“I firmly believe the American Constitution is a living document intended to evolve as our country evolves.”—Dianne Feinstein

Meaning it’s not a Constitution at all. Did I mention we’re in dire need of Nuremberg-style treason trials?

There’s only one way to ban the Senate. And no one wants to go there. The Senators know this, which is why they can get away with middle-fingering Americans whenever they want.

Feinstein is years and years past her shelf life
and should be retired ASAP

besides, she and her hubby have soaked up plenty of taxpayer money already (as any online search of her name and her hubbie, named Blum, will demonstrate)

Dem RATS now know their control of Congress is still intact after they conned Trump into this $1,300,000,000,000 omnibus monstrosity, and they are poised to take down Trump with the help of Paul Rino and McTurtle. Take that to the bank. Never Trumpers have NEVER given up on their quest to remove this illegitimate President (in their mind). Taking guns would be a real feather in their cap and a slap at most of the Trump base.

She’s just trying to get back in the good graces of the democrat money machine that is funding her dem challenger.

As Far As I Know (AFAIK) cocaine is banned.
AFAIK prostitution is banned (in most places)
AFAIK Ganja is banned.
AFAIK illegal immigrants are banned.
AFAIK Murder is banned.
AFAIK Robbery is banned.

Yet, there is plenty of above going on if one does not care about the law. If assault weapons are banned, only rich and big criminals will be able to buy them on the black market.

What is an assault weapon can you shot someone with a .22 caliber revolver and not be charged with assault? Isn’t every weapon capable of being used in an assault? Can we pass a law that makes it a crime to say military “STLE” weapon?

That’s not how I remember it. What was banned was AR-15 rifles with certain scary characteristics—barrel threads for flash hiders, bayonet lugs and folding/adjustable stocks. Manufacturers quickly started making AR-15s without those features and they sold like hotcakes. New 30 round mags were also banned, but there were loads of pre-ban mags available.

I doubt if her original ban would have lowered the school’s body count at all. But give her credit—she learns. Now instead of banning features, she wants to ban virtually all semi autos. And since semi-autos can fire as fast as one can pull the trigger, should revolvers be banned as well? (Except for police and military, of course).

Did the Parkland shooter's rifle have a bayonet lug? Or a flash suppressor? That's about all that was banned by Feinstein's bill. She is too stupid to be in Congress and the Chronicle is either lying or shares her stupidity.

Our Second Amendment hangs by a thread and that thread is Donald Trump. Budgets simply don't matter right now. What matters is that the next two or three Supreme Court Justices need to understand the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That is why I voted for Trump and it should be enough for all of us right now.

The idea that Hillary could have been in a position to solidify a liberal Supreme Court for decades is unthinkable. The fight for the Supreme Court isn't over but we are winning. We must keep our eye on prize.

Tried this once and it didn’t work.

What’s next? Should we do the Prohibition thing again? That worked out swell, too.

Leftists are insane.

Clearly, we should ban trigger fingers.

No it wasn’t.

The assault weapon ban is still enforced in Massachusetts. Until our Attorney General went bad shit crazy, you could buy that rifle, made six miles from my house, in MA. I own one.

It has a 10 round magazine, a fixed stock, and no flash suppressor (because those three things make a difference in how they work(?))

Oh yeah, it has a pistol grip.

The “assault weapons ban” was stupid.
