During her three decades on Capitol Hill, one of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's top priorities was fighting the gun lobby.
Feinstein's words were direct, when talking about gun legislation.
"A law firm, secure on the 31st floor of a high-rise building, and a disgruntled employee walks in and just mows down employees," said Feinstein. "Her role in passing these strong bills, her role in talking about extreme risk laws, her role in talking about assault weapons, it saved lives, and it will continue to save lives in the future, and we will never dismiss the role that she played in making sure that Americans were safer," said Brady Gun Violence Prevention/Director of Federal Policy Tanya Schardt.
"As much as I have respect for a lot of Sen. Feinstein's accomplishments, her gun control record for me is an absolute failure. It did not achieve any of the goals that she set out," said Second Amendment Foundation gun rights advocate Chris Cheng.
