His 2nd ammendment ideas are a disaster for any gun owners (the legal ones that is). His view only helps the criminals.
Yeah dont count on anything Schumer does is good. He is out to line his pockets and is the big pusher behind the catskills tapping project. If this ever happens it will not go undone without red tape and a taxable income from doing it. I have contacted the state DEC many times in the past about tapping trees on state land and the guy on the phone specifically told me it would be easier for me to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. I asked him to put that in writting he said no lol.
