Cory Booker: ‘We Are So Out of Step with the Rest of the World’ on Gun Control
EXCERPT:
BOOKER: "I mean, this is just like the issue we're talking about now. There's so much wide agreement. I was able to get the FOP who represents the majority of police officers in America, we were able to come together around a bill, the International Association of Chiefs of Police come together around a bill. We should stop talking about the margins in this country. There are so many issues, from police reform to common sense gun safety, that the majority of us agree on it, but that's not enough. There has got to be more activism and engagement or we're going to lose our precious democracy. We are so out of step with the rest of the world. Everything we're talking about today does not happen in other countries, just here, because we tolerate it. And that's the question, is how much endurance do we have for horror and wretchedness, pain, and death, when we have the ability to change it and we just need more people engaged?"
