fyi, I keep seeing this report linked in numerous articles and media statements. However, the Chuck Schumer site which lists ALL his press releases does not show one.
NEW YORK (AP) - Senator Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.
Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium. The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. Schumer says Congress is debating the issue, and if measures get passed that limit these type of weapons, it won’t help if more of them have recently been sold.
President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give him a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence this week. (link)
And, of course, everyone will immediately comply. Oh boy. This really takes balls and shows just how far out of touch he is to reality. Every single word spoken for gun control is an ad to buy guns. Currently Obama, Biden and Feinstein are neck and neck in the running for salesman of the month. We just might be entering a buying panic stage. No one can keep
itup with demand, or so I read.Going by the dramatic increase in new background checks along with NRA membership, I suspect many of these are first time buyers. Atta boy…
I meant
No one can keep UP with demand
“Little. Chuckie schumer” what a shameless schmiel.
He’s trying to shut down lawful commerce? Don’t we call that “fascism?”
This is what he said,
“If we continue to see 80 k in sales each month of guns , it will be counter productive to any solution we implement in the future”.
That is just a little scary. Sounds like he already knows what they are going to do and any discussion amounts to a delay in what they want.
If it was their standard policy, you could almost understand it. But this thought process doesn’t apply to the debt or to government overspending and it most certainly doesn’t apply to illegal immigration.
With such a narrow minded, one demential view of the topic of gun control, the sad part is there will be no end to the violence or tragedies they are trying to stop.
“…there will be no end to the violence or tragedies they are trying to stop”
That’s not their goal to begin with so that will be of no concern to them.
They are ideologues they have an agenda
We are patriots we have a country to save..
FT Not to put a fine point on it
If you ever want a perfect example of a Nebbish, you’ve got it with Mr. Scheisse, if you excuse my Jiddish. What a POS – always been.
How about a WH petition for chuckie to stfu for a decade or charged with treason?
I’m wondering how many of these idiots secretly have stock in gun manufactorers. If so they’re …ok..no need to say hipocrit again.
I still can’t get past the mountain of evidence that we still don’t know what really happened at Sandy Hook. Adam Lanza seems more like a convenient patsy than a real suspect. How about we have a moratorium on the gun control debate, until we get the actual facts of what happened. If there is a cover-up and the Obama admin is involved — well all of our Obama issues will go away in one fell impeachment vote swoop.
Here’s a little Lanza tidbit I stumbled on yesterday. I must have missed it earlier.

It sure didn’t with Fast & Furious, nor Benghazi.
Awwww….poor guy….he has sen that the American people are voting with their feet and he wants to stop that. Sorry Chucky, it not their job to pander to you, it is not your job to neuter the secnd amendment, however it is your job to create a budget. Go do your job!

I keep repeating a paraphrase of a famous quote in my head, with every new news article I read:
We are meeting the enemy folks, and they are us.
