Sen. Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation.
Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium.
The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn....

I have not idea what an "assault weapon" is, and I own many semi auto rifles.
But.... There is a rifle that shoots table salt... the A Salt Gun A Salt Gun (link)
That makes it "A Salt Weapon".... so that is close.
I have a Dick’s duffel bag I won as a door prize. Because they decided to screw over the law-abiding post-Newtown, I won’t even use the bag again in public, much less buy stuff at their store.
I doubt anyone on FR thinks that’s too extreme, but just in case you do, ask yourself how you’d react if some retailer refused to sell goods to churches because of Westboro Baptist.
Oops, “in case you do” should have been “in case they do.” Sorry.
Government should suspend some laws and regulations to get the economy going and for the good of the people. Think they will do it?
Schumer is an ass as are the stupid people who keep voting for this fool.
Hey, Schmuckie, your big fat mouth is YOUR living.
Why don't you put THAT "on suspension" for a while...at no pay.
("on suspension"....i.e., like forever).
Leni
How about the feds suspend incurring any additional costs until a budget is presented and approved?
It's good that duck huntin' guns come mostly in size 12 while that destructive device with it's short barrel and all in your pic comes in size 22. I'd guess that subsonic rounds might constitute use of a virtual silencer.
I just bought one of those things. Looks like fun. Thanks for the link! One day very soon it might be the only gun we are allowed here in NY.
If by “suspend”, he means “on back order for the next three years”, he might be fairly accurate. If the gun control nuts keep this up, the Mexican drug cartels will make more money smuggling “assault weapons” into the US, for sale, than drugs.
Imagine the puzzlement from the ATF agent when he gets an offer from a Mexican criminal to buy a “genuine Fast & Furious gun, with certified legal papers signed by Attorney General Holder. Ees legal in the US!”
That means they’ll have to stop selling baseball bats, hockey sticks, guitars, hand tools, power tools golf clubs...
Sen. Charles Schumer says..........
That enough for me, FU Chuck
18+1 now reduced to 14+1 IIRC.
Ask not what your country can do to you, but what you can do to yourself in advance.
THANK YOU SCHUMER AND FRIENDS!!!
You just keep talking....everytime you open your mouth more people buy guns and ammo!
Schumer, the 2nd Amendment was put in place to protect us specifically from a hole tyrants like you and your Obamunist comrades. F YOU!
LOL! Ever notice Chucky Boy always opens his yap on the week-end? This schmuck can’t get enough of hearing and seeing himself on the news. He always pick the week-end though so it’s not till Monday before anybody can counter his bs. He’s the worst piece of crap ever to stink up the Senate.
