Schumer Threatens Filibuster Over Concealed Carry Reciprocity


New York State - -(AmmoLand.com)- New York Sen. Charles Schumer announced Friday that he would do all it takes to prevent Bill S. 845 — a bill that will establish concealed carry reciprocity amongst the majority of US states, from passing the Senate including a filibuster.

    “To say that someone who gets a license in another state can then take their gun into Central Park or into Eisenhower Park without any checking with local law enforcement is appalling and could affect our safety,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a recent interview.

Schumer, estimated the amendment has the support of about 55 senators and pledged a filibuster to prevent a vote on the amendment if necessary.

In typical gun banner rhetoric Shumer is portraying this bill as trampling the existing gun laws of states like NY when the fact is this bill clearly spells out that all concealed carry holders when visiting a state other than their own would be bound by gun laws of that state.

This bill will do nothing more than allow CCW holder from other states the confidence to know that any state with reciprocity will honor their CW permit from their home state.

I am making political contacts today!

How can he say and justify that stance when he does not require the same of drivers  

Driving a vehicle, any vehicle, is not a Constitutionally protected Right; motor vehicles have been proven to be deadly, both accidently and intentionally; motor vehicles have been proven to cause air quality issues in large cities, and Central Park, even at their most efficient; enforcing of vehicle laws and maintaining roadways is supposedly more costly than fuel taxes and license fees provide; motor vehicles and their use also emit greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming   ; but there is no out cry to restrict drivers.

Just my forty-two cents worth with a sarcastic spin

I say force him to filibuster.

This should really come as no surprise.  This douchebag never met a gun control measure or gun ban that he didn't like.

Someone should point out to him that failure to pass this measure is "appalling and could affect the safety" of law-abiding gun owners who might be visiting (and leaving their money in) the state he purports to represent.

Sorry Chuckles, but any vacation plans I might've had that included your state are hereby canceled.

Once he realizes he can get tax money out of this, he will back down.
