Nice to know how our betters take care of themselves, thanks. Fienswine is authoritatively rumored to have a carry permit. I have read that the Chicago City Council have been deputized so they can carry. Remember that great proponent of gun control, the late columnist Carl Rowan shot or brandished on someone breaking and entering. He had a throw away from his son, a Federal Marshall in D.C., IIRC.
The NYT and Schumer are soulmates: arrogant, obnoxious, left-wing. While NYT does indeed seem to be making this story into a swipe at Mr. Mills (to the meager extent possible), look on the bright side: The mighty Times had to write a story it would have preferred to ignore. Schumer looks like a putz, and the Times looks like a putz for sneering at his opponent in this context.
