In Feinstein’s "Harvey Milk" Gun Control Speech, No Mention of Her .38 Special
California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein made an impassioned call for gun control during a Capitol Hill hearing Thursday, recalling putting her fingers into bullet wounds on the body of slain gay activist Harvey Milk.
But the gun that did the killing -- a .38 special -- doesn’t appear on the list of firearms she wants the federal government to ban.
And Feinstein carried the same model revolver in her purse for nearly four years after the attack. [emphasis added]
"'When you come from where I’ve come from and what you’ve seen, when you found a dead body and put your finger in bullet holes, you really realize the impact of weapons,' the California Democrat told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, after a pointed exchange with Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz about the Second Amendment," The Daily Caller reports.
