This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Added Much-Needed Context and Complete Quote About DF's Concealed Carry History

removed reference to edited clip at: http://www.mrctv.org/videos/feinstein-1995-her-concealed-carry-permit-i-know-urge-arm-yourself-because-thats-what-i-did which -- like the previous edit of this article -- is misleadingly edited, so as to suggest that DF still has a concealed carry permit and that she still believes that she has a right to "take them with her" whilst depriving others of their "rights" to own the specific types of firearms listed in the AWB of 2013
- a better, more honestly edited clip, containing the entirety of DF's statements on her personal experience with firearms possesion can be found at: http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/clips/2013/03/19/29302/cspan-cspan-19950427-feinstein.mp4
added text to quote transcribed directly from clip of hearing at: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/UnitedState
added important info that DF no longer has conceal carry permit nor a firearm
