Feinstein was the driving force to the failed (and now lapsed) 1994 \u201cassault weapons\u201d ban, and it was upon her success at getting the law passed that she made her admission. &#8220;If I could\u2019ve gotten 51 votes in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.senate.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate of the United States<\/a> for an outright ban, picking up every one of them \u2014 Mr. and Mrs. America turn \u2019em all in \u2014 I would have done it.
