CMJeepster 2,778 Posted May 6, 2019 "Cory Booker proposes national license for all gun owners" https://news.yahoo.com/cory-booker-proposes-national-license-gun-owners-110119599--election.html "WASHINGTON (AP) — 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. Booker released an environmental justice plan last month. He has struggled to rise from the low single digits in early polls." ------ Thankfully this clown isn't very high in the polls right now. Hopefully this shitty, privacy-invading idea dies a quick death. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
remixer 1,645 Posted May 6, 2019 Booker is a fugging clown.... He's not running for president.... He's running for Vice along with about 15 of those other left winger assholes. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Underdog 1,593 Posted May 6, 2019 I want sweeping legislation to be passed for all politicians. All are mandated to take a class on the Constitution for starts. All have term limits and a cap on the money that they can make while in office and for the following 10 years once they are out of office. And., if they break their required oaths, they are subject to a felony charge. I am sure I can come up with more, but these will do for a start. Oh, and all of them need to take a course in economics, and specifically in capitalism. And, lastly, they all have to house undocumented workers and repeat offenders at their residence for at least part of each week. Oh, and while they are in office they are not allowed to own any firearms and must sell or store them at a shooting range. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted May 6, 2019 What concerns me is that I don't put ANYTHING past those pulling the strings for the simpletons running for office. The Left pushes an agenda on gun control and right before the next election something tragic is staged, allowed to occur, etc. Why else would they be shooting themselves in the foot by promoting this unAmerican agenda? Just as when the economy collapsed and Obama crawled into the White House. Does anyone really believe that there wasn't some way of triggering that stock market collapse during that summer before the election? I guess we will find out how stupid and gullible many Americans are. Booger is a menace incapable of understanding facts, history and common sense and yet he has continued to be supported by the brain dead, conditioned, subjects. History has illustrated time and again that the only real reason a government wants to disarm its people is doesn't want them to resist something bad that it wants to force upon them.

EngineerJet 191 Posted May 9, 2019 What is astonishing, is that this mindset, these people, are what tyranny is made of. But in their mind they really think it is justified. Somewhere in their heads, the rationalizing machine is cranking out the notion that its ok if we strip people of rights in order to achieve security. That people might end up assaulted, raped, killed because they have been legislated out of the ability to self defense, and that is justifiable to them and therefore worth pursuing. They weigh the options in their head and they say, I'm ok with innocent people suffering because I had the best intentions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted May 9, 2019 The OP's heading says it all. Geez, the Dems act like we don't already have thousands of gun laws! I think they realize they are not going to be able to force their socialist agenda on us without first obtaining the complete confiscation of firearms.

Violent crime skyrocketed, because people could no longer defend themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voyager9 3,434 Posted May 9, 2019 Ironic that he didn’t introduce any of this while he was in Congress. You know. That body of government that actually makes legislation. So he doesn’t want to bring any of this to the federal level. He just wants to be in a position where he can ask someone else to do it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one will ask him that question. Not that he matters in this election. Its just another example of the dems colluding with the media to fix a national election.

Mrs. Peel 7,157 Posted May 14, 2019 Charles C.W. Cooke over at National Review (my personal fav among 2A advocates) lays out all of the many troubling issues with this bill in a quick video.

njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted May 14, 2019 Just ask all the gun-owning anti-Nazis of the 1930's how the Weimar Republic's gun registry worked out for them. Oh wait - you can't ask them. The Nazis murdered them after they disarmed them. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
