In Memoriam: Diane Feinstein...With Thanks

Commenter "rd" said it best!

US Senator Diane Feinstein died.
The dedicated Gun Grabber can go to her grave knowing that she made that "Evil" AR-15 rifle the most popular firearm in the United States of America. Thanks to that ill thought out Clinton Era "assault weapons ban," Americans in unison raised their middle fingers to Washington DC, and preceded to buy, make, and import millions of semiautomatic rifles.
Building and modifying and rebuilding your own AR patterned rifle became a rite of passage for freedom loving Americans. We took a standard.223 caliber rifle, and invented a bunch of new rifle rounds like .300 Blackout, .338 Lapua, and a dozen more for it. We made short barrel rifles, pistols, and even T-shirt launchers out of them.
The AR-15 went from a niche product of Colt Firearms to being a popular, well selling product built by almost every US Firearms manufacturer, with dozens of start up companies building their own versions, and hundreds of companies getting into the business of manufacturing parts for AR rifles.
Thank you Diane Feinstein. Without your ham-fisted "Assault Weapons Ban," millions of Americans would never have became firearms enthusiasts.

8 Too late for the Book Thread, too early for the Gun Thread...

Still, nice sentiment and I remember seeing that earlier as well.

I can proudly claim to be someone who has assembled the lower receiver of an AR-15, though I did have a lot of help from an expert.

My hobby got 5 times more expensive.
I might build one more here soon as I have it 50% complete. Torn on what exactally to make out of my last lower from 8 years ago.

30 AR 15s seem to be one thing not affected by Bidenomic inflation. You can still buy one for under $500 that with a little tuning is respectable. Supply keeping up with demand. The best thing is those that wanted a safe full already have them, and most sold are going to new shooters or AR owners, expanding our ranks.

There's a better rumor than that - Governor Hair Gel has promised to appoint a black woman to the seat (after all, black women are 3% of the population of California), and he doesn't want to appoint anyone who will run for the seat in the next election.

Expect a visit soon from Victoria Nuland, the Angel of Death, who will explain to Slovakia that the results of democratic elections are only legitimate if she approves of them, and that Slovakia can expect a Color Revolution if Slovakia tries to change its policies.

95 Speaking of most popular rifle platform evah (maybe not yet) -
Jack Smith filed a whine in court that Truump may have violated conditions of his "release" by claiming to have bought a glock to perhaps impress and mislead voters. Lot's of conditionals in that whine rendering it meaningless w/o an recklessly active and biased judge. But what Jack wants, jack gets - defame Trump in the public record (docket) while claiming it is Trump misleading the public while admitting they knew it was just a photo op.

It works, maybe, progtards are saying Trump should be arresting for "possesion' and the gun stire raided by DEA and shut down for transferring a gun to a prohibited person.

The AR15 connection - the gun store was a Palmetto State Armory. Not just a store but manufacturer of cheap and reliable AR-15, AR-10, and Glock clones. Probably the biggest one.
Now that I think of it the Glock that Trump posed with may have been their clone.

Whatever. PSA should make their homepage a Feinstein tribute page, she served them well in life, and her legacy continues on.

Dennis makes the point, the left is always going to be the left, and there's nothing you can do about that. But liberals are people who claim to have values and principles of liberty, and then vote against those values.

So in his mind, liberals are the bigger problem. I never thought of it that way, but I'm assuming he's been making that point for a while now (I don't generally follow him).

House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals."

Link is Fox, so remain skeptical.

Well, she died worth $100 million dollars and with her own mansions, so unless divine retribution exists beyond death she did pretty well for herself.

The rest of us, not so much, but it does rather depend on whose perspective you're computing 'working out' from.

161 I know, I know. Too much going down memory lane. I don't know if they still have it, but a service member and family could be assigned sub standard quarters on an interim basis. They would only be charged a percentage of their BAQ. Knew a lot of guys who made every attempt to hang on to those quarters, usually only substandard due to square footage, number of windows, type of flooring or other BS. Friend of mine had a place over at Bolling and he and his wife had it looking like the "doll house". Very nice. Cried when they moved them and the kids to Andrews.

Which I don't understand. How can someone else try to take the office away from he/she/it. That's not how "our democracy" works.

171 I know, she did great. How about the rest of u?.
As a result of her Sanctuary City policy, we in SF got flooded with young MS-13 types, one of which murdered a father and his 2 sons not far from where I live. I lived close enough at the time to have heard the shots, which I did. She did this while attempting to ban weapons for the law abiding, so we would be sitting ducks. The MS-13 type was just "making his bones" (look it up).
RIP, Mr. Bologna and sons.
