"I am quite familiar with firearms," Feinstein said. "I became mayor as a product of assassination

Gee, that was convenient. I wonder if it was checked out thoroughly.

"I became mayor as a product of assassination"..

True, but NOT by an "assault weapon", used by criminal, or private citizen.

The Mayor of San Francisco, Mosconi (sp?) and councilman Milk were murdered by fellow "councilman" Dan White, a former police officer with his duty pistol and revolver.

White later claimed at his murder trial, that an excess of "Twinkie's made him do it.

I don't think a campaign slogan of "BAN TWINKIES!" would do well in San Francisco. So CA banned AW's instead.
