Actually, Cory Booker, 'thoughts and prayers' are the best we can do

On Monday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., one of many Democratic presidential candidates, announced his new plan to combat gun violence. His agenda includes what fellow candidates have also proposed, like assault weapons bans and universal background checks. In addition to these features, Booker went a step further and proposed a national firearms registration system.

While detailing his passionate plan for a safer America where gun violence is reduced, he took a page out of the progressive playbook and disparaged individuals who offer their “thoughts and prayers” after tragedy strikes.
