The 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are renewing their gun control proposals in the wake of recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left at least 31 victims dead.
So far, Booker has carved out one of the most ambitious lanes in the gun policy debate ahead of 2020 -- a plan he calls"the most comprehensive gun violence prevention plan of any candidate for president in decades." Castro also supports gun buybacks, which he acknowledged"have had mixed success," but said are"good policy" in some circumstances. Castro, who is from Texas, also supports universal background checks, limiting the capacity of magazines and an assault weapons ban. He highlighted the importance of mental health and research in a CNN town hall.
Other senators vying for the presidency -- including Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts -- have yet to roll out formal 2020 policies, but have years of congressional records that shed light on their positions. "Would closing off the loophole in the terrorist watch list hurt my Uncle Dick in his deer stand? Not at all," Klobuchar said in 2016.
Ahead of 2020, Sanders often brings up his lengthy record to prove a different point: He has consistently voted since the 1980s to ban semi-automatic assault weapons. In an interview in February, Warren said gun violence would be qualified as a national emergency"right off the top" if she were elected.
Colorado has also seen some of the most notable mass shootings in the country and, so far, two candidates have entered the race from the state: former Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Michael Bennet. Asked about establishing federal gun licensing, O'Rourke initially told reporters on the campaign trail that it went"too far." But after a night of reflection, he changed his mind.
Since then, Hickenlooper has adapted his tone, and more than once. Colorado has passed measures expanding background checks and limiting magazine sizes to 15 rounds, despite backlash from gun rights groups. Gillibrand is joined by Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio, who was also formerly given an"A" rating from the NRA. Ryan shifted his stance more recently than Gillibrand, speaking out after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. He has since donated roughly $20,000 to gun control organizations.
Shut up cory booker
Go back to your gated community and tell yourself how great you are , Spartacus..
The only fear the nation has is people like you! Mayor of a New Jersey town that was a disaster! Where's the media!
Bold? Isn't he against punishing any murderer because of his bleeding liberal heart?
Unbelievable. The man arguing the government should infringe on American’s rights (AKA their freedom) is claiming doing so is beneficial to freedom. He knows he can say something so objectively ridiculous bc media won’t push back. Oh, how easy it must be to be a Democrat.
You will only hurt the law abiding people. Bad guys will still get guns!
I am free from fear because I can carry my firearm
that`s the vision of a narrow minded individual.he believes in magic!
Clown
Cory how many guns does you security detail carry? To protect you sorry butt?
I DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AND I DONT TRUST YOU CORY!
Cory the Rock says.....
I call for more law on congess members. 1 Like term limits senate 2-6 year terms and house a total of 6 years max then your out! 2 if you win a house and/or a senate seat then you cannot run for a seat in the either chamber again for life. You time is done!
Not unless you’re free from INSANITY..
NRA Guns kills 3000 to 4000 innocent Americans per year, while USA ‘guns’ killed 250,000 Iraqi Women and Children In ONE month during the invasion/Desert Storm under the disguise of WMD engineered by NeoConsZionists headed by HKESSINGER!
Who cares what Cory call for...
He curbed gun violence so well in Newark SenBooker
The ‘Big Pharma Bad Boy’ should get it right...
You tell 'em Farrakhan Jr.
More FakeNews
That will not stop these shouting. People will always have guns if they want them. People makes bad choices.
We are a nation free from fear and violence - at the hands of dictators and foreign invaders all because of the SecondAmendment
Booker is a rascist through and through.
Where have you been? You a senator and now you want to make a difference
He's so untrustworthy.
Ok Booker what about Democratic run Chicago 2019 with 280 killed and 1,629 wounded and Baltimore 191 killed 432 wounded by gunfire. Your Democratic party tough gun laws are working so well. Cory Booker like all Democrats sweep these black on black slaughters under the carpet.
Even in the inner cities Booker?
Assault weapon ban
Is t it a bit late now ? For the last 16 years the democrats presidents Bill and Obama didn’t do anything about it .... why didn’t this guy mention it to them then ?
Yeah no thanks! Keep dreaming! A vote for you is a vote to someone that’s more incompetent than Obama, well maybe not! BUT VERY CLOSE
NO
Vete a la cueva payaso 🤣🤣🤣🤣
7NY Booker you stupid. How about violence that doesn’t concern a gun? HTF you going to stop that
Booker is nothing but a puppet and Communist stooge along with most of the left !
Never be free of fear with u democrats letting in illegal immigrants, terrorists, ms13 gangs.
How Newark is doing CoryBooker ? 😂😂😂
Hey Corey how about starting in the inner cities were more people die in one year then most of the mass shooting put together. That would put you in a place if you crack down you would be called racist. Tell me it is not political.
You first Corey!
Isn't it the Democrats that are out there threatening violence against conservatives? Haven't I seen more violent Twitter posts, more violent comments by Hollywood, and more violent comments against our own President by Democratic politicians than ever before?
Stamp it out dead
So his plan is to confiscate all guns. 👎👎👎
the only thing i fear is someone like this mouth breather being in charge of the country, especially if i am disarmed.
7NY How about the catch and release program we have in NJ. Great idea!! All of these gun laws will have no impact on gun violence because the (lack of) penalties for gun related violence is the issue here!!
Bless his little heart.
Be Bold.... stand up for the Constitution. You know the very document you swore to defend. Stop the political BS, and do your job. You are a public servant, not Spartacus. Do your job or we will replace you.
Why are they giving this guy so much air time? He is a scary liar.
One day the “news” tell me Trump is literally Hitler. The next day the “news” tells me there’s concentration camps at our souther border. Now they want us to disarm ourselves? Anyone else see where this is headed?
Nobody cares what this irrelevant hate Monger says. Try putting a non-racist on here. Try putting someone on the news that actually knows what the hell they're talking about. Put someone on here that hasn't drank the left-wing Kool-Aid
Tell us what you’re going to propose Book. Just tell us!!
The communist Booker wants total denomination over voters.
We won’t if we give up our guns as only bad people will have them
7NY Of course loud mouth calls for it, but will he be around to vote on the law ?
Reactionary emotionally driven idiocy.
Blah, blah, blah, more Democrats bullshit. They still don’t understand that all the gun laws they have already don’t work and even more will not chance the situation! They want to dis- arm law abiding citizens while criminals get all the guns they want. Dems are misguided.
Wound he would want regulations on God if a tornado, earthquake or other national casthrophe happened on his block? Millions have legal guns a handful of haters use them to kill ppl. Lots have illegal guns & kill thousand yearly. Gun laws don’t work on haters. Crazy person.
Which is why I am glad that he is brave enough to call for the immediate ban on civilian ownership of firearms, followed by the house to house search and seizure of them.
CoryBooker 👀 realDonaldTrump
People are hoping they’ll be able to defend themselves.
TRUMP2020Landside
As long as the NRA is in charge of the White House nothing is going to change.
“Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.” — Malcolm X.
As soon as gives up his private detail that's protecting him. Hypocrisy of Democratics
Every time he opens his mouth the world is coming to an end. 🙄
Lol
Sen Booker: What has he accomplished in the Senate other than grandstanding? What did he accomplish as Mayor of Newark? What did he accomplish as NJ state Senator? Not much other than get himself ready to fun for the next office All political ambition nothing else
WAITING PERIODS!!!
Booker and Menendez have done jack-squat to help this failing state and this clown thinks he can be president? NOPE! Spartacus hasn't a clue.
It is time for him to quit the race. A waste of money.
I’m worried about the government free from fear of the armed citizen
SenBooker what a joke. No common sense. Like AOC, just talks to hear himself talk.
DEM's fan the flames of violence 24/7. Through the DNC, through their media arms Twitter facebook CNNPolitics MSNBC, through Hollyweird, through VERY realistic video games. 24/7, you incite violence against Conservatives. YOU are the societal cancer.
oh the FEAR!
Ask citizens of Chicago, Baltimore, Saint Louis, Miami, NYC, Boston, Seattle, Minneapolis, Camden, Newark, Detroit on & on. Why no interest in the Las Vegas massacre?
7NY Maybe when we focus more on mental health and child upraising and education?
This man has a message for CoryBooker
Enforce the laws already on the books.. would be a good start.. no need to take any more of my constitutional rights away.. LessGovernment
Was Booker hiding behind the Bushes when Obama and Biden said they tried passing gun laws? Hell, Democrats gave guns to criminals on Mexican border, guns for cash was a joke, because broken guns was turned in to buy a new one that works.
Take a page from the Illinois handbook on control...toughest in the nation while Chicago has the worst gun related offenses.....it males so much sense to focus on something that doesnt work.... jealous I didnt think of that 🤔😉
We were until the extreme left had a say
No.
What a chump
Cory: clean up the gun violence in Newark
Giving up 2nd Amendment rights is freedom. 😜
I am sitting here laughing my ass of listening to this dude SPEW out words that is Pure BS. It's all about WHO can SPEW the Loudest....and they all have Very Big Mouths
Freedom to be shot by bad guys with guns doesn’t sound like freedom at all.
I don’t live in fear there are more people killed in this country by cars then violent acts of terrorism with AR gun’s
Notice people like him keep using gun control as a deterrent from these type of killings but ignore all the killings in Baltimore and Chicago that occur in gun free cities. Guess they do not support their narrative.
Corey Booker is a twopercent blowhard. Sparticus
let's see ABC is a company that has sexually abused women and children mr Booker sexually abused women and wrote a book about it and they want to take weapons away from American's so they can do this easier THINK ON THAT
Americans need to arm themselves against criminals. Look at what the democrat terrorists wanted to do to McConnell. Look at what the democrat terrorists do to the average non-democrat when they find out you aren’t a democrat
Next to drop out
This fool is fundamentally wrong! Freedom is having the choice to protect yourself and these days this is more important than ever. This guy will NEVER protect you or me.
So Mr. Booker how many American citizens regardless of skin hue and ideology are murdered or killed daily. In one little 24 hours of guns blasting away, across America from gun violence, period. The totals might just surprise many where mass shootings kill are no match in nmbers
CoryBooker With guns, sadly you have tragedies, without guns you get Genocide, History has proven this irrefutably.
No Booker, safe as long as Dems do not have guns Republicans not involved in any shootings or violence Ck with your followers, Antifa, etc Spartacus falling off his horse with sword in hand and ... Oh no look what happened........
I call for bold legislation against Democrats trying to take away my constitutional rights.
Apr 03, 2018 · LONDON-- A surge of stabbings in London was blamed Monday for the city overtaking New York's monthly murder tally for the first time in modern history.
More vague drivel from a phony carpetbagger.
Tell Cory Booker to go back to Newark and clean up the gun violence there! He abandoned that City, shame on him!
Idiots
heil hitler
A friend recently gave birth to a boy and was hoping for a girl for this exact reason. 😪
Your a fascist, and fuels hate. White people get shot as well
Let's seal his fate with your rhetoric so you can gain political points. It's the same crap that keeps people down so they believe they can't make it without your government money, it serves to keep people dependent. Less government is Republican based thus keeps us free.
Trump
If you told my son that we would have a problem.
This guy is done
ummkay?
You’ve been in Newark enough why have t you done anything? What could possibly be different. Stop lyng.
And racist policemen.
he`s a liar or a looney or both,until now, nobody have been able to do it,but he will, he`s larger than God,so he speaks.
How did you change it for Newark. Oh you made it worse thats right.
Quit the fear mongering and the kids will stop asking that.
Booker another Dem demagogue who ignores the reality of the failure of tough gun laws in Democratic controlled cities of Chicago with 278 killed and 1,642 wounded and Baltimore 191 killed 431 wounded by gunfire so far in 2019. How would you stop this slaughter Booker? Tell us.
What Cory Booker failed to tell the the young man was statistically it will be a black man with the gun.
Yet he critizied Joe Biden on his 90’s crime bill that save 500,000 black lives in the next decade after it passed! Wow. Booker is not very bright. He should stick to selling his access/seat like he sold it to public school union bosses arriving in the Senate.
Some facts within the message....
He couldn’t find words of encouragement...!
So CoryBooker couldnt get guns off the streets in Newark, but he'll somehow sweep the streets of every city in America. Got it.
Using fear tactics is wrong all Democrats candidates using fear to win votes should be ashamed new low.
What a pathological liar
We already know we CAN NOT trust government to use HONESTY to send soldiers to war to kill. We can NOT trust government to use the death penalty for all the innocents, especially blacks, sent to death this way. We KNOW this yet you argue government can now be trusted ON GUNS?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣este tío q se ha fumado pa decirle eso a un crio ,madre mía como están los demoniocraticos 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This simply was not the thing to say! -Well, you'll be dead by eighteen if your parents don't vote for me!- Next time encourage the child with stats that show, inspite of lifes perils, many black men survive and thrive in this country! Better than the opposition not mirroring it!
For such an obviously staged question it’s astounding how vapid the answer is.
He couldn’t stop it in Newark how’s he gonna do it anywhere else
🐮💩
How? We all want what Booker says to happen but HOW Talking about HOW.....how did you fix this problem in Newark? That’s right you didn’t ....fraud!!!
Is he lying though? I mean America GET REAL. Children and adults will die from gunfire in this country at this point. It has happened in schools, churches, concerts, events, malls, supermarkets and routine traffic stops by cops. CommonSenseGunLawsNow
More overwhelming due to another POC...
And no mention of black and black crime?
Fear mongering
Booker...is full of B.S.
Says the rich black man again
53 people were shot in Chicago this weekend. Why are you not down there Cory stopping this madness? Its your own people doing it to each other. Stop your BS meetings and start making actual changes.
Blah blah blah loser
Change it...like Obama 'did'? Sure, Cory, sure. Action, not words. Kill the NRA, enact actual gun regulation, etc. and we'll believe you. CoryBooker CoryBooker
Oh my god why are you lying to this young man that is so not true
If your an a gang yeah.
Hahahaha! What an idiot
Really is this guy off his rocker That statement although some what true was just STUPID
I don’t think it was appropriate to say that comment about a young black boy. Speak life not death.
joe_warmington Fear mongers, Dems don't have any candidates to beat Trump.
Booker selling wolf cookies for a vote!
What a freaking moron🤦🏾♀️ CoryBooker
Wow not education hard work! Come on who is racist
What an optimistic outlook CoryBooker has for black youth. Brings a new meaning to 'Vote (for Cory Booker) or Die'
Is that accurate
Booker, Harris, & Sanders went to the church in sin city who says homosexuality & LGBT is wrong! So where is the equality between these 3 hypocrites? But ABC won’t report this!!!
Sounds racist to me!
Somebody tell this idiot that criminals don’t obey laws. How’s that for common sense?
So who are the racists again?
Booker will use any prop to make a point Including unsuspecting children Accomplished NOTHING as NJ state Senator, mayor of Newark, and NJ Senator Political ambition on steroids Cory go back to NJ and do something anything for your constituents Stop wasting our time & money
Is Corey a racist? Why didn’t he make these changes already. He will only do this if elected president?
Really. Did he that in Newark? NO! Is he helping in Chicago. No!! He’s a pathological liar Thea is mentally ill.
Empty promises just to get elected. The NRA has not committed one death. Can Planned Parenthood say the same?
Boy he sure knows how to pack the room.
What a tool.
Wait what. ? Are you nuts ?
Should have asked him again,,, How was he going to do what he says he is going to do... Liar...
And no one called out his BS? SMH
BidenBeto2020
So basically, he is not going to do anything but promise something he can't deliver... Isn't he like polling less than 10% to be president.?
Einstein
Booker lowers the bar...again. Pathetic.
How can you stand there and lie to that young man. The Democrats ar holding these people down so they can control them Tell that young man the truth you fraud. 🇺🇸
Idiot alert
He is an ass. Really telling a kid that shame on him.
and to that same boy please do not listen to that charlatan..
What a horrible thing to say!
How can u frighten young kids like this by telling them lies
never hear the politicians beating the drum until something happens. Career politicians
Gunfire in your own neighborhood, and most likely by your own race...
How many murders when he was Newark mayor?
But it isnt the guns! It's the people! We need to somehow get guns away from those who try to kill but they can buy guns legally. Dont hurt the people that can buy them legally!
Corey Booker... AWFUL statement to a young boy! 👎😖🖤
Considering that black people are more likely to kill other blacks people I guess Corey is one who knows. Is he going to start talking to kids about his gay lifestyle too.,
You are such a hypocrite and the truth is not in you Cory Booker you will say and do anything to get elected just like Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren Kamala Harris the Blasio, man y’all are way way out there In left field,that’s why am vote for Trump 2020
Put them all in a prison- that’ll keep them safe. Freedom is more important than security-always!!
Unfortunately it will be from another young black male
Delusional
I guess he will outlaw al black males the right? Since they are the ones who commit the most gun violence?
Unbelievably stupid. This is wrong on many levels. Shameful Senator.
WOW!!! And people actually are considering this individual for President ....a defeatist, and I dare say misanthrope Man has serious problems
Gunfire from another black male.
...Because black males never die from drug related crimes. 🙄
Totally unnecessary. Smh
Desperate
You guys are the new CNN.
Dude. Just STFU with your bullshit.
Cause Booker did such a great job with gun violence in Newark.
Stop Frisk ?
Oh wow. That’s really sad he would say that to a kid. dimwit
shame on you booker
WOW
That’s all they want is to divide Americans for there Political Agenda
Stop making promises you KNOW you CANNOT/WILL NOT keep. PoliticalLIES
Cory should warn kids not to live in DEMOCRAT’S Chicago. HouseDemocrats couldn’t care less what happens in Chicago! Toddlers, teens, pregnant women&elderly KILLED! 8yrs Obama&Co IGNORED their tears &Dems, Lib-Media& Gov IGNORE their tears 2day! The DAILY bloody violence is real!
Don’t Try to bring Americans together
Love your passion. At least you have that going for you.9
The young boy has already survived the number one killer of minority children - abortion. Bet Cory did not discuss his view on that.
Cory is a lunatic.
joe_warmington This worm won't change jack shit!
Spreading this bullstein to impressionable kids needs to be outlawed! Sigh.....
He could've gotten his point across and made it perfectly clear what his intentions were on gun control, without using that particular sentence. That's enough to keep that kid in fear now for the rest of his life . Dumbass use your head when speaking to children! 😡
Smells like some bull shit.
This Corey guy must be running for president. Otherwise nobody in thier right mind would make that sort of comment to a kid.
Wow.... he is terrorizing children ......such optimism
Yep. He did such a great job in Newark. 🤦♂️
How are you going to change gun control? And how is congress going to approve it?
My god. These people are deranged. How is this real life?
Oh wow. Way to just scare the living shit out of the kid while lying straight to his face
Question for Mr Booker: who is behind the gun firing the bullet, statistically? Wonder if you think it’s a white supremacist.
Especially he lives in a Democrat run city
Just like banning drugs worked. That is a child’s biggest danger.
Holy Fuck ! What is going on in these people's heads? How is this man a senator Wow
Drugs are illegal, yet they are everywhere. Gun laws will restrict gun access to those being shot at, not the shooters.
Cory Booker is an awful human being.
That's how you scare a young kid! Not a good thing to say
Here is the fear monger......👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
What the heck.
Why would he talk to a young boy like that. Is there no limit to how far he will go ! Unbelievable
Lol you can’t say that bruh 🤦🏿♂️
Really uplifting.
Yes in a democratic ran city
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Booker Will NEVER be our President. He is so dangerous for our country.
One promise you can’t keep
Only if he lives in Chicago
What an awful way to scare a child.
Who’s fear mongering now
What a terrible comment to tell a young boy! Shameful
Instilling fear for votes. Yuk
And why ? Have they not been killing each other for a long time now? 278 murders in Chicago this year. Nothing to do with Trump ,police , or white people.
What he didn’t say is that it would most likely be at the hands of someone of the same race. The vast majority of murder victims are killed by perpetrators of the same race, black Americans are no exception to this.
Political posturing...using children. smh
Now we tell children that the Boogie Man is real. The left will do anything for a vote.
Damn. Nope.
Now let a Republican or a white person say this...OMG!!
That's just not right to destroy the poor boy's hope and traumatize him that young for his selfish political gains. That boy could have been a President.
And that’s why he will never be president , he just assumes all young black men are what? Gangsters?
What a weirdo! Who says that to a little boy? Omg!!!
Good lord.
How sad is it, that this isn't even a lie. How angry are we that it continues to happen and these politicians would rather bow to big business then the people who put them in office and pay their salaries. We shouldn't have to wait until 2020 to make this craziness stop!
Health of Black or African-American non-Hispanic population. (Source: CDC)
joe_warmington What a freak’n failure. Booker is the reason that the border is an issue . He and his cohorts refuse to fix the border, refugees system, streamlining the regular immigration system. CONGRESS HAS FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE PERIOD.
And most likely not from a scary rifle
Scaring kids to get votes. Pathetic.
Bet Booker would show that kid his dick if no one was around
TRUMP2020Landside
Liar 🤥
Yes... Let's go after law-abiding citizens!
U mean to tell me the great obama didn't change that. More empty promises by demRATS
Spartacus
From another black boy
Killed by another young black boy
Fearmongering for votes.
If the Democrats put their faith in this one, guess DJT will win again
Wow--what a jerk---traumatizing young children like that. What is wrong with him....
IS IT NECESSARY TO MENTION BLACK?GOD THIS WORLD IS CRAZY PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTGING FOR POWER
How? Why haven’t you done something previously?
Tell Cory Booker to move to Camden. Then talk about how he’s going to end gun violence in NJ. first.
How is that working in Hoboken Cory?
Why didn’t you do something when you were the Mayor of Newark!
BS
You ant doing shit but talking trash and we all know it
He'll change it by empowering cops to choke him to death.
Tell him to join the military ‼️🇺🇸
Are you kidding me Who tells a child that? The dems are playing politics dirty... it's getting out of hand all because they can't stand Trump. Move on already. The rest of us that didn't like Obama NEVER acted like this.
Empathy. What a contrast to Stable Genius and his usual invective and vitriol.
Indoctrination
I think someone needs to fact check ole Cory!!
Booker is a boob!
1% haha. He'll be out of race soon
I’m glad that Cory is going to end black on black violence, can’t wait to hear his plan & hear him call out the elements of black community that perpetrate these crimes. What, u don’t think he will? Yeah, your probably right...
what-the-hell
🤡
So now I like him even less. I wouldn’t want him saying anything like that to my sons. These are not presidential candidates material.
Irresponsible much Spartacus?
Why should he pass away as a young boy? Why is he telling him that? So stupid!
13%, 50%, etc.
Those people look 'enthralled' to be there.
1.5%
Unfortunately he’s not because that gunfire he’s referencing most likely will be a handgun. Only thing he will be changing is the American populace ability to get AR-15 and the ability to defend themselves against military and law enforcement. It’s a nice press op for him though
Cory is an important voice in this race. He deserves to be heard, and to be polling far higher.
Zero chance of getting the nomination. None.
WTF?
I don't trust him.
Cory thinks he is gonna go get those guns from gamgbangers. Let’s get this party started. Let watch this.
Why is everything with race with these democrats ?
vomit
🤮🤮🤮
What a horrendous, cruel, and thoughtless comment! You lost my vote Booker
Good to hear he’s going to change to gangbanger culture in our inner cities. Now if we could just work on toning down to political rhetoric and hate we just might get some place with this.
What an ass. Seriously?
