Sen. Feinstein holding an AK while giving testimony a felony in DC...

[ezkl2230]

This has been brought up in a few threads because of the picture of Sen. Feinstein holding an AK with a drum magazine (we'll forget about her finger on the trigger for this thread) while giving testimony.

The question was raised regarding the illegality of her possession of that weapons system in DC, and I and others replied that she is immune from arrest and prosecution under Section 6 of the US Constitution.

Section 6 states,

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

I've had to re-think my opinion of the applicability of Section 6 of the US Constitution in this case.

Legislators are exempt from arrest and prosecution EXCEPT in cases of FELONY.

Feinstein's possession of an AK, especially with the high capacity magazine, is a FELONY in DC (actually, multiple felonies). Section 6 only protects legislators from most misdemeanors and civil infractions - not felonies. Section 6 does not specify that the felony committed must be a FEDERAL felony; it states categorically that there is no immunity when the illegal act constitutes a felony. Even if there was a BATFE agent in the room with her at the time of her testimony, for the time during which the AK was being held by Sen. Feinstein, that firearm was out of the agent's custody and in the custody of the senator. Sen. Feinstein is not an officer of the court, nor is she a law enforcement officer - she is a legislator giving testimony. That means that her possession of a banned weapon and magazine in DC constitutes multiple felonies, which nullifies her Constitutional immunity from prosecution.

It's not going to happen, but she should be arrested and charged for the felonies she committed.

I would love to see her arrested and thrown in jail. Then lose the key to her cell.

Actually, I would like to see stocks return as punishment for illegal acts. Even an hour in stocks would be punishment for most illegal deeds. As for "cruel and unusual" punishment, what would be "unusual" about it if it was done to many law breakers? And you would have a difficult time convincing me that it's cruel - not nearly as cruel as being put in a cell.

Yeah, it would be cruel and unusual punishment to put her in jail. The other inmates would be irreparably affected.:wacko:

Would it not be possible for someone in the jurisdiction in which that picture was taken to file a complaint with the local law enforcement agency?

If so, she should be reported for it. I would love to see her hypocritical ass behind bars.

I believe that whomever legally owned that weapon must have been in the room and close to her. If so, I believe that is allowed under NFA law, if it was a registered NFA weapon.

Regardless, she had her finger on the trigger, and proves in that picture she is an ignorant spokesperson for any gun related bans, past and present.

 

[memphis_raines]

The whole idea of Feinstein wanting to ban all guns is the ultimate irony. A Jew acting just like Hitler.

 

[Warrior1256]

Wonder how she passed the range test to get her concealed carry permit.

 

[SR40c]

She, like all other gun control proponents, has a bad case of not knowing what the hell she is talking about.

If it was an NFA Title II registered gun it would already be banned for common ownership. And I don't believe that DC makes any exception for ownership under the NFA except to LEOs Corrections officers and such.

DF would better spend her time by reading Gun Control - Just Facts instead of looking a pictures of things she really doesn't understand.

Interesting website, S&W645. Unfortunately, our elected representatives have no use for real facts and figures. Just ones massaged to bolster their insane positions.

Sadly, that is true of many of them.

Not sure if this has been posted (Or if similar information has been?) idk

But I was randomly viewing Youtube videos and other stuff (YAY FPSRussia guy (ok fake accent/etc but still cool firearms he gets to use.. )
Anyhow I came across this information - decided to look at it - and well Feinstein goes about saying that sometime in last 20 years. she was threatened and terrorized and stuff - got guns/permit/etc and yada yada.. Not sure how long her Yapp session goes on offically, as this is cut to about 1min 35seconds. - but basically she says she "understands" how comforting it can be to own firearms when "bad things happen"

Funny Us normal folk have bad things happen too, why cant we draw comfort from the feeling of going armed?

Is it seriously her idea that because of terrorists, us normal folks should go unarmed and unsafe into the dark nights? just wondering..

Edit: aparently the webserver this guy owned just died? idk.. but
Here are 4 of the top reasons for carrying a concealed weapon. As presented from a self-avowed “Expert” on firearms : Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

Granted, she doesn’t think that any normal civilian should have the right to carry one, just politicians and other people in the public elite.

1 Guns can help protect you from terrorists like the ELF.
2 Helps prevent a feeling of selflessness
3 Gives you a fighting chance against a armed attacker
4 Provides safety against the threat of extremists on the right or left.

Link to her video explaining how she came to own guns and a gun permit.

Did you all forget this that just happened a couple weeks ago? Those pushing for control are exempt from the very laws they're pushing to increase.

She got lessons from Monica Lewinsky?:sarcastic:

 

[Dunewolf]

From another post on these forums

Feinsteins reasons she owns guns and has a carry permit.

1 Guns can help protect you from terrorists like the ELF.
2 Helps prevent a feeling of selflessness
3 Gives you a fighting chance against a armed attacker
4 Provides safety against the threat of extremists on the right or left.

Finger in trigger, pointed at audience and safety off.

And she is the firearm expert who is determining policy

tom

ANYONE can file a criminal complaint with law enforcement; they don't have to be from the jurisdiction in question.

I just hope the ignorant and arrogant buffoon did not spawn.

I wonder why any of you brought up NFA. The only thing that would make that AK NFA would be if it were full auto. I also wonder why someone has not taken all these AG nimrods to a firing range to demonstrate the difference between full auto military assault rifles, semi-auto sporting rifles and high powered hunting rifles.
