Charles Schumer: Gun-control deal means NY could be 'swamped' by out-of-staters with concealed arms

New York would be forced to honor concealed-weapons permits from the other 49 states under proposals advanced in the Senate by allies of the National Rifle Association as part of a broader gun control deal, Sen. Charles Schumer warned Sunday.

In a release issued Sunday, Schumer (D-N.Y.) said New York, which requires stringent screenings of concealed-carry applicants, could be "swamped by armed individuals from out of state carrying hidden and loaded firearms."

But Rockland County Legis. Frank Sparaco (R-Valley Cottage), a critic of parts of New York's SAFE Act gun control law, applauded the reciprocal carry proposal as a "wonderful idea" akin to the agreement under which licenses let motorists drive in any state. He maintained that the right to bear arms is protected absolutely under the Second Amendment.

For the life of me I don't understand why Schumer et. al. don't recognize this for what it is,

You don't understand the mindset of anti-gunners. They aren't against guns. They are against ordinary citizens with guns. They worship the power of the state. They probably read Solzhenitsyn and realize that armed citizenry is a check to unlimited government power. This will never do. To people like Schemer any thing that puts a check on what the government can do is evil. Good citizens/bad citizens - these concepts are irrelevant and long as the citizens are powerless to resist the government.

Anti-gunners like Schemer cannot be bargained with. First they NEVER keep their side of the bargain, and Second, they have nothing to offer. They demand everything from you and give nothing in return. Their idea of a compromise is to demand you give up A, B, C, and D and then settle for "only" taking A, B, and C. Immediately they'll come back and then demand that the D "loophole" be gotten rid of.

They cannot be reasoned with. Many people make the mistake that if they present a logical argument anti-guners will see the eror of their ways. Not true. Anti-gunners' objectives are not based on logic except the relentless logic that a disarmed populace is a populace helpless to resist the most extreme excesses of the government. And that is their end goal. and I quote "A populace where only the police and military are armed."

They feel no remorse. When they're successful at taking some of your rights, they feel elation , but immediately start working on taking the rest.

And they never stop, ever. There are only three outcomes possible

1. They win and we are enslaved with the jackboot of government on our necks forever
2. We are killed by their beloved police heroes "resisting"
3. We kill enough of them and their goons so that their menace is temporarily abated.

It isn't just Schemer, but his supporters like this b***h from Atlanta

"Rabbi" Elana Perry. There are a large number of people who want to force their ideas on others, and they look to the government to do it for them. They're really stupid, because what they don't realize is that what the government can do to one group it can do to them too. Of course, it never occurs to them until it's too late.

OH Yeh Chuck, gun owners can’t wait to visit NY. Its their number one destination.

[Gritty]

I don't understand why Schumer et. al. don't recognize this for what it is, i.e. a GOOD THING. Concealed carry licensee are, as a class, some of the best citizens on the planet.

Chucky "Capo" Schumer isn't the least bit interested in good citizens being able to carry guns, and most especially in New York - which is "his" turf.

No. He's interested in disarming those decent and Constitutionally aware people at all costs, turning them into "criminals" so he can use the power of government to destroy them, and then get the dumb slobs who are left over to reelect he and his criminal buddies forever.

Remember the Florida tourist shootings?

Ummm… That’s basically the background check.

[RFEngineer]

“Ummm… That’s basically the background check.”

Not really. You have to fill out the form and the paperwork gets filed at the dealers location. It should be easier, and no paperwork required with proper ID.

[MasterGunner01]

Why would NY state be swamped by out-of-state CCW holders? Is there a unlimited bag limit policy on corrupt liberal politicians and judges? If this were only true, it would put the fun back into urban hunting.

[MHGinTN]

When their planned collapse arrives, the season will be open with no bag limit.

[who knows what evil?]

Get a grip, Chuckie...gun owners swamping your state would only last as long as it takes to them to drive thru Red York while fleeing Red England for southern states...

[sarge83]

It also means we could be saddled with your idiotic and utterly useless limitations and registration ChuckU.

As squid head said on Star Wars—”It’s a trap!”

But alas our sellouts in Washington will make sure we take the bait, hook-line-and sinker. Republicans, the only political party that needs to be placed on suicide watch 24/7/52.
