The following comments were made by U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) during U.S. Senate hearings on terrorism held in Washington, D.C. on April 27, 1995:hdwrlover said:iBear,
Commiefornia is run by politicians who would abolish the 2nd Amendment in a second - if they could. After the 2nd Amendment rights go, then other rights would follow.
Anyway, since the present federal government would stop them from doing this, they constantly work on new laws to weaken the 2nd Amendment and make it more costly for citizens to buy and own guns. Several years ago they passed a law under the guise of controlling unsafe "Saturday night specials"s without really defining what those guns really are. Under this law all handgun models that would be sold as new(no previous owner) have to undergo testing in one of several approved independent testing labs to make sure that they were not unsafe. For example the Ruger Redhawk has been around a long time before this law was passed but each variation of Redhawk has to pass the test. What is a variation? Well the Communists say if it has a different barrel length, a different metal(SS, chrome moly, scandium, aluminum, titanium, etc.), different cylinder capacity, etc. etc. it is a different variation and must be tested separately. Of course this must be paid for by the manufacturer who must pass this cost along to maintain a decent profit margin. Furthermore, the test on a model variation is only good for a limited time(year or two I believe) so the manufacturer must have that model retested periodically - just like car registration.
Needless to say this process is expensive and many makes and models are not approved in Commiefornia because the manufacturers cannot afford to test models they deem will not have sufficient sales volume.
Furthermore, guess what? Law enforcement guns do not have to pass this Saturday night special safety law. Go figure. They told the public that "unsafe" guns should not be sold, but then said law enforcement is exempted. LIE, LIE, LIE, HYPOCRITES, HYPOCRITES, HYPOCRITES!
"Because less than twenty years ago I was the target of a terrorist group. It was the New World Liberation Front. They blew up power stations and put a bomb at my home when my husband was dying of cancer. And the bomb didn't detonate. ... I was very lucky. But, I thought of what might have happened. Later the same group shot out all the windows of my home."
"And, I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I'd walk to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me."-- U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein
And You Thought She Was Just San Francisco's Problem!
As San Francisco's mayor, she was vehemently anti-gun and drew the wrath of many honest citizens.
She demonstrated enormous hypocrisy when it was revealed that she possessed the ONLY concealed firearm permit in the city of San Francisco.
Can you say "Elitist"?
