Feinstein,

Blumenthal
Press
Conference
(October
4,
2017)
“I
hope
senators
would
finally
summon
the
political
courage
to
stand
up
and
say
enough
is
enough.
We
can’t
sit
by
this
deadliest
mass
shooting.
It
is
time
to
act.
We
cannot
do
nothing.”

Feinstein
Introduces
Bill
to
Close
Automatic
Weapon
Loophole (October
4,
2017)
“Automatic
weapons
have
been
illegal
for
more
than
30
years,
but
there’s
a
loophole
in
the
law
that
can
be
exploited
to
allow
killers
to
fire
at
rates
of
between
400
and
800
rounds-per-minute.
The
only
reason
to
fire
so
many
rounds
so
fast
is
to
kill
large
numbers
of
people.
No
one
should
be
able
to
easily
and
cheaply
modify
legal
weapons
into
what
are
essentially
machine
guns.”

Senators
Introduce
Bill
to
Close
Background
Check
Loophole (October
5,
2017)
“Current
law
allows
gun
sales
to
proceed
after
72
hourseven
if
background
checks
aren’t
approved.
This
is
dangerous
loophole
that
could
allow
criminals
and
those
with
mental
illness
to
complete
their
purchase
of
firearms
even
though
it
would
be
unlawful
for
them
to
possess
them.”

Feinstein
Speaks
Out
on
Las
Vegas
Massacre
(October
2,
2017)
“We
must
not
allow
ourselves
to
become
numb
to
these
massacres
that
can
snuff
out
so
many
lives
in
such
a
short
time.
It
should
shock
every
American
that
one
individual,
with
easy
access
to
weapons
and
ammunition,
can
inflict
such
devastation.”

SAFEGUARDING
DACA
Feinstein
Speaks
on
Need
to
Protect
DACA
(October
3,
2017)
“The
last
nine
months
must
have
been
a
roller
coaster
of
uncertainty
and
fear
for
young
Denisse
Rojas
and
the
rest
of
these
young
people.
There
are
anywhere
from
699,000
to
800,000
enrolled
in
the
DACA
program
who
came
to
America
at
a
very
young
age,
through
no
choice
of
their
own.”

Feinstein
Defends
California’s
DACA
Youth
(October
3,
2017)
“The
typical
person
on
DACA
came
to
this
country
at
six
years
of
age
so
the
United
States
is
really
the
only
home
they
know.
And
around
one-third
of
these
live
in
my
state
of
California.
So,
this
program
is
particularly
important
for
me
and
for
my
state,
where
it
enjoys
very
strong
support.”

KEY
STATEMENTS
Feinstein
Supports
Criminal
Justice
Reform
(October
4,
2017)
“I
oversaw
more
than
5,000
felony
cases
during
my
service
on
the
California
Women’s
Board
of
Terms
and
Parole.
I
know
the
negative
effects
of
rigid,
determinate
sentences
on
families
and
defendants.
Judges
need
discretion
to
evaluate
the
facts
of
each
case
before
them.”

Bashes
Republican
Plan
to
Cut
Taxes
for
Rich
(September
27,
2017)
“Republicans
can’t
seem
to
learn
from
their
mistakes.
After
three
failed
health
care
bills
with
zero
Democratic
or
public
input,
Republicans
are
using
the
same
approach
with
tax
reform.
And
the
result
is
a
one-sided
proposal
that
cuts
taxes
for
the
rich
at
the
expense
of
everyone
else.”

Speech

“The
goals
of
the
United
Nations
are
to
foster
peace
and
promote
global
cooperation.
Today,
the
president
used
it
as
a
stage
to
threaten
war.”
