Not that this will come as a surprise to anyone, but the bill would also expand background check requirements.
Loss of 2nd Amendment rights for any arrest?

Chucky "Photo Op" Schumer is at it again. Who'da thunk it. And people ask me why I've never been to NY.

I doubt it shall pass. If so, then I doubt anyone will have guns in the future. Who here hasn't been arrested or talked to by the Cops for at least one thing, like drunkenness, speeding, fighting or something like that. I trust Obama would veto it, for it lacks the sort of impact needed to rally his antigun supporters while it would enrage his progun supporters.
As for the Brady Campaign, every gun is evil until proven government.

I'm not sure why he would even bother in this climate. The only explanation (beyond utter barking madness) I can surmise is that the President wants him to be the errand-boy for a dry run on gun control proposals. In this legislature, that's like sending someone to storm the Somme with a Tec-9.
Both scenarios are mildly amusing and utterly futile.

The answer is simple, this is political pandering. Pandering like this not only gets votes from a riled up "anti gun" base but also gets donations to help stop "the evil guns". Basically they are wasting your hard earned tax money on a publicity stunt designed to rile up political support.
All I can say is thank god we are in such a climate that passage of a law like this is almost impossible.

It ain't go'n NOWHERE! Heller established the RTKBA as a fundamental right and Shumer's bill will end up getting stuck up his backside. 
Its in committee anyways, so if it goes to vote, it will probably be altered. I don't think its a reason to worry - yet.

Still, since one of my Senators (D-Fienstein) is on the committee I will shoot her office an email. Some politicians still respect the fifth amendment, regardless of the 2A.
