Dianne Feinstein Introduces .50 ban in U.S. Senate
http://www.fcspi.org/news-feinstein2003ban.htm ^

Posted on 04/30/2003 9:29:47 PM PDT by 2nd_Amendment_Defender

Senator Dianne Feinstein has once again introduced a Senate bill that would essentially ban 50 caliber rifles, similar to federal bans on machine guns.

Feinstein is joined by the usual cast of gun banners, including Schumer (D-NY), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Kennedy (D-MA), Corzine (D-NJ), Durbin (D-IL) and Levin (D-MI).

Feinstein's efforts seeks to scare the public with all manner of exaggerations about the rifles, including the suggestion that the guns can hit targets from 4 miles away.

Feinstein's press release announcing the bill failed to mention that these rifles have been around for nearly 20 years and have never once been used to kill a single person in the U.S. Instead, she attempts to demonize and create fear in the minds of those unfamiliar with our firearms and 50 caliber target shooting, to further her agenda of banning guns.

As credible threats to public safety, .50 caliber rifles rank tied with Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and the Easter Bunny, all of which are tied to 0 fatalities in the U.S.

Fifty Caliber Shooters' Policy Institute will continue to aggressively oppose Senator Feinstein's attempts to demonize and ban .50 caliber rifles.

Senator Feinstein is one of only 8 people in San Francisco with a concealed carry permit. She packs heat at all times.

Of course, she is a member of the elite. Her husband gets awarded nine-figure contracts by the Department of the Army.

This law is for US who are less privileged -- you know, the hoi polloi.

Thus, it is no longer a matter of rights, but of privileges (which are, of course, nowhere enshrined in the Bill of Rights).

If I write one more angry letter to Dasshole, he'll finally be able to paper his entire office. Oh well, if it didn't happen this week, it would have next.

I'd love to see a comparison done between calibered weapons and automobiles, by make/model/manufacturer.

Can you imagine how an elected official would dance in trying to explain that although more people have died at the hands of someone using a Ford than a Browning, we should still ban the Browning?

Feinstein should be banned at the next election. She's a person of small caliber, yet spits out communist rhetoric at a rate far exceeding the most advanced automatic weapon known to man.

There is really only one answer to this, but how many Americans are really willing to take the steps necessary?

The president we voted into office will betray us if he gets the opportunity. The senate has all but declared unlimited warfare on the RKBA and private citizens, while the constitution has been under constant siege for years now.

Just how much more is going to be needed before we have taken all that we can stand? Where will you draw the line? This creeping enslavement has been underway for a long time, but most people refuse to see it. When will you open your eyes and see the subtle, invisible chains that have ensnared you?

Free men are quick to see insult when it is offered and quicker to reply. Our reply has been held in abeyance for many long years, have we forgotten who we are? Have we lost sight of the faces of our forefathers?

I fear our chance to hold the line against the darkness is being lost and all we can do now is fight a holding action against the inevitable enslavement of the Land of the Free. Soon it will be too late to do anything but bow our heads and expose our necks to the headmans axe.

What a MFA (PARDON MY FRENCH) Bitch. This pisses me off! I guess it's time to write another useless letter filled with facts telling her (in the most polite way) what a bunch of bovine scat she and her worthless piece of crap bill is worth. I gotta move outa this commie dog crap state. Well, actually I love the state, it's just the idiots who live here that make me want to puke. I need to pull up roots and move to freek'in Idaho, or Wyoming, or Alaska. ****!
