I can see it now:

"You don't need a zoom lens to photograph your grandmother,
you don't need a motor drive to photograph a flower, and you
definitely don't need one of those concealable and silenced
Leica M cameras that let you photograph people unobtrusively."

Feinstein is one of those people that try to control human
behaviour by legislation of objects.  She has a perfect
record of not understanding what she's trying to control.
