Senator Dianne Feinstein who proposed the assault weapons ban and she has taken heat from republicans. Today, when a tea Party Senator who just been elected a few months ago started in, she decided she had enough of that. It seems to me that a lot of this should begin as our foundational document. The drama begins with freshman senator of texas, telling california senator feinstein a weapons ban is unconstitutional. And the Second Amendment provides that the right of the people to keep and bare arms will not be infringed. Senator, ive been on this committee for twenty years. I was a mayor for nine years.
