Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : From her perch in the Senate, Feinstein was a habitual enemy of the Second Amendment, a hysterical drug warrior, and an unfailing defender of government surveillance.
48% : Feinstein's hostility to private gun ownership and her love of the national security apparatus found their truest expression in her repeated attempts to pass legislation that would bar people on the FBI's terror watchlist from purchasing guns.
36% : The legislation banned over-the-counter pseudoephedrine and ephedrine sales with the goal of stopping meth cooks from stocking up on the medicines, which can be used as precursors for the illegal drug.
30% : One of Feinstein's Sisyphean efforts has been attempting to revive the federal assault weapons ban since it expired in 2004.
