Cory Booker proposes national license for all gun owners
AP ^ | May 6, 2019 | Elana Schor

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.

That which is not explicitly given to the Feds in constitution, is left to the States.

Sad part about this is he has no idea of how it works. He only relies on the information that his underlings tell him.

I guess he’ll want street gangs to do the same, maybe, huh?

I propose that Cory Booker’s mouth be licensed for free speech before he opens his hole again.

Same difference.

Licenses are for privileges. Gun ownership is a right.

Corey Booker is an idiot.

He is also a duly elected Senator. Think that over before you decide who will get elected in 2020.

I remember when he was running for president. What’s he doing these days? Is he still “not gay”?

There are many duly elected idiots in the Senate. It is not a new thing and has been happening since the 17th amendment was passed.

This JOKE has ZERO chance of becoming president. Even if he had no Democrat competition.

He’s more gay acting than Peter Buttplug.

No, but we can sure talk about voter ID. Not a national voter ID, current state IDs will work just fine.

It is down right scary that some of these people actually get elected to public office.

No need for a national firearms license, we already have one written by the founding fathers of our nation.

What might be helpful is a national government employee license and public database. The license to work for any government - state, local, or federal, would require civics training, expire every 8 years, and except for elected positions be subject to cancellation by a vote of the public in the jurisdiction where the license was issued.

And of course any holder of a government employee license would be listed in the national database of government employees, open to the public, which included name, home address, qualifications, phone number, date of license expiration, etc. Government licenses would only be issued in the actual names of the licensees, and any government employee would be required to show his or her license upon request by a member of the public.

Such a license would improve public safety, enhance the ability of the government employees to serve our nation, and ensure that only trained, qualified people worked in government.

Does he proposed a similar license and constraints to exercise the 1st amendment or others?
