Cory Booker on Gun Violence: If I’m President, ‘I’m Going to Bring a Fight to the NRA They Have Never Seen Before’

‘I’m going to come at this like folks have never seen’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOOKER: “You’re literally standing where last year, as was relayed to me, the shooter was over there with an assault rifle. This is not an intellectual issue, not something I hear about on the news. You’re standing in a community plagued by gun violence. This section is one of the most violent places in New Jersey when I first moved here. You live in a community where fireworks go off on the 4th of July, kids evidence behavior of somebody with post-traumatic stress. They think it’s gunshots. Where you see your neighborhood, shrines to children, teenagers who were on the sidewalk, teddy bears and candles. I so badly want to be president because if I’m president of the United States, I’m going to bring a fight to the NRA they have never seen before. I tell you what. The people in this community know this is not just horrific, mass shooting after mass shooting works have mass shootings every day. Every day we lose, we lose dozens of lives by not solving this problem. There are common sense things that even NRA members think we should do and aren’t getting done.”
