The National Rifle Association and gun manufacturers are to blame for the “disconnect” between the broad public support for gun control and the reluctance in Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein said Wednesday.
Feinstein claimed the “NRA has intimidated senators with threats that the gun lobby would spend heavily to unseat them if they support” her gun ban. She summarized:
A fear has set in that if they vote for the bill they won’t be re-elected. It’s that plain, it’s that simple.
Once again, pro-gun control advocates claim “money equals influence” and is the only reason their proposals aren’t enacted.
Do recent campaign-finance disclosures support her claim?
In Diane Feinstein's eyes, when a billionaire donates a single $24 million chunk of cash to kill the 2nd Amendment, that's democracy in action. When millions of voters, each donating $5 here and $10 there raise $24 million dollars in defense of the 2nd Amendment, that's a "disconnect" between the will of the people and government.
Democrats wouldn't know democracy if it reared up and bit them on the behind.

It really makes you think real hard about the people that would vote for someone like that woman. How could we have put so many people like that in positions of representation? Every day I'm amazed by what I hear from these idiots. I guess there are so many people that don't care to be involved in politics, so they just vote for anybody willing to be involved. Lord Help Us.
Think of all the tax money that would be saved if we didn't persist in these stupid elections. It costs a fortune and more besides to wake the dead Democrats to go vote, and pay all those drunks to make sure they get in line at the polls.
What's worse, every once in awhile, they mess up and vote for the wrong guys!
It's all Bush's fault.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

I wrote a corespondent just this week, that I did not vote for a single elected official presently in office, with the single possible exception of an obscure city councilman or something whose name I have forgotten.
Remember when George Gobel said he felt like the world was a tuxedo, and he was a pair of brown shoes?

I lament the existence of Diane Feinstein on a regular basis.

I am happy about one vote I cast...for Senator Ted Cruz! But, I understand your situation, and I'm sure that ain't a good feeling.

Sorry to hear you are unrepresented. Not to brag, but all the folks I voted for minus POUTUS represent me, well, him and maybe an obscure ISD board member.
JAllen, when are you moving out of that heckhole? I'll buy you a Lone Star beer.

But they're not black. They have to be black to be "assault" pressure cookers. How many catalogs did she search through to pick out the most dangerous ones?

I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.
