Even more on Schumer’s plan to resurrect gun control<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… At a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill this week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)<\/a> outlined a plan to bring up a new bill in the Senate<\/a> \u201cin the next three to four months,\u201d a Senate aide said Friday. \u00a0The plan includes a public relations blitz aimed at convincing some lawmakers allied with the National Rifle Association<\/a> to break with the gun lobby, the aide said …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is in line with the antis new tactic of trying to shame legislators into support gun control. \u00a0Should they be concerned?<\/p>\n

“… supporters of the background check bill are regrouping, hoping to tap into public anger to revive the measure … A group funded by Mayor Bloomberg<\/a>, Mayor\u2019s Against Illegal Guns<\/a>, arranged for supporters to make 4,000 calls to Senate offices in the last week protesting the defeat of the background check measure …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mayor Mike manages to generate 4,000 phone calls while we got 12,000 people to physically come to Albany, some driving 5-6 hours one way to get there. \u00a0This shows the considerable difference in the level of commitment between the pro and anti side.<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0Democrats say they sense some movement already …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where? \u00a0From the couple of dozen kooks<\/a>\u00a0who tried protesting outside ILA’s<\/a> office this past week?<\/p>\n
