And to quote Mr. Iverglas in the grandparent of this post: "Absent such substantiation, one might have to conclude that you were simply making/repeating a fabricated and quite ridiculous slur on a Democratic politician, for some reason."

So... given the reference in SFBG and Mr. Squatch's research above, do you still regard my statements as "fabricated" and a "quite ridiculous slur"? Even though it's documented now, is it still "ridiculous"? Just curious.

Hey, while we're on the subject of Feinstein and playing fast and loose with the truth, I will quote something from a letter I got from her:

"Semi-automatic assault weapons -- which fire up to 250 rounds of ammunition within seconds and without warning -- are weapons of war that do not belong on the streets of our communities"

Ummm... there aren't ANY guns that fire 250 rounds of ammunition within seconds that can be carried and fired by a person, Predator notwithstanding (it would not be possible for a person to carry and fire the type of minigun used in that movie). The only type of firearm which can fire 250 rounds of ammunition within seconds is a gattling chain gun (see http://world.guns.ru/machine/minigun-e.htm). There aren't any of these "on the streets of our communities", unless by "streets" Sen. Feinstein means "airspace" and "our communities" she means "Falujah" perhaps. Who knows. No one has ever used a minigun to commit a crime in the US, except possibly misuse by the armed forces personnel (such as a recent incident where a school was strafed by a fighter jet in New Jersey).

I'll end this post by making some statements that are generalizations and impressions, and I won't try to back these up with individual facts because it's hard to do. I think that most gun control laws are based on urban legends, Hollywood, hysteria, and bogus, made-up "facts" like Feinstein's "fact" above about "semi-automatic assault weapons". Sen. Feinstein just has no idea what she's talking about.

I love pictures of women with guns!
