Sen. Schumer Asks Gun Retailers To
Stop Sales As Congress Debates

Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:PChristopher, 1/14/2013 1:57:13 AM

Sen. 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.

Comments:
Senator Schumer? Could you please stop talking while we´re selling guns? Thanks awfully, old boy!

I hope gun dealers ignore him.I didn´t see where Chuckie offered the dealers gov´t money to make up for lost revenues. Has he called the hardware stores to ask them to stop selling hammers?

This is nothing but a set up. If dealers go along with it,they can say "see,we really don´t need to be selling these..

Senator Schumer, how about we suspend all armed security provided to congress while they discuss gun regulation legislation? Also let´s close all those guarded tunnels that run from one federal building to another, so congress people don´t have to expose themselves to the unwashed ordinary citizens up above. Just paint a big sign on the Capitol saying, "gun free zone"? Tell the Capitol guards to leave their firearms in the front office, while locking up the ammo in a separate room. There. That ought to do it. You´ll show your sincerity , right?

If you have your license to carry concealed in Texas, you can carry in the capitol moving amongst all the political critters. Funny world we live in Texas. We seceded 150 years ago but we believe in the Constitution, and even secession was likely Constitutional.

It would have been interesting to see if Sumter was recognized as US property and allowed to exist as well as other forts and bases, what would have happened. Just a curious mental exercise.

No, gun and ammo sales skyrocketed when Schumer and the other governmental morons started talking about "gun control" and confiscation.

It is my understanding that Chuckie has a concealed carry permit. Before he talks about others giving up thier weapons he needs to publicly surrender his and turn in his ccp.

In that some major firearms manufacturers are HQd in NY, schumer is biting the tax revenue hand that feeds his big government programs. chuck is "cruzin for a bruzin." I hope the NY based manufacturers tell chuck to go take a "hike" which is code for schumer, and solicit offers to other states like Wyoming, Utah and Idaho which would no doubt welcome them and their hundreds of manufacturing jobs.

Obama criticized for using

As President Obama prepares to head to Colorado on Wednesday to push gun control legislation, some are calling into question the validity of a key statistic he’s using to tout his message on near-universal background checks. During several speeches, Obama has said 40 percent of all gun purchases were made without a background check. But that number is nearly two decades old and comes from a poll with a relatively tiny sample size.

Lawmakers in the US state of Connecticut have agreed to a sweeping set of gun restrictions, including a ban on new high-capacity magazines. The proposal requires background checks on all gun sales and expands the state´s assault weapons ban. It comes as new federal gun measures appear to have stalled in Congress.

Hit Cable Series on the Rise
as Broadcasters Suffer
Record-Low Ratings

Amid a backdrop of record-low ratings for some broadcast shows, cable is feeling pretty good about its prospects in this year’s upfront advertising sales derby. For the season, ad-supported cable as a group has opened up a bigger ratings advantage over the Big Four – and has beaten the broadcasters in the 18-49 demo on a regular basis in a handful of timeslots. But cablers still feel slighted by Madison Avenue because they rarely command ad rates that are commensurate with broadcasters. That may not change this year, but the tipping point feels like it’s getting closer.

President Barack Obama´s bid to renew a ban against military-style assault weapons narrowly won the backing of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday and headed to the full Senate, where it appears certain to fail. On a party line vote of 10-8, the Democratic-led panel approved a bill to renew a ban similar to one that expired in 2004. The measure would also limit high-capacity ammunition clips to 10 bullets.

This administration certainly loves drones, but even that ardent passion has limits. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Tuesday put a stop to production of a medal that was to be awarded to drone operators, and not a moment too soon. It wasn’t just the idea of the Distinguished Warfare Medal that offended good sense. The real outrage was ignited by the goofy idea to give it precedence over medals awarded for bravery and valor.

As Winter Storm Saturn heads farther east into the Atlantic Ocean, the rain and snow mixture in the Mid-Atlantic States will come to an end Wednesday night. The storm dumped up to 20 inches of snow in western Virginia on Wednesday. Temperatures were just barely mild enough to prevent any major accumulations in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Farther north, a rain and snow mixture changing to all snow will spread into the New York City metro area and southern New England Wednesday evening into early Thursday accompanied by strong, gusty winds.

In the video above, friend Juan Oliphant, captures the incredible moment the 27-year-old catches a ´tail ride´ through the deep.

Oberlin College, known as much for ardent liberalism as for academic excellence, canceled classes on Monday and convened a “day of solidarity” after the latest in a monthlong string of what it called hate-related incidents and vandalism. At an emotional gathering in the packed 1,200-seat campus chapel, the college president, Marvin Krislov, apologized on behalf of the college to students who felt threatened by the incidents and said classes were canceled for “a different type of educational exercise,” one intended to hold “an honest discussion, even a difficult discussion.”

Mayor Bloomberg was booed yesterday as he walked in the annual St. Patrick’s Parade in the hurricane-ravaged Rockaways. The jeers grew so loud toward the end of the Queens parade that mayoral candidate and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn appeared to break away from the mayor to march separately. A spokesman for Quinn later said she always intended to walk separately from the mayor.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
