But Booker said the framework to prevent mass shootings must include the experiences of communities that endure shootings regularly.
“Mass shootings in this country are awakening an issue that has existed in my community for generations,” Booker said. He noted shootings occur frequently in his Newark neighborhood, including the March shooting of Shahad Smith, a man Booker shared a building with. “These communities are often left out of conversations or completely dissed.”
Samantha Dorf of the gun violence prevention group Moms Demand Action agreed, telling participants that while mass shootings fill news headlines, “it’s the everyday gun violence that takes hundreds of lives per day.”

Hey, that’s cool, I just shut Corey Booker out of the conversation.
No point in talking with someone who doesn’t matter at all.
Eventually, all the “rural communities” will be replaced by collective farms, re-education camps, and crematoria.
Right.
Because IF this moron is somehow elected, he would be representing 13% of the population, at best.
On the other hand, I could think of no better reason for real Americans to put our collective foot down, hard, on the DC Swamp Dwellers. Finally and at long last.
Cory Booker grew up in Harrington Park - 98.9% white, upper middle class.
He failed math. Even if you conflate murders with suicides (adding people who don't want to die with people who do want to die) it's not "hundreds" every day.
“Mass shootings in this country are awakening an issue that has existed in my community for generations,” Booker said.

Wait a sec. Didn’t one of the Jihad Squad tell us it was whites who were doing the shooting?
Corey who?
“Hundreds everyday”? Maybe he is including abortions?
Farticus has spoken!
He’s irrelevant to the issue....he’s a nobody.
The sellers are most likely "brothers" and not some chubby middle aged white guy or chick clerking at your local Cabelas or Gander Mountain.
“These communities are often left out of conversations or completely dissed.”
These communities CAUSE the whole problem in the first place.
Uh, who’s going to do the replacing?
I like Matt Bracken novels, too, but the scenario you envision would require the kind of clash of civilizational forces such as brought about the Russian Civil War and the Eastern Front in WWII.
Don’t think we’re quite there, yet. First, they will have to seize all the guns and that will involve a considerable body count.
Don’t be surprised when rural communities shut you out of food and water.
Hey Corey, we need straight talkers involved in this. If your voters can’t shoot straight, why should be expect them to talk straight?
If we lose to universal background checks and arbitrary court orders (red flags), it will be by the current situation of trolls dominating conservative discussion platforms to mislead and divide many. Our most powerful and effective lobby is being bled by it. The successful infiltration and propaganda efforts of the left against the NRA will also cause the loss of the next general election to the Democrats.

If I see any anti-Second-Amendment bill signed by our President, I’ll be focusing solely on personal and family concerns for the foreseeable future. My eyes will abstain from any political publication or broadcasting except to ridicule today’s ignorant trash culture that was born in the late 1960s (68ers).
STFU Booker and go back to your hood in sh*thole Newark,NJ and keep drinking the lead water.
“These communities are often left out of conversations or completely dissed.”
Okay, we can include those communities, but then the left can’t claim that mass shootings are a “white male” problem. You can’t have it both ways.
