Judiciary Committee approves Feinstein’s weapons ban

The Washington Post reports that the Senate Judiciary Committee approved Dianne Feinstein’s Scary Black Rifle Ban on a party-line 10-8 vote. Apparently, Ted Cruz and Feinstein had a heated debate;

Speaking directly to Feinstein, Cruz asked: “Would she deem it consistent with the Bill of Rights for Congress to engage in the same endeavor that we are contemplating doing to the Second Amendment, in the context of the First or Fourth Amendment? Namely, would she consider it constitutional for Congress to specify that the First Amendment shall apply only to the following books and shall not apply to the books that Congress has deemed outside the protection of the Bill of Rights? Likewise, would she think that the Fourth Amendment’s protection against searches and seizures, could properly apply only to the following specified individuals, and not to the individuals that Congress has deemed outside the protection of the law?”

Visibly angry, Feinstein shot back.

“I’m not a sixth grader,” she said. “I’m not a lawyer, but after 20 years I’ve been up close and personal with the Constitution. I have great respect for it.”

Here’s a video of the exchange;

Yeah, we can tell. Cruz later said that the debate and the conversation should be based on facts and the Constitution not on emotional knee-jerk reactions. But, he’s opposing the wrong people and in the wrong debate for that to occur. These are the people who want to prohibit grenade launchers on semi-automatic rifles, but would allow them if the grenade launchers were attached to bolt-action rifles. If there were even grenade launchers available in the marketplace.
