Sen. Feinstein: Lax gun control is real ‘problem’ with Fast and Furious
Published: 2:24 PM 11/01/2011 | Updated: 2:27 PM 11/01/2011
Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that lax gun control laws, not Obama administration malfeasance within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF), was the real problem uncovered by Operation Fast and Furious.
My concern, Mr. Chairman, is there’s been a lot said about Fast and Furious, and perhaps mistakes were made, but I think this hunt for blame doesn’t really speak about the problem,” Feinstein said during the Tuesday hearing. “And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico. So, the question really becomes, what do we do about this?”

What a moron.
Truth be told, the first thing I thought after reading that was:
I can't believe there are people in this country who are paid (and paid pretty well) to turn their opinions into laws, and I'm not one of them.

And the problem is, anybody can walk in and buy anything, .50-caliber weapons, sniper weapons, buy them in large amounts, and send them down to Mexico.
Sure.. anyone who gets $71,000 from the FBI to buy weapons and then gets the same FBI to scrub the names of their buyers from the prohibited persons list on NICS can walk right in and buy $71,000 worth of firearms and send them to Mexico. Provided of course that the ATF leans on the FFL to continue making the sales after the FFL reported them to the agency that was SUPPOSED to prevent such mayhem.
So clearly, it is a problem that can only be solved by regulating such weapons out of the hands of normal, law-abiding citizens. The only other way I can see to do it would be to stop subsidizing drug cartel's purchase of firearms and then greasing the skids to avoid the regulations that block such a purchase, and clearly that is just a crazy idea.

Yes, we do need more gun laws. These new laws ought to make it a felony for federal agents to be reckless with guns under their control during sting operations and other investigations, and also make the agents culpable if persons are harmed as a result of those weapons falling into the wrong hands.

she probably didn't, but she's hoping everyone else did.
Sadly, she's probably smarter than she looks, hoping that we the people are dumber than a box of hair and accept her lies as gospel truth in shining adoration. Sadly, as shown by her lengthy tenure, some cali voters are so inclined.
Idiots like Feinstein know the dirty details of F&F, know who broke what laws, but they don't care one iota as long as they can spin it to further their agenda.
On another note, people often say vote with your feet and leave. how many people should vote with their feet and move to CA and get a gun toting majoirty in the polls and vote these clowns out?

WOW...this is the opposite of what many people are saying about our society in general today. But, then again people like Fienstein are the ones shaping that cultrure these days. People like Fienstein want to blame obesity on fast food restaurants. The sane people of America put the blame where it belongs, the individuals who over indulge.
So now when we are trying to place the blame where it should go, Fienstein comes out and blames society again.
I wish I could vote Fienstein and Pelosi out, but since I live in Virginia and happily not in California, I have no control over that, even though their actions affect the entire country.
EXACTLY!! Our founders never meant for these idiots to be career lifetime members of congress!
Almost every problem we have with government could be solved by term limits.
Unfortunately some of them did. Some of them believed the mere people were too ignorant to be trusted in electing officials. They believed in a "ruling elite". It took men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison to change that. Unfortunately I see people like Fienstein and Pelosi as those who think the mere people are too ignorant to know what is good for them.

I agree. Term limits for all, or else they need 75% of the vote to stay past the limit. But they would have to vote to do this to themselves, and since this government is about big business and cronyism, I don't see it happening without it being forced on them. Ratifying it as a Constitutional Amendment would be the only way, state by state.
As much as I hated Bush, I voted for that creep for the re-election simply because I will never forget the picture of Feinstein, Kerry, and Kennedy, truly lockstep and arm in arm, smiling and laughing after they got the ban enacted.
Truly disgusting people.

And isn't this exactly the kind of thinking that got us OF&F ?
Feinstein's mantra is simply the VPC's garbage; regurgitated ! What, IMNSHO, the OA is trying desperately to conceal, is a "high level program" to put significant numbers of its highlighted "military pattern weapons" into the hands of "drug cartels/street dealers" in order to support its demands for more "gun control" ! >MW

A good reason why the Constitution was written to have the Senators picked, not voted into office. I need to look up if the people in the Senate stayed in for so long before the amendment that brought the Higher House of the Congress down to the level of the House of Representatives.
Worst part is they get the same pay for life in or out of office.

People like Feinstein are not an anomaly. Useful Idiots (the term is relevant; look it up) put her there and continue to re-elect people like her.
People like her can divert the conversation endlessly, and that it their goal.
Until we wake up and pay attention, we will continue to get what we deserve.

Actually the problems is corrupt, malfeaseant, and subversive politicians, including Comrade Feinstein, that are so accustomed to lying that they can't separate fact from their own lies any more.

I don't agree with blanket term limits. I think it is a lazy solution for a lazy voting population.
Our voting population is lazy, people rarely take the time to even research who is on the ballot.
Everyone knows the president, governor, etc on the ballot after being bombarded with a campaign for the top spot, but they are a small portion of your typical ballot.
That would be bad enough.
Yet many people still fill in a bubble for the other spots, casting a vote for some random person that may make the best person for the job less likely to win.
The population likes to complain endlessly, yet won't even invest a few nights or hours of their time a year to briefly research everyone up for election that will be deciding how their money and taxes are to be used (or even what freedoms they will have.)
And often times the local politicians that cover a typical ballot have a bigger impact on life than the president or governor everyone knows about.
For example since it is a gun board, the judge you appear before, the DA that chooses to pursue charges and how, if you are involved in a self defense scenario these local elected positions can have a bigger impact on the rest of your life than the president of the country.
Yet people are lucky to even know the little paragraph written about them in the voter's information packet.
The population is lazy, and term limits don't fix that.
In fact term limits punish some of the few good ones by forcing them out of office no matter how good of a job they do.
Term limits also make politicians more aware of their elected position as just a stepping stone in their career. This means they are more concerned with what their next job will be, and pleasing the right people to get a good job after. This can make them less reliable, more open to corruption, and more focused on making contacts that will help them after they leave power than on doing a good job for the people while they are in power.
