Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker is pitching a sweeping gun control agenda with more than a dozen specific elements, marking his second policy rollout in three weeks as he looks for a breakthrough moment in the crowded 2020 primary. The New Jersey senator's plan to curb gun violence centers on the creation of a national license required for all firearm owners, which would include an interview and mandatory completion of safety training. A summary released Monday by Booker's campaign says among the other elements of the gun control platform are universal background checks for gun buyers and the reinstitution of a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity firearm magazines.

Certainly would make confiscation easier.

And that is exactly what the statists want.

How about first we have a national voter ID, which is Real ID compliant?

That is going to stop 17 year old Newark gangsters from obtaining guns, exactly how?

So if everyone has a license to be able to buy a gun, what are the background checks for? All gun control serves no function other than a\A chance for your masters to put their boot on your neck. If, he wants a civil war, he can get one.

See my tag line. Gun registration will always lead to gun confiscation, it’s the nature of tyrannical governments throughout history.

I am deeply troubled by the increasing impetus the Left has to disarm America’s patriots. What was that old saying about the “tree of liberty?”

If Booker is on the ticket as VP, he just lost 2020 for the RATS.
This won’t play in AZ or any of the Midwest States.
He may have lost MN too

NO!

Constitutional rights do not require licenses.

Ben,
While in office, the magic negro signed us on to a U.N. deal that all signatories would confiscate all weapons not owned by the state.
The Donald abrogated us from that crap.
