On Thursday, Politico<\/a> posted Huddle, which the site describes as “A play-by-play preview of the day’s congressional news.” Included in Huddle, about half-way down is the following:<\/p>\n

FIRST IN HUDDLE: BOOKER INTRODUCES GUN LEGISLATION<\/span>\u2014 Democrats have not leaned into gun control measures in the wake of the racist shooter\u2019s deadly attack in Buffalo over the weekend, but Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is taking on the issue despite long legislative odds. Booker, along with Sens. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), is introducing legislation today that would require people trying to get a firearm to get a license from the Department of Justice before they can buy or receive a gun. The DOJ license would require both a written firearm safety test and hands-on training, a criminal background check and submission of fingerprints and proof of identity. The license would only be available to people over 21 years of age, essentially raising the age of gun ownership to 21. \u201cThis is the moment to enact ambitious legislation – as a nation, we must rise to it, or we are fated to witness the deadly scenes of this past weekend and years past over again,\u201d Booker said in a statement.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a leading advocate for gun safety legislation shares Booker\u2019s sense of urgency and told The New York Times\u2019 Annie Karni that even if legislation cannot clear Congress, Democrats need to talk more about guns, especially with voters. Congress Is Paralyzed on Guns. Here\u2019s Why Chris Murphy Is Still Hopeful<\/u><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is an excerpt from the bill<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This proposed law violates both of these amendments. Has Cory Booker read the U.S. Constitution that he swore an oath to uphold?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
