She's unhappy because she didn't get to hold a 'debate' that would be one-sided in her favor?Rather than having a debate that focuses on gun violence, the POTUS and his minions are focused on gun control as the only ”solution”.
Feinstein had this to say about the committee meeting today:
“The California Democrat on Tuesday said she will hold her own hearing on gun control because she was unhappy that three of the five witnesses testifying Wednesday are "skewed against us." Feinstein is a member of the Judiciary Committee.”
Im watching them discuss the background check. It baffles me how they claim they want more extensive background checks to catch ineligible buyers yet dismissed LaPierre's comment that illegal gun buyers don't make their purchase at an FFL, LGS, or gun show. They make their purchase on the street or steal them where they circumvent the already in-place process that would catch them. Unbelievable how they only hear what they want to hear and are only going through these motions to spread feel-good emotions.
On one hand you are right but lets be honest here. There is an attck on our Bill of Rights and I cannot and will not undermine the Bill of Rights. His wife got shot. I lost my brother and 3 other family members of my family to a Drunk Driver and you dont see me trying to ban booze.Ms. Giffords had a traumatic brain injury and is now disabled because of it. I think we should probably show some sensitivity after what she and her husband have been through.
That being said, I think that their formation of yet another gun grabbing organization that testifies at these hearings is a terribly misguided attempt at solving these kinds of violent acts. Lets make sure to donate to the NRA-ILA and keep the heat on our legislators to make sure that they know that these organizations are not representative of their constituents.
We have a passion for our rights on our side. How many antis do you think are calling their congress people weekly and demanding action compared to us?
This was clearly a win for us. The only "arguments" on the gun control side were emotional pleas.
As much as I felt sickened by the "statistic" that a girl scout troop went from 10 to 5, it should have no bearing on national legislation. Unfortunately, there's no way to say that without sounding like a callous jerk.
Hey, isn't her leg one of those 'assault prosthetics'?
Just saw a rerun on the news and caught Giffords' husband referring to 'special interests'.
Nice to see that protecting your family is now just some niche 'special interest'.
Seems that Loughner, the guy who shot his wife and several others, was detained by bystanders.
Perhaps if one of the bystanders had had a CCW and ended the massacre early by shooting Loughner, Mr and Mrs Giffords wouldn't be so rabidly anti-gun.
