There it is folks.

Senator Feinstein is one of the most vocal anti-gun senators in the nation. She has stated on the record that if she could she would have Americans turn in their firearms the next day. It's no secret and this time she's feeling pretty confident. So if you find this act of her's to be disturbing get busy and start doing all that boring stuff like contacting your reps, contacting the NRA and so on. Feinstein has been waiting for an opprotunity like this for years.
