Cory Booker (D-N.J.) doesn\u2019t give it his best effort. His latest gun control proposal ignores basic constitutional protections of Creator-endowed rights and the racist history of the left\u2019s favorite gun control ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, Sen.

Some states are doing this already \u2014 and it saves lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licensing Rights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal has been echoed repeatedly by many presidential candidates so far in this cycle. That\u2019s right. They want you to be licensed by the government to exercise a right for which the U.S. Constitution explicitly forbids the federal government infringement. The first flaw in the senator\u2019s thinking is that such an infringement on the Second Amendment is saving lives. The city of Chicago, for example, requires gun owners to license themselves via the Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card. If what Sen. Booker had said were actually true, then Chicago would not \u201cconsistently (have)&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/chicago-gun-violence-murder-rate-statistics-4addeeec-d8d8-4ce7-a26b-81d428c14836.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen. Booker's License to Drive a Car\/Own a Gun Comparison is Bogus\">more total killings<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;than any other U.S. city\u201d with 27 people killed in the first two weeks of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker\u2019s statement is not only wrong, but it is also incredibly hypocritical. Earlier this month, the New Jersey senator took to Twitter&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoryBooker\/status\/1163879381682544641\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen. Booker's License to Drive a Car\/Own a Gun Comparison is Bogus\">again<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to suggest repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which protects the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits that attempt to hold manufacturers liable for the criminal misuse of a lawfully sold, non-defective firearm. Such attempts to assert liability without any basis in law are preposterous and applied to no other industry. Courts, and everyday Americans, recognize the absurdity of allowing someone who is the victim of a drunk driving accident to sue the manufacturer of the car a drunk driver was operating at the time of the crash. In other words, Sen. Booker wants to treat law-abiding gun owners like licensed drivers but at the same time hold the firearms manufacturers of America to a level of legal liability not ever considered for any other industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sen. Booker clearly does not understand the difference between a constitutionally protected right and state requirements for using public roads. Bearing arms is an inalienable right in this country and a law that would require the government to license who can arm themselves and with what is a direct attack on our rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gun Control\u2019s Racist Roots<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t end there. Sen. Booker should know the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/pundits-blog\/civil-rights\/347324-the-racist-origin-of-gun-control-laws\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen. Booker's License to Drive a Car\/Own a Gun Comparison is Bogus\"><strong>racist history<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;of the gun licensing scheme that arose in the Jim Crow-era South to ensure African-Americans wouldn\u2019t be able to exercise and enjoy their God-given rights. In fact, Frederick Douglass, the famed abolitionist who challenged slavery and racism, railed against state and local infringement of gun rights for African Americans just one month after the Confederacy\u2019s surrender. State Supreme Courts recognized many of the gun control laws that emerged and grew beyond the South were drafted with the \u201cpurpose of disarming\u201d African Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, co-founder of Black Guns Matter, Maj Toure, takes his message to inner cities that suffer high crime and&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D_8ps2nateM&amp;app=desktop\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen.

Toure said the \u201cthe first gun control rules pop off in Virginia\u201d after Emancipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Condoleeza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State, recently defended gun rights on The View,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2018\/mar\/1\/condoleezza-rice-defends-gun-rights-on-the-view-re\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen. Booker's License to Drive a Car\/Own a Gun Comparison is Bogus\">reminding<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;viewers that neither Alabama\u2019s Gov. \u201cBull\u201d Connor nor Birmingham police would protect African Americans. She explained her father and his friends would fire guns in the air when Ku Klux Klan and \u201cnight riders\u201d would threaten their neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure if Bull Connor had known where those guns were, he would have rounded them up,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I don\u2019t favor some things like gun registration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, America\u2019s millions of law-abiding gun owners will prove at the ballot box that we cannot be swayed by illogical talking points, no matter how frequently they are parroted by out of touch politicians who ignore our constitution and our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Larry Keane&nbsp;<\/strong><em>is Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs and General Counsel for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nssf-why-sen-bookers-license-to-drive-a-car-own-a-gun-comparison-is-bogus\" title=\"NSSF: Why Sen.
