Chuck Schumer Hits Brakes: Gun Control Vote Will Have to Wait
Breitbart ^ | 25 May 2022 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 05/25/2022 3:13:12 PM PDT by conservative98

On Wednesday Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hit the brakes on the idea of a quick gun control vote, making clear a vote on more gun restrictions will have to wait.

Breitbart News pointed to a report the New York Times published Tuesday which said Schumer was moving quickly to “force” a vote on gun control in the Senate.

The Times noted, “Within hours of the shooting in Uvalde, Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, moved to clear the way to force votes in coming days on legislation that would strengthen background checks for gun purchasers, pushing to revive measures with broad appeal that Republicans have blocked in the past.”

But on Wednesday the Hill reported that Schumer informed his Democrat colleagues a gun control vote will have to wait because there are not enough Republican votes to get anything passed.

Somebody must have the pick of him with the 💩🍴 grin on his Stoopidness mug shooting the semi auto pistol years ago. A scorpion IIRC.

This idiot in Texas used a TEC-9?! And it took a CBP agent to take them down?

If he wanted to “force” a vote, nothing can stop him. Most Republicans will be gladly against gun control and would enjoy having their votes so noted. On the other hand, there are a handful of Democrats where voting for gun control could hurt them in the mid-terms.

Wrong idiot-—I think he meant Schumer w/TEC-9. But we got wall-to-wall idiots so it’s easy to get confused.

No, the reference to the TEC-9 was the one Chuckie Schumer was holding at a gun range years ago. Big, poop-eating grin on his face.

No, it was 💩🍴 schmuckee that had a grin on his face firing one years ago. This thread is unraveling quickly. 😂🙌

After the COVID-related disaster of the last two years, even mildly retarded Americans know damn well that nobody in government is capable of dealing with any issues of substance.
