Look ma no gun, Look ma no head

Has a history of being a slime ball

He Has Protection On Call. God forbid you have the same advantage.

So Sen. Shumer, a slimy little character from New York. Who like another slimy little dirt bag congressmen from N.Y who resigned. Loves to be in front of a camera and God help anyone who gets between him and the lens. Comes out with a statement after the President of the NRA suggests that we should have guards or teachers who are trained in the use of fire arms in schools. To help deter massacres. Like the one that took place in Newtown Ct. The Senator's response was as ridiculous and empty as his head. He said that we should not protect with guns, but rather prevent guns from getting into the bad guys hands.  Mr. Shumer, or as he now likes to be called, Chuck and I had the occasion to meet, many years ago at a political dinner. As well as other places that I can not recall , as it was more than 3 decades ago. When I experimented with running for political office. An experience that was neither pleasant or fruitful. He seemed to personify, then as now. The adage that " politics is the game of public service for personal gain". As a matter of fact I see him as the poster child of that adage.

Gun Crimes in N.Y. C Highest According To FBI
Keeping guns out of the bad guys hands hasn't been to much of success in N.Y.C. Much as it has not been in other major cities. Only the gun laws in N.Y.C. have been on the books since 1911. When a man named Big Tim Sullivan. A congressman and then N.Y. State legislator. Produced by the Tammany political machine. A corrupt and insidious group of men with ties to thieves crooks and murders. As well as the father of the present democratic machine in N.Y.  It is thought that Big Tim was eager to sponsor the legislation for his own nefarious purposes. It was an effort to keep the guns out of the hands of newly arrived Italian immigrants. Who were seen as a threat to the Irish gangs that Mr. Sullivan was known to have a fond relationships with.This statute is the most stringent of all gun laws in the U.S.

Only the Bad Guys will Have Guns
Mr. Shumer, at last count there are 2 million guns on the streets of the Big Apple. Guns that should not be on those streets and neighbor hoods. In a two year period, from 2003 to 2005 of the more than 1600 murders in the city, 90 % involved a guns. Now so much for your keeping firearms out of the hands of bad guys hands.The guns that you are so worried will be bought in another state, are already here. Guns do not just go away. Nor are they bio-degradable like garbage bags. Those two million guns are out there and they are in the hands of  the bad guys. You think it is good to keep them out of the good guys hands. Which only results in the bad guys having them. Which leaves those good citizens with their fingers up their rear ends. There are about 28000, police officers in N.Y.C. Hardly enough to protect 8 million people. So Chuck. when you can guarantee me that there are no guns out there that can harm me or my family. I will accede to your way of thinking. Which I might add has a history of being wrong or just plaid dumb.
