| Cory Booker Announces Sweeping Gun Bans, Gun-Control Measures |
| 2019-05-08 |
| [Free Beacon] New Jersey senator Cory Booker (D.) announced a slate of new gun bans and gun-control measures on Monday in his race to win the Democratic presidential nomination for 2020. In what amounts to a collection of the strictest gun-control policies instituted in deep blue states over the past several decades, Booker's proposals span from outright bans on certain guns to requiring the implementation of theoretical technology. He wants to require federal licensing of all gun owners, limit how many firearms Americans can buy, and direct the IRS to investigate the National Rifle Association. "Cory's plan is the most sweeping gun violence prevention proposal ever advanced by a presidential candidate. To make justice a reality for all, we have to end the epidemic of gun violence and invest in communities that have been shattered by the trauma left in its wake. To do that, we need to adopt a plan that introduces aggressive gun safety measures ‐ the most forward-leaning this country has ever seen," a release from Booker's campaign said. "Cory's plan would: Keep guns out of the wrong hands. Hold gun manufacturers accountable. Bring the fight to the NRA." |

| #10 I hate these silly headlines. It makes it sound like he has already banned guns and introduced gun control measures. Nope. He has announced that he intends to once (if, very much if) he becomes president. Headlines do matter. A lot of people only scan the articles at best, then move on. |

| #9 Sure thing snortacus. Yeah, usually everyone and the food channel weigh in after a shooting at a school, wondered why I didn't hear anything about it until late last night, and then at the water hole and not from the tv. |

| #5 Cory's plan would: Keep guns out of the wrong hands. I'd be interested in how he plans to do that. Just for laughs. |

| #4 We've had the Black Jesus, now we get the Black Adolph. Somehow I don't think this will turn out well for Spartacus. |
