QOTD - Gun Law

 Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill and government should prevent them from owning firearms"

Thursday, 29 Aug, in a meeting in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. 

 She was in Colorado recently campaigning for our Dem Representatives. I wonder if the local Republicans will think it gauche to bring this bit up. They are frequently too polite to say anything that might reflect badly on an opponent except in a primary.

Update: When something sounds a bit too good to be true, you should check carefully first, which I didn't. Per Fact Check.org:

Q: Did Sen. Dianne Feinstein say all military veterans are mentally ill and should not be allowed to own guns?
A: No. She said veterans should not be exempt from her proposed assault weapons ban, citing post-traumatic stress disorder as a concern. She did not say all veterans suffer from PTSD or that all veterans should not own guns.

 So what she was proposing was that due to the high likelihood of vets suffering PTSD, they should not be exempted from a proposed AWB which had been written to exempt retired police and military vets. It's not quite the same thing as saying vets are all crazy. Not quite.
