Dianne Feinstein speaking on on gun control

@SenFeinstein
4h4 hours ago

24 years ago today President Clinton signed our Assault Weapons Ban into law. Over the next 10 years there were 37% fewer gun massacres and 43% fewer gun massacre deaths. But in the 10 years after the ban expired in 2004, gun massacre deaths rose by 239%. #EnoughIsEnough

Just to be clear, I haven't touched a firearm since my discharge from the Army, I don't like guns, but, the SC has ruled that the second amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms, like it or not.
