| Sen. Charles Schumer says retailers that sell assault weapons should stop offering them for purchase while Congress discusses gun regulation legislation. Schumer on Sunday released a letter he sent to major retailers asking for a voluntary moratorium. The New York Democrat says consumer demand for guns has gone up in the weeks since the December mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

I was going to ask Senator Schumer to stop breathing while we´re selling guns, but stopping talking would likely kill him anyway!

I hope gun dealers ignore him.I didn´t see where Chuckie offered the dealers gov´t money to make up for lost revenues. Has he called the hardware stores to ask them to stop selling hammers?
This is nothing but a set up. If dealers go along with it,they can say "see,we really don´t need to be selling these..

Senator Schumer, how about we suspend all armed security provided to congress while they discuss gun regulation legislation? Also let´s close all those guarded tunnels that run from one federal building to another, so congress people don´t have to expose themselves to the unwashed ordinary citizens up above. Just paint a big sign on the Capitol saying, "gun free zone"? Tell the Capitol guards to leave their firearms in the front office, while locking up the ammo in a separate room. There. That ought to do it. You´ll show your sincerity , right?

If you have your license to carry concealed in Texas, you can carry in the capitol moving amongst all the political critters. Funny world we live in Texas. We seceded 150 years ago but we believe in the Constitution, and even secession was likely Constitutional.
It would have been interesting to see if Sumter was recognized as US property and allowed to exist as well as other forts and bases, what would have happened. Just a curious mental exercise.

No, gun and ammo sales skyrocketed when Schumer and the other governmental morons started talking about "gun control" and confiscation.

It is my understanding that Chuckie has a concealed carry permit. Before he talks about others giving up thier weapons he needs to publicly surrender his and turn in his ccp.

In that some major firearms manufacturers are HQd in NY, schumer is biting the tax revenue hand that feeds his big government programs. chuck is "cruzin for a bruzin." I hope the NY based manufacturers tell chuck to go take a "hike" which is code for schumer, and solicit offers to other states like Wyoming, Utah and Idaho which would no doubt welcome them and their hundreds of manufacturing jobs.

And at the same time Bloomie is telling NYC doctors what they can and can´t prescribe to suffering patients. The D obviously now stands for Demigod. NYC pols aren´t really worse than their fellow demigods, they´re just more in your face about it.

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, a co-author and key proponent of the Senate immigration bill, said he will revoke his support if an amendment is added that allows gay Americans to petition for same-sex spouses living abroad to secure a green card. "If this bill has in it something that gives gay couples immigration rights and so forth, it kills the bill. I´m done," Rubio said Thursday during an interview on the Andrea Tantaros Show. "I´m off it, and I´ve said that repeatedly. I don´t think that´s going to happen and it shouldn´t happen.

Steven Spielberg on Wednesday predicted an "implosion" in the film industry is inevitable, whereby a half dozen or so $250 million movies flop at the box office and alter the industry forever. What comes next -- or even before then -- will be price variances at movie theaters, where "you´re gonna have to pay $25 for the next Iron Man, you´re probably only going to have to pay $7 to see Lincoln." He also said that Lincoln came "this close" to being an HBO movie instead of a theatrical release.

After the U.S. Senate voted to pass the motion to proceed to floor debate on the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed that this bill would solve illegal immigration and secure the border. “Illegal immigration will be a thing of the past,” Schumer said on the Senate floor, celebrating the passage of the motion to proceed. Schumer complained in an impassioned and lengthy speech on the Senate floor that opponents saying the bill does not have border security “is not fair.”

The Department of Justice told top congressional investigators Monday it has not challenged a single instance of a federal agency withholding records from Freedom of Information (FOIA) requestors since 2009. Principal deputy assistant attorney general Peter Kadzik said in a letter to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Monday that while the department’s Office of Information Policy gives guidance to other agencies on proper applications of FOIA exemptions, it has not determined that any of those exemptions were improper in four years.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
