He's hoping the bottom line will be mightier than the bullet.

Sen. Chuck Schumer said Friday he wants the federal government to use its "massive purchasing power" to put the financial screws to gun manufacturers who deal with shady weapon sellers.

The Army is seeking bidders for a $580 million contract to replace its aging handgun arsenal, and Schumer said he wants that contract to include two safety provisions — the winning bidder must develop "smart gun" technology, and must cut off business ties with the "1 percent" of gun dealers that sell guns to criminals.


Schumer said those dealers account for "60 percent" of guns used in crimes.

"These 1 percent are merchants of death," Schumer added. "If the manufacturers wouldn't sell to these 1 percent you could choke off supply.”

He also wants the Justice Department and cities like New York to take a similar approach to buying guns.
"These 1 percent are merchants of death," Schumer added. "If the manufacturers wouldn't sell to these 1 percent you could choke off supply.”

In July, the Daily News reported that the same Georgia store — Arrowhead Pawn in Jonesboro — sold the guns used in the December murder of NYPD officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, and the killing of Omaha Officer Kerrie Orozco in May.


Schumer spoke alongside a coalition of religious leaders, the Metro-IAF, a network of citizens that has launched an anti-gun violence campaign called "Do Not Stand Idly By," at the Town and Village Synagogue in the East Village.

The group responded with loud applause when Schumer described the plan as a way for President Obama to sidestep the House of Representatives' efforts to shut down gun control bills.

"The President knows the intransigence of the hard right. He is looking for ways … on issue after issue to get things down without having to go through Congress because the House will block all these laws. These are things he can do on his own and I'm going to be asking him to do that," Schumer said.
