It
will take the passing of quite some time before many Americans can erase
the image of the Senate's new Democratic Minority Leader Charles "Chuck"
Schumer being overly emotional when describing President Donald Trump’s
ban on unvetted Muslims from seven terrorist-havens in the Middle East.
What
most Americans believe is a common-sense policy appeared to have caused
the career politician to choke back tears in his favorite place -- in
front of TV cameras and microphones. "Schumer -- battle-hardened
partisan -- appeared to have a difficult time talking about Trump’s
temporary ban on Muslim
refugee resettlement. Schumer labeled Trump’s executive order “mean-spirited
and un-American,” which sounded like a political symphony to the
Trump-hating propaganda meisters covering the Schumer performance.
"This
political hack really gets my goat! He's been a member of both houses
of Congress for many, many years and I've never seen Schumer holding tears
back after thousands of Americans were killed fighting the enemy -- Islamic
terrorists. He never shed a single tear for the victims of the Benghazi
attack. He's a disgrace as an American not to mention a shady Senator,"
says Schumer's fellow New Yorker, Henry McGrath, a retired NYPD cop.
Schumer
has also been quoted as saying, “Tears are running down the cheeks
of the Statue of Liberty tonight as a grand tradition of America, welcoming
immigrants, that has existed since America was founded has been stomped
on.”
"Senate
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is the chief obstructionist of domestic
policies and appointments of President Donald Trump," well-known
police adviser and former NRA publications editor John
M. Snyder noted this week.
"Schumer
opposes the civil right to keep and bear arms as well as the civil right
to life itself," Snyder added.
President
Trump himself has called Schumer the "clown
of clowns," while top talk show host -- and former Justice Department
chief of staff -- Mark Levin called him a hypocrite since Schumer is a
staunch "gun-grabber" who wishes to disarm American citizens
while he packs a concealed handgun and is usually surrounded by armed
protection officers.
"Hopefully,"
Snyder said, "there are enough patriots in the Senate Democratic
Caucus to overcome Schumer's attempts to thwart the will of voters as
expressed last November in the victory they gave Trump for his America
first positions."
"Schumer
plots to prevent Senate confirmation of Supreme Court nominees who support
the right to life and the right to keep and bear arms. He worked to derail
the appointment of gun rights and life rights supporter Sen. Jeff Sessions
(R-AL) as Attorney General," said the top spokesperson for gun rights.
Snyder
said, "Sen. Schumer is a leading opponent of the right to life and
of the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of life. He promotes
abortion and even partial birth abortion. He promotes bans on the acquisition
and use of firearms and certain types of firearms by law-abiding citizens.
Citizens want them for the defense of life as well as for other legitimate
purposes."
"Schumer,
the 'clown
of clowns,' is a leading spokesman in the United States today for
what St. John Paul termed the 'culture of death.'"
Snyder
pointed out that, "Clown Schumer attacks President Trump as a hard
right guy. But the Senate Minority Leader himself is a ring leader of
the loony left. Voters have dumped these nut cakes. Senators should approve
Trump's pick for Attorney General. They should reject Schumer's plan to
hold up approval of Supreme Court nominees.
"They
also should enact legislation in support of the right to life and of the
right to keep and bear arms. Among the latter is the proposed Concealed
Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, H.R.
38, by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) with 140 cosponsors.
H.R.
38 "would require states to recognize the validity of every other
state's gun carry licenses, but it would require concealed carriers to
follow the specific laws of whatever state in which they are carrying,"
reported the Washington Free Beacon.
The
bill "ads language designed to ensure that those in Constitutional
Carry states, where no permit is required to concealed carry, are protected
by the legislation," continued the Beacon.
The
bill also would allow concealed carry in the National Park System, the
National Wildlife Refuge System, and on lands under the authority of the
Bureau of Land Management, Army Corps of Engineers, and Bureau of Reclamation.
H.R.
38 has been referred to the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives.
"We
need national reciprocity for concealed gun carry," said Snyder.
"A
positive state CCW or concealed carry policy enables a qualified individual
to carry a particular concealed firearm within his or her state of jurisdiction
if legally permitted to do so," Snyder noted.
"With
national reciprocity, a state-issued CCW permit would be honored throughout
the country, similar to the way in which state-issued driving permits
now are honored throughout the country," he added.
"In
a survey of United States police chiefs and sheriffs conducted last year
by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, over 86 percent said
they supported nationwide recognition of state issued concealed weapons
permits," Snyder.
"With
President Trump now in office and with Republicans in charge of both houses
of Congress, proponents of the individual Second Amendment civil right
to keep and bear arms can and should advance the American freedom agenda,"
Snyder said.
"In
addition to fostering national reciprocity for concealed firearm carry,"
he added, "Washington should slash the law enforcement funding of
cities and states following policies contrary to the spirit of the Second
Amendment, and repeal federal laws interfering with Second Amendment liberties."
A practicing
Catholic, Snyder has been named "the dean of Washington gun lobbyists"
by the Washington Post and New York Times, "a champion of the right
of self-defense" by the Washington Times, the "gun dean"
by Human Events, and "the senior rights activist in Washington"
by Shotgun News. The Trace designated him a power broker.
He holds
AB and MA degrees in government from Georgetown University. He has been
an NRA magazine editor and official of the Citizens Committee for the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms and Second Amendment Foundation. He directs
Telum Associates, LL.C, and serves on boards of the National
Association of Chiefs of Police, Council for America, and American
Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens.
