WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
A visibly upset U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-San Francisco) laced into today's U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Washington, D.C.'s gun ban.
Speaking during a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee, California's senior senator expressed bitter disappointment in the decision, saying the 5-4 ruling will make less safe the entire nation, not just the District of Columbia.
"I speak as a former mayor. I speak as somebody who has gone to homicide crime scenes," Feinstein said. "I speak as somebody who (has) lost a youngster that I mentored, who killed himself by playing Russian roulette with a weapon he found. I speak as somebody who authorized assault weapons legislation, who believes that it was working when it was allowed to expire....
I think this is a monumental decision. I am profoundly disappointed in Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, both of whom assured us about their respect for precedent."

When she was living in SF, she carried a revolver around in her purse. Made a big show of turning it in, but that was after she had a fulltime armed bodyguard/escort.
Who cares how she speaks? She's still a leftist crybaby! If she had her twisted way, there would be no guns PERIOD. I've known a couple of people like her before--and they were just as ignorant and blind to reality. Plenty of mayors are not so stupid. Plenty of homicide scenes have been created WITHOUT the use of guns. The kid who shot himself playing Russian roulette might have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge if his buddies were doing that, too. Don't even get me started on the "assault weapons legislation." Cosmetics and nomenclature do not create evil. That resides in the hearts and minds of evil people. How is she (or anyone else) going to control EVIL with legislation?
