Booker, who is running for president, made the argument on CNNs OutFront, insisting that taking peoples guns does not infringe upon our Second Amendment rights.
I think that weve allowed this debate to be framed by the fear-mongering of people on the far right, who try to whip up this fear that our Second Amendment rights are going to be taken away from us. And that is just simply not the case, he said
In response, the network played a clip of Beto ORourke saying hell yes, were going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.
I know you support a mandatory buyback on assault weapons, but there are Democrats even who are saying what ORourke said and how he said it is a problem, Burnett said. Senator Chris Coons among them saying that clip will be played for years at Second Amendment rallies. Mayor Pete Buttigieg, asked if it would play into hands of Republicans, gave a simple answer: Yes. What do you think?
The presidential hopeful likened assault rifles to machine guns in response, saying that society has got weapons of war off the streets in the past.
Look, we as a society have gotten weapons of war off of our streets in the past. In the 1980s it was machine guns. We collectively agreed these guns do not belong on our streets, and we got rid of them, he said. We can do that with these assault rifles that are the tool of choice for mass murderers, and most Americans agree with that.
Im not going to play into the hands of the far-right fear-mongering thats going on. Commonsense, sensible gun reform is something the overwhelming majority of Americans agree on, and I want to keep the conversation focused on that, he said.
They say something, and then call people liars when the simply repeat what they have said.
That indicates some mental instability.
Oh, I could probably make an exception for my least favorite 10/22, the one that just doesn’t shoot right no matter what I try. $750,000.00 should persuade me to part with it. Heck, I’ll even throw in that Ram-Line mag that never worked for only an additional $10,000!
“Just because he calls it common sense doesnt make it so.”
No gun laws ever passed were “common sense” except repealing earlier laws and/or loosening existing restrictions.
I have nothing to lose! :)
I’ll make them pay more than that. :)
That gun and a bottle of Night Train and you are ready for Saturday night.
And your climate changing hoax is not fear-mongering?
1) Irish Bobby Francis O’Rourke.
2) New Zealand.
3) Cory Booker is a liar.
uhh .no, your fellow Democrats are out on the stump PROPOSING that, Cory.
Cory might want to tell that to Beto.
UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT SOLD THE GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE - - IT'S NOT A 'BUYBACK' - - it's a confiscation....
UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT SOLD THE GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE - - IT'S NOT A 'BUYBACK' - - it's a confiscation....
What if they did a 'buyback' with your car - democrats could offer ten bucks for a 'buyback' and if you didn't take it they would take your car against your will... That's what's happening here. It's NOT a buyback.
Hey,Booger,go drink that contaminated water from your former sh*thole city you once tried to run.
Beside the FACT that Cory Booker is a KNOWN LIAR and a Second Amendment Confiscation NUT. If you believe what Crazy Cory says. Then you are truly dumber than a stump!!!!!
Yeah, you d*ckhead. After the jackboots come and take your guns , you can always make a gun with your fingers and shout,Bang! Bang! K
Really? A quarter century ago, a Democrat US Senator made the following statement on national tv:
"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up everyone of them, Mr. and Mrs. America turn 'em all in, I would have done it."
- Diane Feinstein, CBS 60 Minutes, 1995
Eliminating civilian ownership of firearms is long-term, established Democrat party policy...
