Gun Laws Are For Little People, Not Queen Diane Feinstein
Emily Miller writes in the Wash Times:
Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier seems to think that gun-control laws don't apply to the liberal elite. The police chief helped Sen. Dianne Feinstein acquire "assault weapons," which are illegal to possess in the District, for a news conference early this year to promote a ban on these firearms, then tried to cover up the police involvement.Now, a response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveals Chief Lanier's shocking willingness to bend the rules for partisan and ideological purposes.
Lanier's coverup
Chief Lanier wanted to help Mrs. Feinstein, but didn't want the media to know.
Cmdr. Williams emailed Mr. Mentzer to put a "bug" in his ear that the police would "prefer that no mention of the fact that the weapons came from D.C. or were recovered by MPDC in the official language or speeches." Mr. Mentzer replied, "By not mentioning where the weapons came from, we open ourselves up to the same charge against David Gregory."He was referring to the anchor of NBC's "Meet the Press," who knowingly procured an illegal 30-round magazine in the District as a stunt for his TV show, but was not charged.
The office of Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance W. Gainer coordinated bringing the illegal weapons onto Capitol Hill for Mrs. Feinstein's dramatic Jan. 24 news conference introducing her new "assault weapons" ban.Kathryn Stillman, the campus-access coordinator for Mr. Gainer, emailed Cmdr. Williams and Mrs. Feinstein's staff to recommend the firearms be mounted on a board with zip ties so that Mrs. Feinstein could "point or even touch, but no need for any particular handling." This was to ensure that it could be argued later that the senator never had "possession" of the illegal guns.

"No, officer, I'm not in possession of cocaine, moonshine, elephant ivory, M1 Abrams tanks, or a small nuclear warhead. They are all attached to display boards with zip ties, don't you see?"

neither one of these people will ever believe that waht they did was in any way, wrong.
It was For The Cause™, you see.
Might have been more ambiguous had the weapon been taken apart and the receiver removed, and the rest bolder to a board for display...
Or the could have displayed a lifesized poster, and/or a replica, that WAS legal.
Why is it that those things would have been harder? They obviously wouldn't have had the punch that a real weapon would have.
As I recall, she handled it dangerously, too.
Because, It's For The Cause™ and the ends must justify the means in Feinstein's ossified totalitarian heart.

The house she gave her daughter is for sale, too.

In the "progressive" mind, whether an act is right or wrong, good or evil, depends not on the nature of the act itself but on who does it.
