Cory Booker drops strong, ambitious gun law reform plan

Sen. Cory Booker has taken the strongest position on gun law reform of any candidate in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, with a proposal to require gun owners to get licenses. As Booker says, “If you need a license to drive a car, you should need a license to own a gun.” The licensing plan comes in addition to a set of more standard Democratic gun reforms, like universal background checks, bans on assault weapons and bump stocks, and keeping domestic abusers from owning guns.
