Senate committee approves assault weapons ban - latimes.com

WASHINGTON — A federal ban on assault weapons cleared a Democratic-run Senate committee Thursday in a party-line vote after its chief sponsor, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) clashed with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) over the 2nd Amendment.
“I’ve looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons,” Feinstein snapped at Cruz after he questioned her on the Constitution. “It’s fine if you want to lecture me on the Constitution. Just know that I’ve been here for a long time,” citing her 20 years on the Judiciary Committee.
Although the 10-8 vote advanced the bill to the full Senate, the hard work now begins for Feinstein, who wrote the 1994 law only to see it expire in 2004.
Not only did every one of the Judiciary Committee’s Republicans vote against the bill, but Feinstein has struggled to line up support among rural-state Democrats, some of whom are up for reelection next year. “The road is uphill. I fully understand it,” said Feinstein, who recently called the assault weapons ban a “life’s mission for me.”

I was impressed by Cruz. They never did answer is question.

Wow, just wow! A Jew who wants to disarm not only her people, but the rest of the United States.

Some people never learn that history tends to repeat itself.

If this was a standard court room her case would be thrown out because she cant answer a freaking question. it takes how many people to come to her rescue in an attempt to avoid the question. and how the heck is any ammendment not a guarentee?! so your freedoms are only valid when someone wants them to be?

Sen Cruz! Her defense was that she's been there a long time. If she's been there so long, why hasn't she "fixed" the problems?

Because she is the "cause" of the problems.

Probably for similar reasons why Piers Morgan won't move back to the UK. She's too fuckin' stupid/ignorant/stubborn to realize that she's part of the problem, and still thinks she can "fix" things.

To her and her ilk the United States is not the Greatest Nation on Earth, it is a social experiment that she wants her fingerprints on no matter what damage she has to do to put them there.

Canada: Public Healthcare, Anti-gun, hippies, high taxation....it's like a dream world for her!

I find it interesting that she thinks these guns should be banned because she's "examined bodies that have been shot with these weapons"...while guys who themselves have BEEN shot by, and shot AT by actual military weapons don't tend to line up behind the gun ban. My dad was shot five times with an M1 Garand (long story) and he's not clamoring for ANYTHING to be banned.

What she's really saying is that she claims the right to think for the mere peasants who should do as she says.

I think in Feinstein's mind she's the real victim, because she had to go through the horrible experience of seeing the aftermath of these shootings instead of being the persons who were killed by them. Leftist hippie thinking at its finest.

Is there any way she can get forced into PTSD treatment, I bet she's had it since the gay Milk guy got shot.

Cruz really dropped the ball, though. When it started snarling about the Heller Ruling, he should have responded with the Miller ruling, that mentioned weapons of the type used in military service.

Most people who seek extreme power and control over others often were once in a circumstance whether short or long-term where they didn't have power or control.
