WASHINGTON – A video has been uncovered in which Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who has promised to introduce probably the most restrictive gun control legislative ever seen in the United States, reveals she was trained in firearms and carried a concealed weapon.
In the video of a U.S. Senate hearing on terrorism after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, she told “a little anecdote” of how she carried concealed to protect herself after two assassination attempts by the New World Liberation Front, the NWLF.
She explained:The video has surfaced amid Feinstein’s announcement of a proposal that would ban many types of weapons in response to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. Twenty children and six adults were killed.“I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that’s what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me.”
Michael Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America, asked in an interview with WND, “Do we need any more proof that she is a hypocrite?” Hammond said Feinstein “has no problem getting Congress to buy armed guards for Capitol Hill.” “Does she consider herself more precious and more valuable than our children?” he asked.
Hammond was optimistic her new assault weapons ban proposal would be defeated. “The central reason is that it is going to ban most hunting rifles and will require hunters to be registered with the federal government,” he said.
“This discredits the whole notion of gun control” due to the “extreme left-wing” nature of the bill, he said.
Hammond is confident that enough Democrats from GOP districts will stand against it, considering they are up for reelection. He cited as examples Max Baucus of Montana, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Mark Pryor of Arkansas
Feinstein reportedly no longer has her concealed carry permit.
In an interview with “60 Minutes” in 1995 she said, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up every one of them. Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in, I would have done it.”She championed her private firearm ownership the same year that she called for banning “all” firearm ownership.
