Dianne Feinstein kowtows to Bush on gun ban renewal

"President Bush said in his campaign that he would sign a straight reauthorization of the assault weapons ban and a closure of the clip importation loophole. And this is exactly the legislation that Senator Schumer and I have introduced."

Senator Dianne Feinstein August 21, 2003

You mean on this issue?

a Democrat show the entire country what a lying piece of shit this unelected drunk is...or what extremist scum he's in bed with.

Jeeze, if he's not re-elected the NRA will lose their office in the White House!

And the bill (S.1034) is sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee...

...I think it's safe to say that dog won't be hunting for a while.

:D

Are you saying what I think your saying?

Is the AWB a fart in the wind come my birthday? (9/13/04)

It might be revived during the 2004 session, but I doubt DiFi will be able to get it out of the JC.

Keep up the pressure.

I'm optimistic.

And in the meantime I'm doing my best to get our horrible Republican Senator Mike DeW(h)ine to sign on to S.659 (the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act). I've been calling his office monthly since June. He has "not taken a position on the bill" yet. :(

There are 10 Democratic Senators currently co-sponsoring it, 45 Republican Senators.

Sadly, there's a reason that Sen. DeW(h)ine gets an F rating from the Gun Owners of America.

..... sounds like a reasoned, thoughtful person to me.

The people Larry Pratt approves of are some of the scummiest people in the world.

:-)

are richly deserved.

Labeling someone a racist, doesn't make him a racist. Larry Pratt has a heck of a lot more credibility than an anonymous person hiding behind a keyboard typing out slurs and insults.

...my dog crapped a turd in my back yard this morning that has a lot more credibility than Larry Pratt.

"Pat Buchanan is not a fascist, as New York Times columnist Abe Rosenthal once charged. He's not that sincere.
This is one dangerous demagogue with a long history of hostility toward gays ("the pederast proletariat"), feminists ("the butch brigade"), women ("less equipped psychologically to 'stay the course,"') and American Jews (Israel's "amen corner"). William F. Buckley Jr. concluded that Buchanan's persistent slanders against American Jews "could not reasonably be interpreted as other than anti-Semitic in tone and in substance." His immigrant bashing has long had a racist undertone. In 1984, he argued that Americans would have to decide "whether the United States of the 21st Century will remain a white nation" and later warned about an invasion of "Zulus."
It was therefore no surprise to learn that his campaign cochairman, Larry Pratt, attended meetings with members of the Aryan Nation and other neofascist groups at which they shared a common interest in armed militias. ."

"In 1996, Larry Pratt served as Buchanan's presidential campaign co-chairman. Pratt heads Gun Owners of America, but more important, is a key figure in American militia circles. Pratt attended the infamous October 1992 militia planning session in Colorado hosted by the notorious racist Christian Identity pastor Pete Peters. Pratt has shared the stage at rallies with Aryan Nation Chief Richard Butler and former KKK leader and guerrilla warfare specialist Louis Beam. Pratt resigned after the media exposed his ties to the neo-Nazi and white supremacist fringe."

"Larry Pratt has a heck of a lot more credibility than an anonymous person hiding behind a keyboard typing out slurs and insults"
With the Aryan Nation, maybe. But he's such a racist scumbag even Pat Buchanan had to flee his public company.

won't turn it into a lie. Pratt is a racist scumbag.

"In 1986 the Virginia-based group English First was founded by Larry Pratt, who also started Gun Owners of America. (Pratt may best be remembered for having to step down earlier this year as co-chairman of GOP presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan's campaign for allegedly making public appearances with leaders of white supremacist organizations, including the Aryan Nation and Christian Identity.) Buchanan has also endorsed Official English. "

" In 1992, over 150 of the most extremist elements on the far right met in Estes Park, Colorado to galvanize a national strategy to organize a national militia movement. In attendance were Aryan Nations leaders Richard Butler and Louis Beam, and Larry Pratt of the radical gun lobby, Gun Owners of America. "

"Thus began today’s patriot movement. The militias began forming after the August 1992 Ruby Ridge shootings involving Randy Weaver, an Idaho white supremacist. In late October of that year, between 150 and 175 men convened in Estes Park, Colorado, to discuss how to respond to the government’s actions against the Weaver family. This meeting was reportedly a "Christian" men’s conference, but attendees were hardly representative of American churches. Presiding over the event was well-known CIM pastor Pete Peters. Other racists present included former KKK Grand Dragon Louis Beam, Aryan Nations founder Richard Butler, and Montana anti-Semitic tax protester M. J. "Red" Beckman.
Retired Virginia legislator Larry Pratt (Gun Owners of America director) was also there. He seems to be the first individual who has publicly suggested that citizens form armed militias. Although Pratt’s racist audience heartily endorsed his idea, it did not catch on with a wider public until after the infamous 1993 raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on the Branch Davidian religious commune in Waco, Texas."

Senator Dianne Feinstein of "mr and mrs america turn them all in" notoriety?

Good example of a classist gun grabber.

One that advocates banning guns, yet carries one concealed.

If that isn't elitism, I don't know what is.

Where are all the antigunners screaming about THAT?

I guess by the latest logic down here, all antigunners must be elitist,since none of them are speaking out against this.

Ill be glad when this line of reasoning dies.
