A new image is making it's way around the internet attacking Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for being a strong gun control advocate while at the same time having a Conceal/Carry permit.
According to www.ontheissues.org some of Senator Schumer's record on guns are as follows:
Schumer has denied having a hand gun or a permit for one and has produced a letter from NYPD stating that neither he nor his wife Iris Weinshall has a hand-gun license from NYC. In a statement from Brian Fallon, a Schumer aide he "insisted that except for winning an NRA marksmanship award at age 14, the senator does not own a gun or have a license to carry one." The document in question can be viewed below.
According to www.ontheissues.org some of Senator Schumer's record on guns are as follows:
Enforce gun laws on national security grounds
"Unless the President personally intervenes here, it looks like terrorists are going to have an even easier time avoiding detection by law enforcement. The President has a choice: He can give the NRA a Christmas present and make it easier for an Al-Qaeda operative to avoid the police, get a gun and shoot up a mall. Or he can do the right thing, keep the Brady Bill intact and keep the public safe. We can either wait for a terror attack to happen or we can act now to close these kind of loopholes. Washington has now been warned time and time again about ways terrorists can exploit our loopholes to get guns. By ignoring these warnings, the President and his allies in Congress are putting the country at risk." - Source: Press Release, ‘NRA-Backed Plan in budget bill’ , Dec 2, 2003
Renew assault weapons ban - no legitimate use for them
"“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” To let the assault weapons ban expire just as we are realizing its benefits would be a major setback in the success we’ve had in reducing crime over the last decade. The fact of the matter is that there is no legitimate use for these weapons. That was as true in 1994 as it is today. The bottom line is that the assault weapons ban is working and we are safer because of it." - Source: Press Release ‘ATF data’ , Nov 5, 2003
Penalize cross-state gun traffickers
"Lax gun laws in one state translate into murder and mayhem in another. New York criminals have difficulty finding New York guns. The guns often come from states that do not believe in restricting guns beyond what is prescribed by federal law. Where there is a weak spot in the law, criminals are ready to exploit it, so we need to strengthen federal law enforcement’s ability to go after gun runners no matter what state they set up shop in." - Source: Statement, ‘Study: Southern Guns, NY Crimes’ , Sep 17, 2003Fore more visit www.ontheissues.com
