Hey, they’ve gotta have someone who can sell high-powered firearms to Mexican drug cartels, amirite? You’ve heard about the 158 weapons you’ll no longer be able to use. But what about the exemptions?

"Not everyone will have to abide by Senator Dianne Feinstein’s gun control bill. If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials and others will be exempt."

“Mrs. Feinstein’s measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel,” the Washington Times reports.

Translation: Only government officials are smart and responsible enough to own guns, all others can not be trusted and are to be considered incompetent.

If anyone believe America is egalitarian, think again.
There is the government class and then everybody else.
The government class write laws to suit themselves, all others must obey.

This is not what America is supposed to be.

Semi-automatic rifles are safer than hammers according to crime stats, but you don’t see anybody proposing restrictions on the types of Stanley hammers you can buy.

Had a job in the desert where a framer took out a rattler with one of those, and an electrician got canned because he thought it was a good time shooting it at people. You gain a lot of respect for a nail gun when you see someone shoot a nail through their hand!

If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials and others will be exempt...All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others......

So if I work for the gov for a week ad “retire” then am I exempt? What if the local sheriff deputizes the entire population? This is going to have so many holes it will look like Swiss cheese.

That demRats might be terrified of their constituents should come as no surprise to anyone.

I propose an ammendment to the US Constitution to the effect that “Congress shall pass no law which exempts members of Congress or members of the Administration from any stipulations in the law to which citizens are subject.”
That’s the concept; I’m sure someone in the legal field could clean it up.

Now they are saying it "exempts" 2,200 types of weapons. The original stated it "protected" our rights to over 2,200. They continue the diversions to lull us...STAY AWAKE!!!
