I've met Diane Feinstein - on multiple occasions, starting way back when she was running for mayor of San Francisco.
I can say with certainty, Diane Feinstein is a severely damaged individual. Specifically, she suffers from enormous PTSD from witnessing the shootings of the mayor of San Francisco and the Milk guy (who, by the way, wasn't nearly the nice guy as portrayed in the media).
Diane Feinstein should never, ever have been allowed to hold office after what she witnessed and what she experiences in her stress-addled brain. The PTSD is exactly the reason she has such a lust for banning guns. People need to know this and demand that their legislators and political leaders be fully tested by mental health professionals before being allowed to hold office.
The problem isn't the guns. The problem is mental health. And the problem starts at the top.
In other news, the last time Feinstein enacted a gun ban, I made a lot of money off it. So ... there's always two sides to these things. Gun bans come and they expire. But the guns which remain always rise in value.
