 Schumer unveils Democratic gun control plan with plea for Trump support
By Jordain Carney - 03/01/18 01:34 PM EST

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday unveiled his caucus' three-part gun control plan and urged President Trump to "buck the NRA" to support their effort after the Florida high school shooting.

Schumer also signaled that there may be dissent within the ranks of Democrats as he announced the "comprehensive, three-part plan."

The most controversial part of the Democratic plan outlined by Schumer is a demand that a ban on assault weapons be part of the Senate debate.

"We believe there should be a debate on assault weapons on the floor of the Senate. Not every member of our caucus will support that ban but the vast majority will," Schumer told reporters.

Isn't it amazing how, whether they are in the majority or the minority, the Democrats ALWAYS control the agenda in Congress?

I really want to read the story. However, anything that contains his name and quotes conjures up the image of him peering condescendingly over those half glasses at the end of his nose and that awful nasal voice. It’s very challenging.

Democrats want to ban "assault weapons" and they get to decide what is an assault weapon. "We are going to ban assault weapons to save our children. But our children are 20 times more likely to be killed by a pistol than an assault weapon. We need to ban pistols to really save our children"

Chuckie is such a putz.
