Your headline is misleading. It implies that Schumer made the statement!

"And while some might not believe in the second amendment, I believe in the second amendment. I do not agree with those that think the second amendment should be interpreted almost in a nonexistent way just for militias, and then we should broadly interpret all the others. But just like you can't scream fire in a crowded theater--that's a limitation on our first amendment rights--there are limitations on the second amendment as well, and some of uh, my friends believe there should be no limitations, and that's where I disagree with them."
