Gregman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well, for me its clear that she is trying the same blitz tactic as Gov. Coumo did in NY to push his anti- gun bill through the state legislation in only 3 days. Looks like some gun grabbing Dems. are getting heebie jeebies after gun right groups have recently started their nationwide movement to strike back Obamas gun hating agenda. I'm really interested to see how the majority in the US-Senate will react to her proposal.

Gregman Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Feinstein vs. kid http://olegvolk.net/...ld-kid.jpg.html Haha... reminds me of the bright DEA- Agent, who practically presented young children the awareness of personal gun safety (starting at 0:50). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmRN00KbCr8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuergenG Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yeah, saw that at the forum on the other side of the pond this morning. There's still no link to be found for the actual bill. I'm quite sure, there are some more shenanigans in the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuergenG Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now things are getting in motion: A Senate panel has approved Feinstein's crap 10:8 along party lines and it seems to head to the Senate floor. http://news.yahoo.co...--politics.html A Senate committee approved an assault weapons ban Thursday on a party-line vote that signaled how difficult it will be for the proposal to survive in the full Senate. The Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill on a 10-8 vote after rejecting a series of Republican amendments aimed at exempting victims of sexual abuse, people living along the Southwest border and others from the prohibition. The GOP proposals were also defeated along party lines. Thursday's debate included a fiery clash between Feinstein, D-Calif., the ban's author, and outspoken freshman conservative Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Cruz said Feinstein's bill would create exceptions to the Second Amendment and asked her if she would favor exemptions to the First Amendment's freedom of speech by denying that right to certain books. "I'm not a sixth-grader," said a visibly upset Feinstein. She described her decades in Congress involved in gun control debates and said, "I'm reasonably well-educated, and thank you for the lecture." Ted Cruz seems to be a rising star within the ranks of the GOP. It's really refreshing to hear him tearing apart the gun grabbers' drivel. I hope, that Feinstein will drown in tears once the Senate doesn't vote for her bill; too many D-s fearing about not being re-elected in the mid-terms next year. 2nd ETA: Sen. Cruz' opening remarks. Must watch! ETA: Video of Cruz' exchange with Feinstein. Hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuergenG Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hasta La Vista (Federal) Assault Weapons Ban After a meeting yesterday with Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Dianne Feinstein learned that her controversial assault weapons ban mess will not be part of the gun control bill package heading to the senate floor next month. http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2013/03/19/Hasta-La-Vista-Assault-Weapon-Ban Unfortunately, the bills introduced or enacted in several States are still on the table and will generate a livelihood for lawyers for years to come.

JuergenG Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 The Washington Times' take of it http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/19/reid-shoots-down-feinstein-gun-ban-bill/ Sen. Dianne Feinstein emerged from a closed-door meeting with Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday — but her ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines didn’t. Mr. Reid is also likely looking at the 2014 elections, when several Democratic Senate seats are open for contest in conservative states, analysts say. Reid won his seat in Nevada only by a narrow margin and may have realized, that the D's may well lose it in the midterm elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this recent development. On the one hand, its good to see these two federal bans off the table . On the other hand, many hidden anti gunners will now have enough time, to fool the public with phony pro gun behavior until its time for their next flip-flopping gun ban approach. Bottom line: The more liberal pro gun voters can easyly forget, what D-Reps. like Mir Reid would have done, if they could. So they likely re-elected them, instead of choosing a more honest pro gunner (which doesn't automatically have to be GOP-Member, to be fair).
