I told him that is surely not what I would do, but he can do whatever he wants.... But remember, when you start f'ing people, when this all settles down, those people that you f'd are going to remember that and likely won't be your customers any more.

She has, since before 1995, when she was outed as a concealed weapon carrier. The poor dear was walking each day to the hospital to see her sick husband and she was walking through a "bad" part of town, so that qualified her, in her eyes and for her only, to carry a gun. Too bad for the rest of us.
Here is an article about her latest attempt to introduce an "assault weapon" ban following Obama's re-election but before Sandy Hook. Notice in the picture heading up the article that she isn't watching her muzzle sweep and she has her finger on the trigger.

The good news is that this has exactly 0% chance of passing right now. None. At all.

But, since Sandy Hook, Repub Congressmen are showing the strength or absence of their backbone and principals. A complete ban on weapons would be impossible to get through the SCOTUS until the Left can stuff the SCOTUS a majority of Leftists. In the end, probably a "feel good" measure will be passed, but will have absolutely no effect on the ability of thugs or the mentally defective to get guns, it will just put more hurdles in the path of those law abiding citizens wanting to protect themselves, and raise the height of the existing hurdles, like adding waiting periods at each step of the process, and increasing fees, so that it would take a year and several hundred more dollars to obtain a CHP, and taxes on weapons and ammo that would triple or quadruple their costs, putting them out of reach of all except the weathly and, or course, the thugs.
I had to laugh at one claim Pres. Obama made in yesterday's announcement: "... more regulations to keep the criminals from getting guns...". Here's a clue, Mr. President: Criminals are called such because they don't care about the laws. The most restrictive guns laws are in the areas with the highest gun crimes, showing those laws are worthless. Besides, when the Federal government is feeding guns to thugs using programs like "Fast and Furious" what good are gun laws anyway?

I lived in the Bay Area in the 1970's and very distinctly remember then Mayor Feinstein ordering all San Francisco residents to turn in their handguns. She started with her own (a meaningless gesture, the SFPD had her guarded 24x7 in part because her predecessor had been murdered). It was BIG news at the time, but after spending some time searching for a news story on her handgun ban I have been unable to find one.
If anyone has access to LexisNexis and can find an article about her gun ban in the 70’s I’d appreciate getting a look at that.

--- Quote ---Feinstein said on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995, "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. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."[24]
In July 2006, Feinstein voted against the Vitter Amendment to prohibit Federal funds being used for the confiscation of lawfully owned firearms during a disaster.[25] [26]
Feinstein possessed a concealed handgun permit in the early 70's "And, 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'd walk to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me." -- 27 April 1995
