SALEM, N.H. – They’re both highlighting their ideas to curb gun violence as they run for the Democratic presidential nomination.

But Beto O’Rourke says that Sen. Cory Booker’s new proposal to mandate the federal licensing of all gun owners goes too far.

I would want to ask about the issuance of Firearms Owners Identification cards in Illinois. How much has that costed the taxpayers there? How has that system worked to counter the criminal and tragic misuse of firearms in that state and what sort of results could we expect if that was extended to a federal level?

It goes too far for now. After a softer version is implemented, then they will crack down.

You’re right, Depolrable. It will be interesting to see each of the gang of lunatics try to calibrate just the right amount of crazy on each issue in a desperate bid to distinguish him/her/it’s self from the others
