KTVU notes that the California recall hasn't stifled the anti-gun crowd. Governor Davis thinks that campaigning for a gun ban will help save his job, and candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees.

[Gov. Gray] Davis and Sen. Dianne Feinstein pressed for a permanent federal ban on assault weapons [...]

Schwarzenegger has said he supports "sensible gun controls," including a ban on assault weapons.

Davis uses the opportunity to take the Kerry approach and point out that he was in the Vietnam war, and therefore is a gun expert and criminologist. Meanwhile Feinstein has the nerve to bash Arnold, who is a fellow gun grabber, on the violent content of his movies.

Sure, Schwarzenegger may parade around in movies with guns, but Feinstein parades around town with hers. She can afford armed body guards and has the political clout to actually receive a concealed firearms permit in California. She admits to having carried a .38 revolver in her purse, because she was afraid for her safety. Yet she also said on 60 minutes, "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out-right ban... I would have done it."

In her opinion, guns are fine for the liberal elite and the wealthy. But those of us without her money and political connections are just shit out of luck when it comes to our personal safety. Hypocrisy at it's finest. If I ever had the chance, I wouldn't vote for any of these clowns, based solely on their anti-freedom position.
