Hypocrisy
Yeah, we gunnies already knew that but just to make sure we don’t forget:
Also, a check of Pistol License records shows that Senator Schumer possesses an “unrestricted” pistol permit, a rarity in New York City. Licenses are distributed in different categories in the Big Apple: Target Permits allow only use of a firearm at a licensed firing range; Premises Permits allow weapons to be kept in a home or apartment; Restricted Permits allow the gunowner to carry their firearms concealed but only within the purview of their job (security, jewelers, armored car guards, etc.). So it’s evident that Senator Schumer has two sets of rules — one for Americans and one for himself.
And then we have Senator Diane Feinstein on the Left Coast who possesses something more rare than a conservative Republican in San Francisco — an unrestricted concealed weapons permit. Apparently without shame, she participated in a citywide gun turn-in program that was intended to create some kind of statue from the donated guns that were to be melted down. One of her police body guards let it slip that she contributed a cheap model for the meltdown, while retaining her .357 magnum revolver for her own personal self-defense.

Di-Fi didn’t just “participate” in a gun turn-in program….. it was HER program!! When she was mayor of San Francisco, she pushed through their infamous handgun ban. Out of an estimated several hundred thousand handguns in the city (I’m TLTG as well) they got a whopping 40 or somesuch, most from little old ladies that didn’t want their late husband’s guns anyway.
She had them melted down, made into a huge medallion and took an entourage of close to a hundred people to visit the Pope so she could present it to him since, after all, he had been shot by a handgun. All at taxpayer expense, of course.
So, it’s even worse that she didn’t fully comply with the handgun turn-in. If she didn’t, it meant she was in violation of her own law.

Not surprised by Feinstein, I’d heard that before. Though I could have sworn she even possessed a federal level permit. But that must be rumor, since I can’t find any evidence of it. I’ve seen a couple of sites that state she doesn’t carry any longer. (Though she has a police body guard and a CCL? Paranoid?)
Schumer isn’t a real surprise, but sound highly hypocritical to me.
Great post.
