So far it's all the same rhetoric.

Holy shit some of these people are just idiots. Be advised your blood pressure will spike watching this.

EDIT: Where did they dig up this police officer? I want to know so I can never live there.

[t1066]

At least the guy on now is making sense.

[KPShooting]

Nutter is shitting bricks listening to the woman from Florida saying legislation won't help.

[tlgpa]

Nutter just admits that an AWB is useless in Philly. All the deaths were by handguns and shotguns. Not rifles.

I want to punch this idiot in the face!

[flyingjunkie]

I'm so sick of hearing these liberal assholes saying "I believe..." THEY HAVE NO FACTS!!!!

[jerkin]

I didn't have time to listen to all of this but heard several quotes like "this bill will not affect legitimate gun owners", "does not affect guns used for hunting or sporting purposes", "These guns are not used for hunting or sport and are designed for one thing, to kill people".

Did anyone come out and debunk this bullshit and tell these idiots that these are used in almost every State for hunting or that they are used almost exclusively for the rifle portion of 3 gun matches? I'm hoping so but I never heard it. Talk about a stacked panel.

Why does no one call them out on statements like this:
"Despite later testimony from witnesses who cited statistics in challenging the effectiveness of tougher gun laws, Feinstein and other supporters said they couldn't understand how anyone could argue that the general public has a constitutional right to weapons designed purely to kill as fast and brutally as possible."

As brutally as possible? Really? A faceful of 00 Buck is more brutal (right Joe?), as is having your head chopped off by a machete, or your skull caved in with a tire iron, or set on fire with gasoline etc... Dead is dead.

Never any facts, always all emotion and hyperbole...

That stupid bitch Feinstein has done NO research on these weapons despite her assertions otherwise. If she HAD done any research, she would know that the M16 platform was designed to injure, not kill. 1 injured soldier takes 2 extra soldiers to remove him from the battlefield. That aside, if it were designed to kill and "tear apart bodies and organs" like she said in her closing statement, wouldn't they have picked a bigger round than the .223/5.56. With so many options of bigger rounds out there, to say that this one is the "most lethal" just goes to show her ignorance and stupidity.
