Schumer asks President Trump to Give GOP ‘Political Cover’ on Gun Control
Breitbart ^ | 09/09/2019 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 09/10/2019 6:11:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asked President Trump to provide “political cover” for Republicans who will not otherwise support gun control. He said this during a press conference in which he announced that he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) sent a letter to Trump regarding gun control.

Schumer continued:

President Trump has an historic opportunity to save lives by indicating his support for the House-passed bill [H.R. 8]. Speaker Pelosi and I have repeatedly and personally asked him to do this.”

[President Trump] can lead his party to support something that the NRA has prevented Republicans from supporting for years. That is why Speaker Pelosi and I sent the letter to him today, urging him to give his party political cover to pass…[the] background check legislation.

Gun laws do not save lives. Look at Chicago and NY. Gun laws do get innocent people killed though.

For anyone interested, here’s a link to the bill:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/8/text

As written, all gun sales would go through an FFL. This would certainly result in a federal gun registry. The bill as written is unacceptable and must be defeated.

Hey Chuck, why the silence when Obama and Eric Holder were running guns to narcoterrorists in Mexico and forcing gun dealers to approve sales that otherwise would’ve been rejected?

Thousands have been killed by those guns including Americans.

If the President assists Schumer and Pelosi they will be the first ones to attack him for not supporting his base.

They are both total scum. Pelosi and Schumer hate you and want you to die. Buy ammo and guns.

Why would Trump risk his own re-election? ANY infringement, and he will LOSE in 2020. Count on it.

Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile. The way you handle this situation is hit them over the head with a 3/4inch galvanized steel pipe and then say “anymore questions?”

We have NICs checks you schmuck.

The loophole was created by Dems, and HIPPA laws that do not allow you to find mentally disturbed people.

This is all for SHOW!

Schumer KNOWS that if Trump agrees with the Democrats, he will NOT get re-elected - PERIOD! This is one of the few things that will drive his base OUT OF THE DOOR!

I’m pretty sure that Trump knows this as well.
