Politician I truly hate

There's very few politicians that I truly hate. Dianne Feinstein is one of them. She is almost
the exact opposite of the majority of my beliefs. For example, I'm a law abiding citizen who owns a Colt AR-15 rifle. This is a serious weapon. I have several 30 round clips for it and it cost me almost $900. Now, I'm not going to debate with some idiot on why I "need" a weapon like this. It has nothing to do with "need". The Constitution says I have the right to bear arms, and I exercise that right. You may not exercise that right, but don't infringe on my rights. Dianne Feinstein pushed for the Assault Weapons Ban in 1993 and was successful in having it passed as federal law. Apparantly, she didn't read the part in the Constitution that says "Shall not be infringed". According to her own website, there's conflicting data on wether or not this ban actually helped prevent crime. This was the entire reason that she and other Democrats said the ban was for. Now, if that is the case, and the ban shows conflicting data on if it did or did not reduce crime, why is she trying to push for this law to be reinstated? Well, according to another part of her website, crimes involving assault weapons went down during this time. The problem is, is that she's misleading the public with the data.

The only thing this ban did was raise the price of existing weapons and accessories for those weapons. I could have easily gotten this weapon, brand new, for less then $700. However, brand new, it would have run me almost $1,200. Well, thanks Dianne. Your idiocy cost me about $500. And you aren't even my representative.

When you ban certain types of weapons, the immediately become more expensive. For example, during the 1920's and 30's when Prohibition was in place, a shot of whiskey shot up in price significantly. Well if the price of a weapon goes from $700 to $1,200 in my case, do you honestly think that a criminal is going to spend the extra money to get the same weapon?? Do you think that the guy who is going to rob someone or kill someone would spend extra money on a more rare weapon to do it crime? No, of course not, he's going to grab a simple hand gun that allows him to get his job done and be done with it.

The other reason I truly hate this woman, she purports to be tough on crime. Well what politician isn't. :) When she was mayor of San Francisco in the mid 1980's , Richards "The Night Stalker" Ramirez was going around throughout California killing random people. Well during the investigation, Dianne decided it was a good idea to tell the public details about the crimes that only investigators knew. For example, what kind of shoes Richard was wearing. Well, just like any criminal, the minute he found out about this, he admittedly dumped everything he was wearing and his shoes over the Golden Gate bridge. The items were never found. Because of this, Dianne may very well have prevented Richard from getting caught earlier, thus saving innocent lives. Then from time to time, she has the nerve to critisize investigators on other cases throughout the years. Personally, I'd raise hell itself if I found out she did that and the person investigators were trying to find ended up hurting or killing one of my loved ones. Remember Dianne, it is better to be quiet and have people think you're a fool, then to open your mouth and confirm it.
