrument that will enable their treacherous objective.
       
An appropriate response from the US Senate is to immediately cease giving American taxpayer dollars to the UN so our enemies can terminate the Constitutional rights of American Citizens.  The Senators who support this measure are clearly American patriots with the pride and fortitude to represent America and its Citizens.  Those US Senators who fail to cut funding to the UN should be tried for treason against the United States, for they are clearly supporting a hostile overthrow of the American government by conspiring with enemies to defile our Constitution and our inalienable rights.
    
An appropriate response from American patriots is to hold immediate recall elections in Nevada and Illinois to replace the lecherous traitors, Reid and Durbin before they are able to support their comrades in the United Nations, which includes Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Syria and Vietnam - - and we all know how those countries will honor the UN treaty to ban firearms so their citizens can be protected from criminals and terrorists.  Reid and Durbin are devoted to changing America into a third world nation where revolutionaries slaughter innocent citizens every hour of every day.  It is remarkable how ignorant Democratic voters have become to believe the lies of these Senators and a President that has redefined the meaning of failure by claiming that hard-working Americans are not the reason America became the greatest nation; it was someone else. Go vote!</description>

		<description>Arizona (and Colorado&#039;s) violent crime rates have plummeted since Concealed Carry laws softened. Sticking people up there is just too high risk. Conversely after Australia banned guns, armed robberies went up 300%. Despite the repeal of Feinsteins &quot;Assault Weapons Ban&quot;, gun related violence is down 50% in the past 20 years in America. With 2-300,000,000 firearms in this country, dangerous criminals will always get their hands on guns. Gun free zones like that theater in Aurora, the Virginia Tech campus and Los Angeles County will continue to be a haven for predators. Until criminals can&#039;t tell the lions from the lambs, law abiding citizens in America won&#039;t be truly safe. Side note, the massacre that took the lives of 77 innocent people in Norway was a place with some of the strictest gun laws in the world.

&quot;Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.&quot; - Thomas Jefferson.</description>

		<description>“There has been no action because there is no outrage out there, people haven’t rallied forward.”

And, you don&#039;t think that&#039;s a HINT?

You have lost, Feinstein. You and Schumer and McCarthy and all of the statist anti-Ssecond Amendment conspiracy.

Lost. Got it?

		<description>We need to adjust our gun control laws.  At last year’s Tulsa Gun Show I found a great deal on a matched pair of .44 Colt conversion reproductions.  (converted from .44 black powder to .45 Colt cartridge)  Since I live in Arkansas the dealer couldn’t sell them to me and I couldn’t buy them.   I can buy  a handgun 300 miles away at West Memphis but I can’t buy one across the state line 10 miles away.   Someone explain that logic.  

It’s like most gun control laws, instituted either by knee jerk panic or as a stepping stone to a total gun ban.</description>

		<description>Feinstein and Obama are holding gun control until after the election when Obama will have, as he told Pres. Medvedev “more flexibility”.  Translation:  Won’t have to worry about the needs and desires of American citizens.   He’ll only have to listen to elitists like Feinstein and super elite Soros.   

They know that Americans really do hold to our Bibles and our guns.   The difference is that most Americans don’t pick up a Bible very often and I’ve never been forced to use one for self-defense unless you count blocking Nancy’s paper ball in the 5th grade.   Those who have needed more defense than that will not be disarmed.  Period.  

Short version:  Obama will wait until after the election to bypass Congress and institute strict gun control or gun ban.  If Romney has more than two operational brain cells he’ll push the gun control issue as hard as he can</description>

		<description>Translation of Dianne: &#039;We know we&#039;ll lose our asses if we even attempt to pass gun legislation this close to the election. But after the election, any stealth gun-controllers who manage to fool the public and get re-elected will have some &quot;breathing-room&quot; for &quot;flexibility&quot; to try and implement our unpopular gun-control agenda.&#039;</description>
