Gun Owners of America Urges Congress to Repeal Chuck Schumer Gun Control Regulation
Gun Owners of America (GOA) is urging Congress to repeal a 20th century gun control regulation put in place by then Representative Chuck Schumer; a man who has now made a name as one of the most anti-Second Amendment members of the U.S. Senate.
The regulation was added as an amendment to the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act (1986). It focuses on denying federal help to citizens who have lost constitutional rights and are seeking to regain them.
GOA explains:
The Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986 contained a provision which would allow persons subject to a gun ban to regain their constitutional rights.
Make no mistake about it: The procedure is no “piece of cake.” A person has to convince the ATF that they don’t represent a danger, or, failing that, they have to convince a federal court. But even this is too much for the gun-hating Schumer. For roughly 25 years, the “Schumer amendment” to the Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations Bill has prohibited any federal funds from being used to restore anyone’s constitutional rights.
What this is translated into is a near-impossible battle to regain one’s right to keep and bear arms, even after past mistakes, crimes, or mental problems have been amended and/or remedied. GOA says, “If a person were a veteran with PTSD, they’re out of luck. If they had a conviction for a federal regulatory offense — fifty years ago — they’re out of luck. They will NEVER get their guns back, thanks to Democrat Chuck Schumer.”
