FEINSTEIN INTRODUCES "ASSAULT WEAPONS" REAUTHORIZATION BILL (S.2498)
NRA-ILA ^ | 6/4/2004 | NRA

FEINSTEIN INTRODUCES "ASSAULT WEAPONS" REAUTHORIZATION BILL
NRA-ILA
June 4, 2004

Yesterday, vehemently anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)introduced S. 2498, legislation that would reauthorize the Clinton gun ban. The bill is being held on the Senate floor and could come up at any time.

This is the start of a sustained political battle we`ll be waging over the next few months. Our opponents will continue to work at every turn to try and accomplish their anti-gun goals, and we need to be prepared. Please visit NRA-ILA`s informative website-- www.ClintonGunBan.com --and learn the facts about this debate, which has too long been driven and dominated by falsehoods and emotion. And please forward this website to others who need to know both the history and the truth about this issue. Then, please contact your Senators and urge them to oppose S. 2498 or any other legislation seeking to extend the so-called "assault weapons" ban.

You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at http:/www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121.

Correction. That should read:

Yesterday, vehemently anti-gun for everyone except herself Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)introduced S. 2498, legislation that would reauthorize the Clinton gun ban. The bill is being held on the Senate floor and could come up at any time

There. Much better, and more accurate.

Drat, S. 2498 isn't in the Thomas database yet.

I'd love to read the language in this Bill as I have a sneaking suspicion that more weapons are included. And maybe caliber restrictions too.

An armed civilian population keeps America free and strong. Feinstein is a stone nut. Apparently she has nothing else to do, or doesn't have enough intelligence to fine something productive that will really help California. Enough said.

Absolutely she plans to 'strengthen' the AW ban. This time around they realize their past mistakes. They want semi-autos taken out, period.

I wish this bitch would just shut up and go away. Then again, I wish the Clintons would do the same.

Ms. Frankenstein, how many people in the United States are hurt by these "assault weapons"? I'd bet more people die from lightning strikes than get shot at by these EEEEEVILLLL "assault weapons."

After all, "assault weapons" are similar to SUVs; they run amuck all the time; killing women and children! /sarcasm

(I was thinking about posting this as a vanity thread on a new terrorist threat, but this is a good place for it.)

We are currently primed for bogus acts of "domestic terrorism," which have the ulterior purpose of causing the defeat of George Bush in the coming election. I am expecting a "Super Columbine" or an "assault rifle massacre" between now and the election.

George Soros has stated he will spend $100 million or more of his own money to defeat President Bush. Millions of dollars are now flowing to MoveOn.org and International ANSWER (a full-fledged communist front group) for the overt purpose of creating an anti-Bush media campaign, outside of current campaign contribution limits. Those millions would also pay for a wide range of black operations, beyond simply a media campaign.

(Soros is also a major financial backer of gun control groups all over the world, and one of his stated goals is the elimination of all private gun ownership. He is on the record saying that only official government military and police groups should have access to firearms. Global gun control is one of his top causes, along with the abolition of drug laws, and the creation of effective world government via an infinitely stronger United Nations.)

A natural black operation meant to defeat President Bush would be a "Super Columbine," intended to be blamed on free access to so-called "assault rifles" in the United States. It would be simple for MoveOn.org or ANSWER to in turn fund a range of unaccountable radical fringe groups with links to quazi-terrorist groups like ELF, the Ruckus Society etc. (The money for the huge street demonstrations we are now seeing in Rome and which we will see at the Presidential conventions is coming via MoveOn and ANSWER from Soros.)

IOW, these radical America-hating groups for the first time are swimming in cash, thanks to Soros. I see a real confluence of nefarious aims coming together. These radical fringe groups are ready to do anything to defeat Bush, and now they have the money to fund complex black operations using cut-outs and suitable patsies for insulation.

The odds are now quite high that a well-funded radical fringe group (using cut-outs and patsies) could go after Bush directly, with an assassination attempt. But it would be much easier to organize a "Super Columbine" to be blamed on free access to "assault rifles," which would naturally be blamed on Bush and the pro-gun Republicans. If this happened between the sunset of the so-called Assault Weapons Ban in September and the Presidential election, the immediate political consequences would be devastating for Bush and the Republicans. This type of operation must certainly be tempting some of the radical groups, which are for the first time are flush with cash, thanks to George Soros and others like him.

Don't be shocked if a "Super Columbine" or an "assault rifle massacre" happens between now and the election. That is basically the premise of my novel Enemies Foreign And Domestic, which is meant as a warning, and an admonition to dig deeper if a "deranged veteran" or another suitable patsy goes on a rampage with an "assault rifle" in the near future.

She's not dumb. She knows exactly what she is doing, what damage it does and who she is doing it to. Do not let their occasional blank stares of feinged incompetence fool you. they have a goal and this and it's results are it!

A scary scenario, sir, and one featured in your novel.

beyond the realm of possibility? I think not. Sad to say, the thing seems all too likely, to me. And I'm not some manchurain candidate type either.

in a certain sense, these folks have not so much created these gunmen as they have created the circumstances under which they must inevitably arise.

urban poverty, insufficient law and order, anarchy in the family, on the block, and in the city as a matter of policy, these things must produce the super=predators who will do these things.

The bastards who will do this will do it for the pure joy of the thing, and not from any political motives.

When is the Cali GOP going to actually challenge these types with a candidate who can win a statewide election?

Just sent this off ....

Hon. Sen. Judd Gregg
Hon. Sen. John Sununu

Greetings.

We would like to register our heartfelt and vigorous opposition to the renewal of the "Assault Weapons Ban" submitted by Sen. Diane Feinstein as S.2498.

Not only is this a frontal assault on the clearly numerated right of the People to keep and bear arms, it is difficult to understand what crime problem this is intended to address.

Furthermore, in the ten years since this law was passed, exactly what effect did it have on the crime or murder rate?

We believe the statistics show that it had NO effect.

We surmise that this is an attempt by the opposition party to embarass the Republican congressional majority and the President in an election year. After all, if they can frame this assault on the Second Amendment as a "Crime Bill", as they did ten years ago, it would be difficult to make a political case against them, especially with the news media doing all it can to assist any and all intrusive, big-government programs.

It never ceases to amaze us that the same people who can torture the Constitution to find a mother's "right" to kill a newborn infant, even as it is being born, in a manner not much different in pain or effect as the killing of Nicholas Berg, cannot see the plainly, clearly, unequivocally enumerated right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms in the Second Amendment to that document.

Yours most respectfully,

The one positive thing about Feinstein is that she is clearly and unambiguously the enemy.

This is little more than the usual grandstanding. DiFi introduced the bill to fire up her Party's Kool-Aid drinkers. Most other Democrats are running away from the gun issue. I would be shocked to see Kerry go out of his way to help her in this effort. A few polite attagirls, perhaps, but little else.

I wouldn't be surprised if patriots put a $100 million or more bounty on Soros' head. Maybe even get some D-10 and level his property down.

I wonder if Dippy Diane is going to outlaw Catipillar dozers too?

As I recall, Kerry made a special trip last time DiFi attempted this, to kill the lawsuit reform act. Count on him being there.

There are negotiations between "my people and their people" - to trade some of our leftist, elitest, America hating, liberty hating, busy body, Hollywood a$$kissing Jews for some of Israel's REAL Jews..

How in hell did we end up with the majority of the world's stupid Jews?

I can't believe there are Jews that wish to disarm the civilian population -- again..
That was Hitler's first step -- before picking up and destroying most of Europe's Jews..
Our stupid Jews must have forgotten..


Semper Fi
