Response from Feinstein

[Subdeacon Joe]

I got another reply from my dear Senator. My reply is interspersed into her letter. I'll put hers in blue to help eliminate confusion.

Sen.
Feinstein:

Thank
you for your swift response to my last note to you. Once again you have responded with
distortions, lies, and ignorance of facts.
I’ll be interspersing my reply into your letter so there is no question
about what parts I’m commenting on.

Dear Mr. Lovell:

Wow,
some low level clerk caught my comment about familiarity. I’m impressed. (added, last reply from her was "Dear Joseph" to which I ranted about undue familiarity. And maybe Dianne and I should get together for a few brewskies)

 

Thank you
for contacting me to share your opposition to gun control. I respect your
opinion on this issue, and I welcome the opportunity to provide my
perspective.

 

In a pigs eye you respect my opinion.

 

I support
an individual's Second Amendment right to own a gun. I recognize that
there are many law-abiding gun owners who use guns in a safe manner for
activities such as hunting, sport, or self-defense.

Yep,
close to 100,000,000 of us.

Nonetheless,
the problem of gun violence in this country is a serious one, as demonstrated
by recent mass shootings. On December 14, 2012, a gunman massacred 20
children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown,
Connecticut. Earlier that year, on July 20, 2012, a gunman killed 12 and
injured 58 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. These shootings came
one year after Representative Gabrielle Giffords was injured and six
others killed when a gunman opened fire at a shopping center outside Tucson,
Arizona, on January 8, 2011. These are only a few examples of the mass
shootings that have become all too common in our country. They underscore
the need to impose common-sense measures to keep guns out of the hands of
criminals, unsupervised children, and the seriously mentally ill.



Let’s turn it
around. Of the ca. 100,000,000 people
who own guns in our republic, if we look at each death and injury as a unique
event caused by a single individual, we have about 140,000 people who have
abused their civil rights and caused harm with firearms. That number is high
due to some thugs causing multiple injuries or deaths. But, giving your anti-civil rights agenda all
possible support, I’ll count all, even suicides, as single criminal acts. So, 140,000/100,000,000. Comes out to 0.0014,
or 0.14% of all gun owners. You are attempting to strip the civil rights
from roughly a third of our population because of the criminal acts of less
than one half of one percent of gun owners.



By the way, “mass shootings” are not common.
If they were common, they wouldn’t make headlines for months on
end. It is the rarity of them that
causes them to be memorable.



And, you completely ignore the social benefits of allowing citizens the free exercise
of their civil rights. Best estimates
place Defensive Gun Use at about 2,250,000 per year. That is over two million crimes prevented per
year. Over 6,000 crimes per day
stopped. That would be about 50,000
deaths prevented each year. But you
ignore that. In fact, you have dismissed
that in public as unimportant.

 

I recognize
that many factors contribute to gun violence,

There is no such thing as “gun violence.” There is violence. The tool is irrelevant. Unless you will also include in your tool box
of catch phrases “knife violence,” “foot violence,” “fist violence,” “club
violence,” “fireplace poker violence,” and so on. The phrase “gun violence” is a cynical attempt
to create the impression that firearms are only used for criminal
violence.

 

including
mental illness and the depiction of gratuitous violence in the media.
That is why I have supported laws that expand access to mental health care by
prohibiting insurance companies and Medicare from charging excessive co-pays
for such treatments, as well as federal research programs designed to improve
our understanding of, and identify new treatments for, a variety of mental
illnesses. I also support the video game industry's voluntary efforts to
institute a ratings system for video games that contain explicit or violent
material. This system is important because it gives parents the
information they need to monitor the content of games and allows them to make
more informed decisions about whether their children are being improperly
influenced. At the same time, we cannot overlook the significant role
that easy access to guns plays in the high levels of gun violence in the United
States.

 

If you take out the violence in hell holes like Chicago,
Detroit, and DC – all cities long controlled by Democrats and all with such
stringent anti-civil rights ordinances as to make them “gun free zones” as far
as honest citizens are concerned - our
rate of “gun violence” drops to roughly that of other industrialized
countries. And again, you hide, that is,
lie by omission, the net benefit of armed, honest citizens in preventing crime.



As an aside, you do know that Japan, which is effectively gun free, has more
deaths by suicide the we have total deaths by means of firearm, don’t you?

 

It is
helpful for me to hear your perspective on this issue, and I will be mindful of
your thoughts as the debate on gun safety legislation continues. I hope
you will continue to keep me informed on issues of importance to you. If
you have any additional comments or questions, please do not hesitate to
contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202)
224-3841.

 

Sincerely
yours,





Dianne Feinstein

Yeah, a canned forked toung letter.

[Dusty Balz, SASS#46599]

Another guy wit the same response from the hag, you should print both and send them back to her

 

 

 

DrVino wrote Senator Feinstein to voice his
opposition to gun control. Ms. Feinstein wrote back. I republish her
entirely predictable response here to remind The People of the Gun that
politicians pay lip service to that which they would destroy: Americans’
natural, civil and Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear
arms. Like rust, the antis’ commitment to gun control never sleeps.

Has anybody noticed that they don't try to ban "High capacity vehicles", every time a bus, plane or train crashes, no one wants to ban them, no matter how many are killed or maimed. The recent train derailment for instance. Right after Sandy Hook-- 23 died in a "black" pick up in Texas carrying illegals, but no ban on black pick ups. Just sayin'
