You all in agreement with Feinstein do realize that home invasions, rapes, and murders actually do happen right? Do you really think a 100 lb lady or a disabled elderly person(lets say one of your loved ones who fits this category - maybe you?) can actually defend themselves against one(or several) of these would be aggressors? A kitchen knife is not going to do. You do realize that many criminals get their firearms through illegal gun trafficking and that many of them are fully automatic(watch "Gangland" on History Channel) right? I'm not trying to be a jerk. I really think you'd change your stance if you were personally attacked(assuming you lived) and had no means to defend yourself.
