If you read the current laws of New York, New York City, New Jersey, CT, MD, you will see the mindset he's coming from. Some examples, CT changed rifle laws and current owners turned them in without compensation. Allowing another person, EVEN A LICENSED ONE, to shoot your handgun at the range is a crime, and the basis for your permit being revoked in NY. New Jersey law is that if you are driving through NJ and the wheels stop turning for ANY REASON, the Federal FOPA does NOT APPLY. I was stationed in MD, and you can only transport guns between state-approved destinations; it is a crime to play tourist in MD with an unloaded gun locked in the trunk in compliance with Federal law. The context of his statements is he considers the 2nd amendment is obsolete and irrelevant, the state has absolute power, and ignores the high crime in the prohibitively restrictive cities. He knows that its about political power, not reducing crime.
X 1000000F Cory Booker.......
OK, I saw this on TV today. Originally he wanted total confiscation of AR's and their variants. If you don't turn in, you get arrested with a house to house search.I bet you're probably right. I know Booker's thrown wild idea all over to see what may stick, and I'm certainly no fan of his. But the original article was (deliberately) vague with omission of details like just incite uncertainty, rage, and get some clicks.
Not that that ever happens around here
