Pushes May-Issue Federal Firearm Owner Licensing and Gun Confiscation On Monday, in an obvious and desperate attempt to garner attention in an overcrowded 2020 Democratic presidential field, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) threw long-cultivated anti-gun strategy and messaging to the wind and further exposed the gun control endgame when he released his "Plan To End the Gun Violence Epidemic." The document is a slapdash gun control advocate wish list, at the core of which is a plan to create a may-issue federal gun owner licensing scheme and confiscate millions of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms.   NEWS   Does Shannon Watts want a Ban on all Centerfire Rifle Ammunition?
