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.

Yeah, cause... you know.... we peons out here in the sticks (bible-clinging, gun-owning Trump supporters) are too stoopid to figure out that a "national license" equates to a national registration... making it easy peasy for the leftists to confiscate, when that time comes.

My guns all fell off the back of the truck I don't own and never have.

My guess...it's already hidden away in some paragraph in a subsection of Chapter 3 of one of their gun grabbing amendments.

Registration is a much greater invasion of privacy than a woman claims is the case regarding abortion.

IOW...GFY!   (not directed at you)

Registration doesn’t infringe on it, any more than a prohibition on owning fully auto machine guns infringes on it.  Scalia and the rest of the justices were pretty clear on the degree to which exercise of the right can be subjected to regulation without violating the anti-infringement rule. 

And thanks for the clarification. 

[Bill Cipher]

So?  Registration still doesn’t equal confiscation.  If it did, it wouldn’t matter whether the Swiss had their version of the DNC or not.

Gun grabbers always use that argument.

What argument is that?  That registration does not equal confiscation?  Simple logic requires that conclusion, without regard to one’s politics.

Don't be obtuse.

[Bill Cipher]

Don't be obtuse.

I’m not.  I’m applying basic logic.  Furthermore, wholesale seizure of all firearms would clearly be an infringement of the Second Amendment in a way that mere registration is not.  Any confiscation legislation premised on prior registration of firearms would be quite easily invalidated.

@txradioguy

Doesn't matter what laws they pass, bad guys will have guns bought off the street or steal them or get them wherever, and use them on whatever they want to shoot - humans or animals.  The two who shot up the latest school, one of them broke into their parent's gun cabinet.  No way am I going to list the defensive weapons I have, not even my PINK rifle.

Exactly.  Every scheme involving "gun control" will leave the law-abiding helpless from the evil people in our midst.

Registration, licensure, insurance, you name it.  The desired end result is no defense for the innocent.  Clever hot-shot lawyers who insist otherwise piss me off.

[LegalAmerican]

  The LEFT...DEMON-RATS...just can't stop, trying to take our guns.  THAT IS COMMUNISM.  DEATH FOLLOWS.  SAME WITH Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,  BERNIE SANDERS. Hillary.  ELIJA CUMMINGS...WARREN.  Their sit in in congress, to remove our guns, while being protected by guns in CONGRESS OFFICE.  SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!   Feinstein...against guns, while she has her own body guard with gun.  Yes.  KEEP YOUR GUNS...YOU WILL NEED THEM

I agree.  It is ALL,  find out which law abiding citizen has them...while CRIMINALS  do not follow any laws.  How dumb do these people think...we are?  CORY?   CORY PISSES ME OFF!  ANOTHER OBAMA.

If you say so

History says so: Great Britain, Cuba, China, The Bahamas, Australia, Germany, Pol Pot's Cambodia. Communist Vietnam, The USSR, Idi Amin's Uganda, Guatemala, Ottoman Turkey, Rwanda, Aremia, North Korea. In every one of these countries Registration of firearms have led to confiscation to degree.Might be time to reassess your position.

[thackney]

Registration does not automatically equal confiscation. Ask the Swiss.

You have one example where it did not.  How many examples of it leading to confiscation would you like?

Should we then say gun registration lead to gun confiscation 9 times out of 10?  19 times out of 20?  Maybe more?

I only need one instance to prove the logical fallacy of equating registration with confiscation.  Those who would prove the equivalence, on the other hand, need 100%, so even 9 out of ten still fails.

Next do home PCs and smartphones.

So almost alway, but not always.  Got it.

[Cyber Liberty]

So almost alway, but not always.  Got it.

If it worked out in one out of a hundred cases where it didn't, the legal mind says registration is A-OK.  One needs a lot of law school and experience twisting words to obtain such a total lack of common sense. 

"It hasn't worked before because the right people didn't do it.  We'll do it better, we promise."
