As expected, Diane Feinstein’s federal assault weapons ban bill – the one that she assures Americans won’t take “any weapons away from anybody” – passed out of the Senate judiciary committee today on a 10-8 party line vote. From there it goes to the full Senate for consideration, where it will need 60 votes to pass. DiFi seems to have no illusions about the bill’s ultimate chances of being signed into law. foxnews.com reports that “She knows ‘the road is uphill’ for the legislation, but sought to press her colleagues to consider the bill. ‘Are we going to stand with the thousands of police chiefs and law enforcement officers who do support this bill? Are we going to stand with the victims of gun violence?'” Were those rhetorical questions?
I’d like a detailed list of his security details firearms, and a justification for same as well. Then we can “have a discussion”.
Four legs good, two legs better!
Simply disgusting…I can’t wait to read that this bill finally died.
It was interesting that only one of the confiscated guns was registered to the woman who had spent two days in the mental hospital. The other two confiscated guns were registered to her husband who would still be a legal firearms owner. BUT, “The prohibited person can’t have access to a firearm,” regardless of who the registered owner is, said Michelle Gregory, a spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office.
I reckon being shot in the head could change one’s perspective on guns, but it’s really no different than hating your Honda for something that happened with it.
Gabby’s been through a lot, and her disingenuous husband ain’t helping much.
By the way, Nancy: You do lock up your guns, right?
Now that’s an incendiary image!!
Having been shot at, I still don’t hate guns I just don’t hunt at state game lands anymore. Granted I do understand the sentiment after hitting your thumb with a hammer you might tend to flinch on the next swing.
She is the ultimate victim now.
What happened to her is disgraceful. While no fan of hers, I believe ineffective politicians should be voted out of office. Not assassinated by anarcho-loons.
What her own party is doing to her is disgraceful. She has been through enough. Trotting her out to push their agenda when she is obviously having so much difficulty recovering is just disgusting.
If this were the Republicans doing this to one of her own the cries of “Have you no decency?!” would be seen in every editorial board and talking head in the country.
right, but we already know the democraps have no decency, so big whoop.
I can crack any of the current non biometric gunvaults that have the ability to be plugged in with a PVC pipe and micro fiber cloth unless it is permanently mounted against a static ground. The company initially was going to fix it, and I think they thought they had a solution, but I cracked the demos they sent me the same way. I haven’t heard anything for a long time. I wonder if this safe is any better. You can look up my user name on youtube for the videos.
While I don’t trust the non biometric models (unless they are bolted against a static ground – metal, stone, or drywall all seem to work), I do like the biometric models well enough and I disagree with the quality claims. I tried several lower and similar priced alternatives and found them to be just horrible. I would rate gunvaults as being several times better at stopping a smash and grab than similar or lower priced alternatives, and far better in terms of accessibility.
Also, for the biometric models, the trick to getting good reliability out of the opening is to record your finger print several times with different biases. Made a difference for me at least.
So for those of us without face recognition technology, can someone tell us who this is?
Giffords, the second biggest hypocrite on the anti-civil rights side of the fence.
Can you say TYRANTICLE GOVERNMENT?
And displaying proper trigger finger safety? Dare I say it looks like this wasn’t her first trip to the range?
I think I can safely say that none of us would mind that she owned an AR or an AK prior to the shooting, PROVIDED she actually stood up for the rest of our rights to own the same guns.
Having worked with mentally disabled individuals as well as victims of traumatic brain injury, I strongly suspect she is being manipulated by her husband and agents of the Democratic party for the gun-control agenda. She doesn’t have either the physical or mental werewithal to defend herself anymore, and for all I know she may well even resent it. It’s just like when she read from that note on TV – what’s to say she had any input at all on it?
I also think we all agree equally strongly that anyone with political power and/or aspirations willing to advance a gun-control agenda while taking advantage of the RKBA and buying an AR, or even owning one for that matter, deserves every last bit of criticism and much more leveled their way.
Tom
The billed has advanced and that is all anyone should be concerned about and that is horrible and very concerning!
Beat the phones up and call your Senators and Reps and mandate that they Vote Against this Bill!!!
Sure, “more money.” You always have to force people to take a better deal under threat of arrest.
*Albany* gets most of its money to “redistribute” from downstate. Upstate would secede in a heartbeat, and let them keep their money with their meddling. The problem, of course, is losses & impositions from ill-fitting policies *don’t* show upon the balance sheets.
PA and Washington state work about the same way, sadly.
The only upside here is Cuomo-the-Younger has shown himself unequivocally to be a high-handed statist and unabashed progressive. I suspect that a (another, actually) move to build his “record” for his upcoming presidential run got too much general press. Everybody noticed vs. having just a talking point to present to his base with cameras banned from the room.
It’s amazing to me that this is generally the way that the Federal System works. Most of the blue states put more in than they take out yet they keep voting for reps who keep doing the same thing.
When I’ve pointed this out to individuals they are surprised and think it’s outrageous yet they keep on voting the same way.
Ideology over all ? I dunno.
I wonder if Accur81 was there?
Awesome analogy and analysis.
The real trouble is that the very thought that anti-gun efforts may be to blame for helping create the environment conducive to criminal activities & its inherent violence will never be acknowledged or accepted by the anti-gun crowd.
Given the data on police shootings, I think a serious case could be
made that LEOs are “too dangerous to possess (firearms)”.
Your piece is full of logic and reason, both of which
progressives are incapable of using. Love it.
Maybe if we all simultaneously look at MM’s picture (those of us who can manage that) and think cardiac-arresting thoughts….. It shouldn’t be that hard.
I shoot with my three too. Daughter number two loves shooting my Glock 19 and doing 3 gun competition. Great daddy daughter bonding time.
She is a good-looking woman…
The gun ain’t half-bad looking, either…
This is why I love the Interwebz…no matter what you post, where you post it, or how innocent you think it is, it’ll always come back to bite you in the ass.
So, if DIFI says the only way I can keep my ak is to pack it with fruit cake I’m good to go? WTF does this prove? And that ginger bread house. Now in addition to bring down planes JJ will say an ak can level a house with 1 30 round “clip”. Stop the madness. Stop shootin confectionery items!!!!
Bloody brilliant.
I have a question for you all that say this is your sovereign Second Amendment right that entitles you to any weapon and any magazine and any accessories you wish to have. Not the Government’s business.
Do you defend the rest of the Constitution and it’s Amendments just as voraciously?
How about the Fourth Amendment? How do you feel about just as staunchly defending the Government stay out of a woman’s right to choose as they do out of your gun cabinet?
I was thinking the same exact thing last week. The Ammo makers need to get on our side and limit ammo to govt agencies.
NYC police marksmanship is about the same as “spray and pray”, id be surprised if either of the police aimed down sight. You think they’d get off less shots with those apparent 12pd triggers they have.
