| Chuck Schumer Pushes $1.5 Billion for Gun Control | |
| 2022-02-01 | |
The New York Post reported that Schumer wants to use the funds to get the ATF behind the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns. The task force is ubiquitously aimed at getting illegal guns off the streets of New York. Schumer commented his desire to get the ATF involved in the task force, saying, “The ABCs of beating back the scourge of gun violence depends on three federal letters: A, T, and F.” He added, “I am pushing for $1.5 billion dollars in federal funds for the agency, so they can help with this work and do much more at the national level … Without the $1.5 billion … these plans will not have their full impact, and we need full impact to address the flow of these crime guns in our communities and across our state.” Schumer’s $1.5 billion gun control push comes after NYPD officer Jason Rivera was shot and killed on January 21, 2022, and NYPD officer Wilbert Mora was shot and fatally wounded in the same attack. FOX News observed that the shooting suspect in the attack was “on probation for a 2003 felony narcotics conviction in New York City.” New York has some of the most stringent gun controls in the nation, including a gun control that bars felons from possessing firearms.

| #3 #1 meanwhile the Left has never given up supporting actual human sacrifice aka abortion. It's the gangs Chuck, its the gangs. Those created by you and yours with your imbecilic Great Society programs that removed fathers in nuclear families and substituted the state. What was the out of wedlock births and crime rates in 1960 among the one community so much crime and violence originates today? /rhet question |
