Sen. Feinstein Makes Wild Claim to Push Gun Control at Senate Committee Hearing

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun control Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) shot down a proposed amendment to her “assault weapons” ban that would exempt military veterans from the gun ban. She also made some questionable claims.

Pushing a ban on high-capacity magazines, Feinstein argued that it is “legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.”

Here’s her dubious rationale:

“The time has come, America, to step up and ban these weapons. The other very important part of this bill is to ban large capacity ammunition feeding devices, those that hold more than 10 rounds. We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines. Limiting magazine capacity is critical because it is when a criminal, a drug dealer, a deranged individual has to pause to change magazines and reload that the police or brave bystanders have the opportunity to take that individual down.”

Why would even 10 rounds be acceptable in the hands of a deranged individual?

OMG! Let's just have this menace to society declared a talking vegetable and move on from there.

Typical left wing crap.

My other favorite is, "These 'great men' said that African Americans were only 3/5ths of a person." No, you moron, those great men said that 3/5ths of the slave population would count for apportionment.

This broad, like her fellow Liberal comrades, is constantly waxing hyperbolic. They feel the need to create hysteria where there is none and cite facts of their own contrivance to support their otherwise unsupportable positions. These people are dolts, my friends. Dolts in the purest form.

The sad thing is that the lemmings buy into it. Never have I seen a class of people speak in such nonsensical terms and have people accept it as gospel. They literally make crap up and expect everyone to accept it as the unmitigated truth. Look at the sequestration. In the weeks leading up to it, all we heard is that the entire country was going to sink into the Atlantic if it were allowed to come to pass and when the time came and everything was still running smoothly, the left decides to manufacture crap to make it look like it's a disaster.

Feinstein and Pelosi are becoming the poster children for senility. It is scary that people who think like this get elected and re-elected to office. No wonder our government is so screwed up.

That's the idea behind the Cloward-Piven strategy, to make things so bad that the system fails and people demand anything, even socialism, as a remedy. That's why anarchists are mostly found on the left. Anarchist chaos creates demands for order,
