Schumer Calls for Improved Gun Database

 Sen. Charles Schumer is calling for an improved gun database -- following the death last week of NYPD officer Dillon Stewart, who was shot with a stolen gun.

Schumer says he wants all states to be required to report stolen guns and guns involved in crimes to a nationwide database. Right now, only about 25 states voluntarily report such weapons.

Speaking at a press conference Sunday, the senator also proposed sentencing convicted drug traffickers to 20 years in prison -- up from the 10 years they face now.

Of the illegal guns recovered in New York City between 1988 and 2003, Schumer said, 92 percent were from out of state.

Patrolmen's Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch appeared with Schumer, calling the changes "mandatory.''

The wake for Stewart will be held Monday.

Mr. Schumer once again takes some time out of his busy day to bathe in the blood of the fallen, and to try and make everyone but the person who committed the crime pay for it.

What a guy.

It seems that, every day, Schumer is bellowing about some "liberal" cause.  One might suspect that he's trying to advance his career options.  :roll:
One might suspect that he's afraid that his fellow senator from NY might get more notice than he. :shock:
I suspect that he hasn't learned a darn thing from the Gore and Kerry defeats.

He should take a good look at our "well thought out" gun registration up here is Canada.  I think we have spent $2 Billion and counting..........
Crime must be down up here.  We should inform the criminals!
