Fact-checking Dianne Feinstein on assault weapons and police deaths

Dianne Feinstein

It's hard to define 'assault weapon'

"One out of every five law enforcement officers that's killed is killed with an assault weapon."

Marco Rubio

Violence rose and fell, rose and fell

"Washington, D.C., had some of the strictest gun laws in the country. And when they passed them, violence skyrocketed."

Scott Walker

This arrow sailed over the target

"We just had someone last week in Neenah near a school kill someone with a bow and arrow."

J.D. Van Brink

This land is your land

The federal government owns 30 percent of the land in the 50 states, or about 650 million acres.

National Organization for Marriage

No proof that it happened

"Religious groups like Knights of Columbus have been forced to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their facilities, against their beliefs."

Gayle Atteberry

All clinics are not 'ambulatory surgical centers,' but there is oversight, standards

Says "Abortion clinics in Oregon, as in most states, have no state oversight and are not held to basic health or safety standards."

A valid concern, incorrectly described

Under President Barack Obama, "8.3 (million) fewer Americans are working today than there were four years ago."

Ron DeSantis

Insurance costs far more than tax

The tax penalty that the government imposes if you don't buy health insurance "is lower than it would have cost to buy insurance."

Terry McAuliffe

Company didn't address state concerns

Says Virginia economic development officials "decided they didn’t want to bid on" his company's electric automobile plant.

Barbara Buono

Outrageously wrong

Says Chris Christie’s plan "to kick-start our economy" is to propose an "income tax cut that disproportionately benefits the wealthy, and...he's still proposing it."

Jackie Speier

Poll includes 'current or lapsed' NRA members

"Even members of the NRA, when they were polled recently, were under the impression that everyone has a criminal background check."

Bernie Sanders

2010 was highest rate in 17 years, but available data doesn't support sweeping claim

"Poverty levels (are) at an all-time high."

George P. Bush

Closer to two decades

Says Texas will be "majority Hispanic in six years."

Jennette Gayer

Not much hot air here.

"Wind powers nearly 13 million homes across the country."
