Feinstein is an IQ waiting to happen. Has she ever read a book?
This ignorama thinks PTSD suddenly appeared with the Iraq War?
Lady, it was called “shell shock” in WW1, and “combat fatigue” in WW2.
Ronald Reagan said,”It’s not that our liberal friends are stupid; it’s just that they know so many things that aren’t true!”
I’m sorry Ronnie. Some of them are just plain stupid.
She’s either five pounds of stupid in a two pound sack, or she’s willfully spreading this kind of crap because her side believes and repeats it.
Another open letter to Dianne Feinstein
I was recently dismayed to learn of your perception of our Armed Forces veterans as unstable. This unfair characterization does our veterans a huge disservice. Such prejudice also shows your general lack of practical experience with your every-day constituent. After researching your background, I can understand how you came to have such unrealistic beliefs. But, funny thing, it works both ways…
You were a child of privilege. As you grew to adulthood you have attended some of America’s best learning institutions. Your family’s standing in San Francisco high society faired you well.
I wonder how you achieved your first job, at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office? How did you get your appointment, on the California Women’s Parole Board? How did you acquire your seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors? Were any strings pulled on your behalf?
Logically, it follows that you had unfair advantages over your peers. I wonder if you have a sense of entitlement? You know, most “Rich people” feel they deserve more than your “average Joe”. As a member of the “Rich Elite”, you probably feel this way. The majority of your finances are held in blind trusts. Very cunning, Mrs. Feinstein, very cunning.
I know that you are a conceal-carry permit holder. Yet many, many of your constituents are denied the same right. I bet you haven’t visited a firing range in the last ten years.
My bottom line here is this:
Perceptions are very powerful. I realize you received the biggest popular vote in 2012. However, given the recent changes in the political landscape, I doubt if you will be able to retain that claim.
I also believe you are ill-equipped to address gun violence in the United States. Sure, you have tons of statistics and anecdotal evidence you present. What you don’t have is experience serving in our military. You also have zero personal experience living in the areas most affected by violent crime.
As this debate progresses, I look forward to opposing your continued efforts against our Second Amendment rights.
Regards,
Ed Rogers, MSgt, USAF (Retired)
DiFi has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel
If this person is any indication of the government mentality at hand . We will do better to remove them by force ,than fall prey to their insanities any deeper than they have provided thus far . As well I whole heartedly believe that is why they have fixated upon the fabrications as spewed by their industrial news media “Propaganda machine ” in order to cry indignities such as the play of the “ASSAULT WEAPON used in the Sandy hook shooting . That in fact never was in the shooting /While voiding their oath of office as I am sure they will improvise with another coercion toward the people in order to vanquish the constitution all together //Unless certain portions may be misconstrued to place us “We the people “Into a further indebted bondage , than they have already allocated by way of wallowing corruption & corporate sponsored treason .
“What are you going to do if 10 Islamofascists grab a baby and one of them holds a knife to its jugular?” Easy, stab everyone of those terrorist in the face with your own 2.6 inch long fixed blade knife.
dont register your guns. the time is passed for us to think that there is a medium btw being ‘law abiding’ and constitutional. they dont have to remove the 2nd to destroy it. all they have to do is continue to create ‘common sense’ laws that further and further restrict our access until sucvh time as it is so hard to get a gun, and noplace you can carry it that the 2nd is useless. law abiding is another term for putting the chains on ourselves and refusing to use the key
The anto gun think tank that wrote the bill knew exactly what was in it. The rock stupid legislators that voted on it had no idea.
Unconstitutional laws are NOT laws.
I would like to know what polls she is referring to when she says that most people are in favor of the assault weapons ban.
Madam, first explain why your husband was one of the major military arms dealers world wide. Then, shut your pie hold on things that just make you look like an idiot. Additionally, it’s called an ARMALITE RIFLE, a designator kept by Colt when Armalite sold the manufacturing rights to them. Since that time other companies have adopted the “AR” portion to signify weapons that would be sold for DEFENSIVE purposes on or off a battlefield. SO, in short, your agenda is to disarm the American people, and is a direct offence and infringement against the 2nd Amendment. We have seen your ugly mug long enough, you are a disgrace, and you dishonor those buried at Arlington who fought and died for the Constitutional freedoms our forefathers also fought and died for. I challenge you, I DARE you, go stand one week watch with those men and women in Afghanistan. Then, go to high security prisons and ask those murderers if they need your stupidity to stop them! Then, ask us, WE THE PEOPLE, what our opinion is. You are on your own crusade, ignorance abound in your speeches, and you embarrass our country for even being voted into office. You do not even know how to handle a firearm. Lastly, firearms are TOOLS, they are not the issue, neither are law abiding citizens, and your attack IS AGAINST US. WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY.
The springs are metal, but you can very easily make them yourself or buy them from any number of vendors that are out there. The reason that Defense Distributed announces each project is to bring to light the fact that gun control, like slavery is a dead idea, it has no application in the digital age. You might be able to pass a law that makes it illegal to make a 30 round magazine or any number of other things, but the files of that information are protected under the 1A, much like manuals to make bombs are. One day 3-D printers will be sitting alongside 2-D printers in our houses, so it will be impossible to ban these items because you could very easily replace it. If you take a more in depth look at what 3-D printing is capable of and where it will be in 10-20 years, you can see that it is the end game for gun control.
The SRO at the high school my kids attended was a uniformed city police officer and had a patrol car parked out front. He was also the truancy officer who would go knocking on the doors of kids with attendance issues. And I think he was also a licensed counselor. So are we going to take one incident in one school involving one officer and condemn the entire program, a program that has been in effect in many schools for many years? Isn’t this an overreaction somewhere on the scale of Sandy Hook?
Anybody who’s actually had to shoot people knows that muzzle velocity is no indicator whatsoever of what happens when the round makes contact. High velocity 9mm will frequently perforate a suspect and pass through the body, leaving them dead but still mobile, sometimes not even realizing they have been shot.
What matters is knock down, and ballistics is not an exact science. You can compare figures all day long on paper but until you shoot someone you just don’t know. For real world situations where you need to actually stop someone from moving any further forward, there is no match for the .45 ACP, except maybe the .357 Mag or the .38 Super. These rounds tend to stop in the body and transfer their kinetic energy. It might not be a kill, but you will stop a man in his tracks.
Yeah, lets make fun of the biggest gun rights lobby in the USA, that’ll help us keep our gun rights. Is The Truth About Guns going to join as a sponsor of NRAwatch.org? Seems like this sight does more complaining about the NRA than helping
