Cory Booker: “That is the first part of the framing that is very important--this determination that we will not do business as usual…”

“That is the first part of the framing that is very important--this determination that we will not do business as usual and that this fight will not stop. We will take this fight to the Senate floor, we will take this fight to legislators, and we will take this fight to neighborhoods and communities. It is not a physical fight. It is a fight, in my opinion, of love. It is a fight that says we can be a country that affirms people's right to own weapons. We heard from one of our closest friends in the Senate, Mr. Heinrich, who is an ardent gun owner. He is a hunter. As a vegan, I have seen some pictures of what he has shot and killed, and he takes great pride and joy in that. What we are talking about--and this gets me to the next area of questioning--is that it is not about hunters, it is not about people who want guns for self-defense, and it is not about people who want guns because they love the sport. Senator Bennet took me out skeet shooting when I was in Colorado. It is not about the folks who want guns for that. This is about something very narrow, and that is the question that I have, which is the second part of this framing. I have heard some people talk about this in partisan terms.…”
