Why is this person in office?
« on: July 27, 2005, 11:40:22 PM »
This is a very dangerous statement. Using the patriot act to pass you own agenda seems very destructive. What other freedoms could be next on her agenda?....Vehicles?

Statement by Senator Feinstein in Opposition
to NRA’s Gun Liability Bill


I am opposed to moving to this bill ahead of the Patriot Act and other important legislation. And if the Senate does move to this bill, I intend to offer at least one amendment, which would put dangerous and destructive .50 caliber military sniper rifles in the same category as weapons such as machine guns and sawed-off shotguns.

These extremely powerful sniper rifles are powerful enough to bring down airplanes and can fire a bullet a mile and penetrate a brick wall. They are for sale virtually anywhere, even at gun shows with no background checks. If this bill passes, these potential terrorist weapons would continue to be for sale with virtual blanket liability protection.”

In this situation it would be the majority of Kalifornia.  This socialist woman would be very happy if she banned every handgun from every home in America.

I don't really disagree with her about the uses of a .50 cal sniper rifle but I do disagree with any encroachment on the 2nd Amendment.

She knows it can penetrate armored cars, and this concerns her greatly.

"Dangerous."

Ooh scary.

Fact is she was *****in' about how the NRA gets its lobbyists to push through unprecedented protections at the expense of work on the Patriot Act.

Instead of worrying about her - why aren't you asking why this is happening?

I mean, freedom and all of that. Why do you hate America?

This practice has been used in congress for ages. Some American carton even made a song about it. Take a big bill and hide small bill….I do not recall proper name for it.

Yeah. This aint the same thing, but it's the same kind of...

17 billion in pork got doled out this year. Just crazy. There's these forms ya gotta fill out as to why you need the money. Then there's these consulting companies that have sprung up to help herd yer application to the right people. Then you get a boatload of money.

Give 10 or 20 grand to a senator who sits on ways and means, and get a couple million of tax payer's money for your trouble.

This NRA business is no different.

Fact is, she's a nanny state idiot who would happily take away any of our basic freedoms if she felt it could protect us from ourselves.  Sometimes, people are just blasted for being liberals on this board.  This is not one of those times.  This woman is an idiot, and I'm suprised she can muster the brain power to keep her lungs functioning, much less debate anything.

Fortunately though, if she managed to outlaw these horrific .50 cal harbingers of doom, there would be no way that a terrorist would EVAR get their hands on one!

It's what we're talking about.

Now if there's a problem with this chick, go ahead and post examples.

For sale everywhere to the tune of $5,000 - $15,000 each, not including cost of ammo. Tell ya what though, my local gun store didn't have any and thats saying something.

I've formed my opinion of her over quite a while, and from reading a lot of new stories over the years.  I'm not gonna go searching for 'em though, as it's not worth my time...even to convince the fine patrons of this here BBS.

As far as the Patriot Act is concerned, I wouldn't complain if they let it die and moved on to other things.  But, on that too, I'm not modivated enough at the moment to care and cite examples of what makes me feel that way.  So, take it or leave it. :)

I get it.

And I won't hold you accountable. :)

Too much gets passed off here as reality, though. Know what I mean?

I'm sorta sick of it.
