CHUCK SHUMER'S AMERICA: full of gun-free felons.

So ... if my wife and I go on a 10-day cruise, leaving our weapons in locked cases in a locked house, we're felons? If I let my 40-year-old son take my handgun to a gun range for target practice on a day when I have to go to work, I'm a felon?

S.374, the Senate bill containing Sen. Shumer's amendment passed the Judiciary Committee on a 10-8 party-line vote this afternoon.
