Sen. Cory Booker calls for 'bold' gun safety legislation in wake of latest mass shootings: 'More and more Americans are seeing that this as a matter of freedom in this country. Will we be a nation free from fear? Free from violence?'
Sen. Cory Booker said Sunday that passing more gun control measures, including his proposed idea to institute a gun licensing program, requires"presidential leadership," and added that if President Donald Trump"took responsibility for this moment," it may just move Republicans in Washington to action.
"If they fail to be accountable, we can be able to win seats, flip, in the same way the in the past has been able to make such a big difference in elections, so much so that many Republicans are afraid of them," the senator said."We could flip that around, and make them afraid of the overwhelming majorities of Americans that will hold them accountable. That's the kind of tough leadership we need right now.
Trump said Friday he has"a great relationship with the NRA," but also said,"we need intelligent background checks." "How do you call out President Trump on the issue of white supremacy and racism without alienating his supporters?" Stephanopoulos asked.
