Sen. Schumer elaborates<\/a> on his previous comments<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.<\/a>, said the “broad middle” will continue to press for action on a measure hammered out by a pair of pro-gun senators that would expand background checks on gun purchases …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Translation: \u00a0More astroturf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This has not gone very well so far. \u00a0Because the antigunners cannot generate any significant turnout by themselves, Schumer\/Obama\/Cuomo have turned to traditional left-leaning groups not otherwise associated with gun control for help. \u00a0This didn’t work when Cuomo tried it with the unions and Schumer’s dog and pony show with the Obama-zombies wasn’t any better.<\/p>\n

Any details on the legislation?<\/p>\n

“… “My own little prediction \u2013 I think we’re going to bring this bill back before the end of the year and I think you may find some changes,” said Schumer, during a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor<\/a>. \u00a0“We may change the bill a little bit \u2013 but I think you may find some changes out there in the public. \u00a0Lots of senators who thought it was safe to vote against it because of the intensity are not so sure anymore.” …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Translation: Same bill, but with more B.S. marketing.<\/p>\n
