The following list of bureaucrats who support the black gun ban was compiled by Diane Feinstein’s office on or around December 11, 1995. (See Law Enforcement & Self-Defense for how actual police officers feel about gun control.)
Most of these organizations are, in fact, from California, who have the most to benefit from being on Senator Feinstein’s good side. If you have contacts with, or live in the jurisdiction of, one of these bureaucratic organizations, you might want to point out politely who they’re really supposed to serve.
Or, if you’re feeling less confrontational, ask them to clarify their position; forward the response to me for inclusion here.
