Sen. Schumer Wants to Bar Accused From Owning Guns

John Lott at Newsmax:

A new gun law proposed by Sen. Chuck Schumer would ban people with arrests for drug violations from buying guns. Forbidding people from owning a gun without even requiring that they have been convicted of an offense?

This one hits close to home for me. Chuck Schumer has been demonizing the law-abiding firearm-owning citizens of this state for years. Since the second amendment has been deemed by the US Supreme Court an incorporated amendment, I’d like to think this law—if passed—could be easily overturned, but it still makes one a little sick to the stomach.

UPDATE: Mulling over this I am even more disgusted. This opens up an entire avenue of attack against gun owners. Gun-control advocate? Just find a vehicle of your liking displaying an NRA sticker. Plant a bag of oregano in the spare tire or the frame and call in an anonymous tip to the police. Second amendment rights instantly denied.
