Schumer Asks Trump to 'Break from the NRA...And Work With Us'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told a news conference on Tuesday he's sent a letter to President Trump, asking for a meeting to discuss gun control.

"I have requested of the President to call us together, Democrats and Republicans, to come up with a reasonable solution. Before he was a candidate and marched in lockstep to the NRA, Donald Trump expressed a very reasonable position on gun control," Schumer said.

Schumer described the National Rifle Association, a group that supports Americans' constitutional right to keep and bear arms, as a swamp:

"Look, this is, I mean, this is the swamp. A small, powerful lobby that represents a vast minority, a very small minority of Americans, seems to have a stranglehold on the Republican Party. And, that shouldn't be.

"Reasonable?" He has the audacity to use that word when it comes to discussing anything concerning guns with democrats?

You're talking to a former Kommiefornian, here, Schumer, you moron. "Reasonable" is only what RATs want it to be, viz. the elimination of 1) the 2nd Amendment and 2) total confiscation of private ownership of all firearms.

Sorry, we've been around that track too many times. Now it's strictly "no compromise." Not with the Constitution. Not with our guns, mags or ammo.

Schmucky always climbs up on the still warm bodies to push his leftist agenda.

Remember the democrat creed:

"You never let a serious crisis go to waste.
It's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

[[Darned DemocRATS and their “knee-jerk” reaction
is how the “SAFE ACT” got passed in New York State without
even being read by the DemocRATicly controlled State Senate !]]

In the dead of night, with NO presentation to the public before it was passed- NY claimed an ‘imminent need’ after sandy hook shooting to get it passed without the people voting on it- claimed it was to ‘prevent loss of life due to military style features on guns’- billed it ass an ‘emergency measure’ to ‘prevent loss of life’

And the damned courts upheld it too

He's referring to democcrats and other libtards so the correct term would be "Half-Vast".

I saw the same expression on Chuckle's face on an ex-girlfriend's cat looking up from rooting through its litter box for tidbits, Image and video hosting by TinyPic chewing, smiling, showing its teeth.

Vote it up Chuck. Let’s see how many red state dems like Manchin, McCaskill, or Tester want to put their political futures on the line.

It’s not only money that makes the NRA powerful it’s the voting block.

Is it a vast minority or a small minority?
Chuckie can’t even complete a coherent sentence.
