Cory Booker wants to require federal license for gun owners

Because of course he does.

Booker argued that just as a driver’s license demonstrates a person’s eligibility and proficiency to drive a car, “a gun license demonstrates that a person is eligible and can meet certain safety and training standards necessary to own a gun.”

Even though there is no such thing as a requirement to have a drivers license to own a car, or even operate a car on private property. You only need a drivers license if you plan on operating a car on government property (i.e. public roads).

And because of course:

Booker’s plan also includes… universal background checks for gun buyers; the reinstitution of a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity firearm magazines

In other words, criminalizing millions of currently law-abiding citizens by making them felons for owning bits of plastic.
