"The Simpsons" illustrated part of the gun problem when Homer tried to buy a gun, and was told that he couldn't get it until after a 24 hour waiting period, and he says "But I'm mad now"
And Maggie shot Mr Burns....
also the scene where Homer shoots a cigarette that Lisa was smoking and says something like: "i can't believe how easy it is in this country to get cigarettes"
These were both good laughs.
There isn't a gun problem. There is an evil people problem. Ans people like you and booker are evil. You dont get to decide ehst people haven't done. You are ok with precise until you are on the receiving end of it. And you will be. You nor government has authority over anyone. Not even when they are "mad"
We are watching you here in yje Philippines, even if we lost in the last NATIONAL ELECTIONS OF OUR BELOVED DEMOCRATIC PHILIPPINES. Regards to Evie & Jon + Your AWESOME FOLLOWERS/AUDIENCE.Thank you!
Thank you so much Senator Booker for making that clarification on mental health crime stats and I hope those kind of statements will help reduce the stigmatization that those with mental illness are inherently dangerous people. That is untrue. Are there dangerous people that also have a mental illness -- unquestionably. But violence and aggression is not a key feature to mental illness. That point that you made should be brought up every time this issue is discussed.
Well said.
Yea I agree. He understands the nuance of the mental health crisis.
*Maybe no one has read the simplest definition* of FILIBUSTER:
A filibuster is a parliamentary procedure where one or more members of a legislature debate over a proposed piece of legislation to delay or entirely prevent a decision being made on the proposal. It is sometimes referred to as "talking a bill to death" or "talking out a bill" and is characterized as a form of obstruction in a legislature or other decision-making body.
In the United States Senate, a filibuster is a tactic employed by opponents of a proposed law to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote. The Senate rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish, and on any topic they choose, unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn" (currently 60 out of 100) vote to close debate by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII. The most common form of filibuster occurs when one or more senators attempt to delay or block a vote on a bill by extending debate on the measure. The use of filibusters has also been threatened to close the functioning of the Congress.
"The Constitution is governed by the principle of majority rule. The filibuster-which appears nowhere in the Constitution-violates that principle."
The filibuster needs to be eliminated.
Thanks! We don’t have this where I am from, so it is interesting to read. It needs to go right now.
The filibuster does not violate "majority rule", it simply raises the minimum requirement that is necessary in order to be considered a true majority. Keep in mind that the Senate is 2 seats per state, no consideration for population, so a bare bones 51/100 could easily be a minority representation of the country. Setting the bar at 60/100 helps maintain the "majority rule" that you claim it violates. By your logic the electoral college violates majority rule 😂
Not to mention the racist origins of the filibuster.
@@JegErDem the EC was capitulation to slave owning states to get them to ratify the constitution and join the union. It's part time to eliminate it.
Yes, get rid of the filibuster and get things done!!!
Yes, remove the thing keeping you in check, so you can wildly abuse unrestrained power. Removing the filibuster would only expose Dems for what they are... Power-hungry Tyrants.
three wolves vote to eat the lamb
Are you sure about that? The odds that the Democrats lose both houses in the mid terms are overwhelming.
First order of business should be voting rights. Vote and get you friends to vote
I think there should be a law that makes the owner of a gun responsible for anything done with that firearm.
Like there is with cars. I don't get why gun aren't just treated as cars. Pro-gun people keep saying they are just a tool, well, so is a car, and you a licens, insurance and registration for a car, so why not a firearm? You get a DUI you lose the right to drive, same should be with a firearm etc.
@@lassemadsen607 Literally my first thought, as well.
Careful what you wish for. If that were the case, a lot of police officers won't be held responsible for their stupid decisions.
So... please define "anything", because that is an unrealistic statement. You have to be specific if you actually want "anything" done about "something".
No, you obviously can't have that, you can't watch the thing 24/7, even copies have had their guns taken off then in wrestling with criminals
While the intention is good it is still such a minute change. In Australia we just banned semi automatic weapons outright after The Port Arthur massacre. Do what needs to be done.
All this pussy footing with laws and BS...Ban them immediately!!!
If only we could.
What a great idea. America will never ever do that. Too much money in the hands of the people running this country. How many mass shootings just THIS year? It gets worse and worse. We stupid!
Absolutely the right decision guys, well done! I wish that kind of more direct approach was used more often
There’s no organization offering senators as much money to make gun control laws as the NRA pays to stop that legislation. Money is the root of every issue in America
“Freedom has to be reviewed by each generation” great statement and belief.
from the people that want censorship and forced vaccinations!
Just an extention of "We must erase and misrepresent the past so we can call it and everyone in it all bad, so we can use that as a platform to rewrite history to our benefit". Basically all this means is they want to rewrite the Constitution without the INALIENABLE rights that they don't like...
Nonsense.
I've never owned a gun; but I still took a gun safety course. I thought it important; because, in the event that I ever find myself in a situation where a gun might vastly improve my chance of survival AND I happen to somehow gain access to one, I certainly want to know how to use it to my best advantage.
I think everybody ought to take a gun safety course, whether they intend to own one, or not.
As a Canadian who grew up on a farm, I took a gun safety course in order to go hunting. As an American, you are taking a gun safety course to "vastly improve your chance of survival".
Profound.
@@Leftatalbuquerque so hunting humans isn't a thing in Canada?
@@ThatOpalGuy when was the last time you heard of a mass shooting in Canada?
I myself took gun classes but I don't own a gun right now
@@kasaitenma5546 never,here in America it's an everyday thing now. So disheartened. I wish things were better like back in the day when I grew up. Playing outside with friends, walking to school without worrying about getting shot and without a care in the world
I love Cory Booker. Fairly recently, Jon Stewart and Cory had a sit-down discussion about life, the universe, and everything (and race) and it was so, so, so, so real, no BS, and inspirational. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s long, but soooooo worth it. I was riveted.

Love me some Cory Booker ! 💙
Booker is so honorable, intelligent and hard-working. He’s also great at explaining things very concisely. We need him in politics more than ever.
I like him very much.
Really? Hes a frickin joke!
@@thomasstickle8023 your a very astute single cell ain't you.
Americans gun obsession is still unfathomable. Many thriving developed countries don't have this obsession.
So what? Gun control is still dumb.
What an intelligent leader! He has my fullest respect.
Thank you for bringing up the straw purchase "loophole" in gun purchasing. All the details matter. Thank you, thank you.
Why are these comments and this pro people ideology so rare from the individuals that claim to represent the US citizenry? Well said Mr. Booker!
Step 1: ban lobbyists
(and they never take step 1...)
Common... sense... gun... reform. Well gl w/ that when the GQP recognizes exactly one of those 4 words.
Oh, well at least that puts them one ahead of the Dems, cause the Dems don't recognize any of those words.
There is no need in hunting or in self defense to own a military assault rifle. Are you going to use an ar15 to fight a person who breaks into your house, and destroy your house? If you are hunting, will you use an ar15 to destroy the animal you are hunting?
Wrong on both counts. The AR-15 is a very versatile weapon for hunting, and many use it for hunting hogs, coyotes, prairie dogs (and other nuisance species) as well as deer. Did you know that the 5.56/.223 caliber bullet most AR-15’s fire is much smaller and does considerably less damage than a typical hunting cartridge like .308 or .30-06 (to the point that some states won’t let you hunt deer with it because it is too small and not powerful enough)? But. Back to the AR platform’s versatility, it can be converted to chamber many other rounds, many of which are fully capable for deer. The AR-15 is also very capable for home defense as it is a fairly small and compact rifle that is easily handled by men and women alike to more accurately put shots on target, and often has less over penetration than many handguns or shotguns, which both can sometimes be harder to operate and be accurate with for smaller people, some women or the elderly. But the main response I have for your comment is that the second amendment has nothing to do with either hunting nor self-defense. The 2nd amendment is about defense from tyranny both foreign and domestic, and yes it intended the people to be armed with weapons of war.
@Kinder Canon thing is, having so many guns around means many people feel terrorized, or living in a tyranny, where heavily armed men scare others. Then it affects people's freedom of speech and movement.
they shouldn't end the filibuster, they should just bring it back to the talking filibuster. make sure its an endurance test and not a bunch of old guys saying filibuster
Yes. Talk about the topic at hand & stay on that topic, maximum of 1 hour speaking.
I disagree, I think overtalking should not be an acceptable form of discourse. Take the floor for as long as you have new points to make, but allowing legislators to hold the microphone long after they have run out of talking points is foolish, and results in people dismissing cogent points because of all the incessant blather that follows.
Manchin and Sinema are against it though
My favorite senator.
Me too.
Just make it requires to have insurance to own a gun, and make gun sellers liable for whatever happens after they sell a person a gun.
Oh, like all car dealers or manufacturers are liable for damage to property or life done by DUI? Please…
@@kindercannon2280 Like bartenders are liable if they keep serving some alcohol who is clearly beyond their threshold and they know they are about to go driving.
Gun sellers are those bartenders. They are giving guns to people who shouldn't have them. And they don't give a damn.
@@ScytheNoire Since you don’t appear to be aware, most gun sellers ARE liable for selling guns in violation of EXISTING regulations. The issue here are some of the loopholes that exist. The point of closing these loopholes should never be to keep guns out of the hands of responsible gun owners. Instead, it should be to keep guns out of the hands of those who are irresponsible with them, like the criminally insane, mentally unstable, and violent prone.
I mean in school you needed a licence to use a sewing machine (at least in my country) and killing someone with a sewing machine is a hell of a lot harder then killing someone with a gun.
And yes a guy in my class got his license taken away after he sewed himself in the finger with two stitches and was not allowed to use the machine the rest of the year.
Which country might this be?
@@ruturajgowaikar7592 Sweden
Hey! I did that. I had my finger under the needle of a commercial embroidery machine (won’t say which company) and the needle ran right through my finger. I broke the needle when I pulled my hand away. I thought I’d gotten away with it until I looked at my finger and there was the tip of the needle. Luckily there was enough sticking out for me to use a pliers to pull it out. Kept on working.
The right to bear arms is a right in this country. So the equivalent to that would be having to get a license for your religion or a license to say what you want. Our country is just fundamentally different. It's like comparing apples to oranges.
That is not a license. It'd be permission and many things at school that could be dangerous to the student, requires permission(i.e. shop, sewing, etc.). What you are trying to imply is incoherent. These permissions or 'licenses' if you prefer, are intended to protect the USER from the thing.
Thank you Senator Cory Booker!!!
I'm confident that the GOP will find a way to turn those 10 Republicans who say they'll support it. We can't have common sense getting in the way of the lobbyists springing for a hunting weekend, can we?
All I can say is I'm glad I'm not a parent.
They tried to have both ways, yes in media no in paper
If the bill text comes out and has radical or just extra crap in it beyond what has been proposed so far, then it will get shot down no question. People mistake the publicised proposals for the entirety of the bill, this is so often not the case. "Common Sense" is just an excuse Dems use to attack anyone who disagrees with their policies, which are almost never actually grounded in either "Common Sense" or "Reality"...
Yeah when those 10 are up for re election they will just spam the election ads with the fact that so and so didn't vote to protect the 2nd amendment. 'Murica.
Sadly, you are probably right.
In my opinion, the assault rifles need to go. we should do like New Zealand did and buy them back. People can still have guns to protect themselves, just not one's that are designed to mow people down. The public shouldn't have access to weapons that can destroy so many lives.
I’m pretty sure you meant to type “the public shouldn’t have access to any guns that could take ANY life” cause that’s really the point
yes. Then we can be a prison country too. The government should have more power over us. Only criminals and celebrities should have the right
Neither of them talked about the gun lobby and how much money goes into the pockets of the politicians who are standing in the way of meaningful (or even minimal) change.
Stephen Colbert sen. Booker on juneteenth we have responsibility awesomeness job interview
If you were hiring a babysitter for the first time, would you do so without a background check 🤔
After seeing so many movies where the babysitter is either in a cult trying to sacrifice the kids or is just a really bad babysitter who invites friends or a boyfriend over. I would definitely do a background check.
Good thing we already do background checks on all firearms purchased legally through dealers.
@@kindercannon2280 only through licensed gun dealers, not counting private sellers, gun shows, or online sales. At least to my understanding.
@@Skypost4ever private sellers account for the smallest fraction of all total gun sales, and are nearly statistically insignificant. Gun shows still require background checks as do online purchases. When buying online, it must be shipped to a licensed FFL/dealer who then conducts the background check and has you fill out a form 4473 prior to transferring the firearm to you. If the background check doesn’t pass you don’t get the gun.
@@kindercannon2280 Whatever, it's still too easy to get a gun. There have been several test examples of people walking into stores like Walmart and walking out with a gun.
Let's face it .. in your country .. you really should do something about "Universal Healthcare"
Continue talking about gun reform. Yes, it can be tiring (trust me, I know), but it is important! Keep this issue in America's attention. STAY LOUD!
I really like my guns, but I fully agree, we need to make it harder to get one. We need REAL background checks. We need to eliminate the loopholes people exploit. And we NEED to enforce these rules.
These same ATF/FBI “background checks” that allowed the Uvalde shooter and Dylan Roof to purchase firearms? “Loopholes” such as what? Majority on homicides with firearms are in urban areas with stolen/illegal firearms in cities like Trenton NJ where Cory grew up. What is the plan to slow this problem?
who cares about the illegal guns
News now, the majority of gun related murders happen in red states where more people are likely to be armed to the teeth
Lol no more guns lol.
I Admire Senator Booker!!!!
He's wonderful.
Like opening a bottle of fine wine: let it “breathe” for a moment.
I love the look on Stephen's face at the end, like he thinks he may be looking at a future president.
I'm saving something for Sunday.
We need a STRONG Dem in 2024, this could be the one,
Well said Corey. Hope it passes.
yeah... maybe the government will get their tyranny. Build back better Joe!
If you drive a car you must also have INSURANCE….DEMAND THAT GUN OWNERS CARRY INSURANCE FOR EVERY GUN THEY OWN. Imagine an insurance company covering the liability insurance for someone who owns an AR 15. IF AN INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN’T DO IT WHY SHOULD WE TOLERATE IT?

Why aren’t we getting the hard hitting questions, like what’s going on with the Asohka show??? Spill the tea Cory!!

No change is too small for gun reform, as long as lobbying still not deemed as bribery like everywhere else
yeah. The criminals with illegal guns are very respectful towards gun legislation
Spartacus!!!!! in the flesh!!!
Straw purchasing is already illegal and it has been. So you don’t need more laws, you need enforcement of the laws. Come on guys do your job.
This!
There's my next President. Right there
At least we all agree on closing the boyfriend loophole and that not just anyone should buy a gun of war no questions asked. Thank you Senator Booker for standing with the people on this issue. It's not much but it's a start in the right direction.
If bill doesn't include universal background checks & assault rifle ban it is not good enough. Vote for ppl who value human life more than corporate profit. Regular mass murder is not normal or acceptable
Thank you! We are not served in any way by the current political stable that places more value toward money and profit than to a living energy system, such as we the people. It is we who are being consumed.

Will they provide a police officer to protect me while I'm being given "due process?"
Address filibuster now, electoral college next!😣😎
He's right filibuster needs to go

Thomas Paine, that is a movie. i.e. Fiction. That's not what the filibuster looks like in real life.

He is a low life.
What money will you point towards children and teens for Mental Health help? As one who was tasked with finding such care and therapy for a child or teen o can say there re darn few places, particularly for children or teens whose parents are told there is nothing to be done until the child breAks the law so badly they will go to Juvenile Holding or Prison.
“If you’re accused of battery” not if you are convicted ?!? *That doesn’t sound right* !!
Am I missing something?
I’m fully pro gun safety but that bs is stupid, believe all women type mentality
It's a temporary ban, you don't need due procedure for that. Also, what happens to battered women in the 6-18 months it takes to get a conviction ? Should they just not leave the house ?

All due respect cause i struggle with mental health, im tired of this being the hot topic talking point. You did t care then. You still dont... So dont use this as your scapegoat. . How bout we just dont let civilians have military weapons? F the 2nd amendment!
I'm glad he pointed out that people with mental health problems are LESS likely to be the perpetrators, and more likely to be the victims of assault. But they are trying to get this passed, and it's the main talking point with Republicans. It's 100% slander, but apparently that's okay if you smear a large group. Maybe this will trick them into funding mental healthcare better? I hope Democrats will take every opportunity to point out that mental illness is not a big cause of violence.
@@Sarcasticron im loving what you ate saying. I also hope dems would get better at "marketing" themselves. A lot of great stuff has happened but a lot has been blocked. Everyone take a tedtalk from AOC lol. The dems massaging is sooooooo bad :/
I wouldn't sell me a weapon that can kill dozens
only criminals should have huns... and celebrity's guards. Common people should have no power
Actually the 2nd amendment does not give anyone the right to own an assault weapon. And there are limits to any right. But I'm with you, since so many Americans think the right to own guns is more important than people's right to live safely and have their children be safe from gun violence, then F the second. Maybe it's time to get rid of it
Just like cars, make gun owners carry insurance. Wrongful damages caused by gun owners covered by insurance. That insurance then becomes impossible to get when gun owners act irresponsibly, just like drivers.
ACCOUNTABILITY!
I'm not convinced the gunshot victims will fully appreciate the effect of the increased insurance premiums on the shooters.
@@ericminch As I'm sure you understand, none of the proposed methods of curbing gun use will fully compensate victims and certainly there is no way to restore a dead person. So try to be logical instead of sarcastic. All proposed efforts are aimed at reducing the number of guns in the wrong hands.
Car insurance doesn't restore lives lost, but it does help to make people accountable.
Go ahead and suggest your own serious proposals and I will listen without sarcasm.
Please remember that we are all in this together.
With that logic, you're cool with poll taxes.
@@craigfelter 😄🙄😄🤪. It's hilarious. People with no experience with activism need to have it explained that 2+2 does not =5.

i think the danger from an abusive spouse or domestic partner should not be defined in a gender specific way. i do not like the term "boyfriend". anyone convicted of assault, domestic or otherwise, should have difficulty acquiring firearms.
it's dv, doesn't matter gender. just a catch phrase to label something, although stats are heavy male v female and abusers with guns are prone to femicide.
Agree 100% Trust me when I say even parents are worried about their adult kids gaining access to guns, when those kids have a history of violent and criminal acts in their youth. Also history of domestic violence and mental health issues which concern all friends and family.
❤
Stop calling it “ mental illness”. There’s too much stigma and assumptions attached to that terminology. Call it Mental Health! That’s what it really is. Stop making it about the negative.
I get what you mean, and appreciate it. There should be no shame. But if someone is terminally ill, like with cancer, there is no shame in saying they are suffering from an illness and need help. I think the stigma could be removed by recognizing it for what it is, and not thinking it’s any different from other illnesses. Everyone needs help, one way or another, and it’s ok. Changing the terminology would not change the truth behind it. Society’s attitude towards mental issues is what needs changing. The conversation about it would drastically shift once we accept that it is indeed a problem for some that requires the government and the community around them to help.
Spartacus! What a pathetic joke!
Corey Booker for president!
Yeah a corporate democrat shillings off the working class Especially the working poor
"Boyfriend loophole?" Why is it assumed that it's always the man who is committing domestic violence?
Dude Cory booker is a talking point robot
No way McConnell is going to vote for it no matter what he says. RIP bill.
Here in Europa, we are not allowed to buy guns at all. Comparing the USA vs Europa, I would choose USA.
How the fuck is this man not president?
I hate politicians
It is a RIGHT not a prevage - the Constitution states, Sentor Booker, that the 2a is the one that you are so afraid of and the right to drive - is NOT in the Constitution - please READ the Constitution before you open your mouthpiece. If you are to speak - get it right!
I'm waiting for the girlfriend loophole comments.
I 100% agree w/ Sen Booker. The only thing I wish he would've added to his argument, is that the vast majority of GUN OWNERS are for common sense responsible gun laws as well. 🙏
Yep, the ones that are already on the books, minus a few that don’t really reduce crime at all and are frivolous.
Umm no. The shitty thing is that most of the time Democrats come to Republicans with "common sense" bills, they actually have hidden stuff written in them. Take the covid relief bill when Trump was President. Sure it had a plan for covid relief, but stacked in there was also millions of dollars for OTHER COUNTRIES. Everyone guilt tripped him for it never talking about what was hidden in the bill most of them didn't read.
Limit magazine size. Questions? Stress R US
No loop hole. You didn’t get the gun violence memo, Colbert. This trigger is not my responsibility.
That’s some idiotic thinking right there.

Conclusion, yes he will try to run for POTUS again given the next available opportunity.
How does this loophole fix any of the shootings in schools lately and 1000 dead a year in Chicago?
How many people who got there drivers licence, by passing every single test, as soon as they get it, they become monster... What happens to the rule that they train for.
funny how most gun crimes are done with illegal guns. Almost makes law abiding people feel like they should be able to self defend but I guess we shouldn't have those rights.
Drunk drivers shouldn't be the only ones punished. We should punish all car drivers. Only police and celebrities should be able yo drive cars because they are dangerous

@@nuckygulliver9607 You are attacking me for what you think I think... See you're assuming I'm a Leftist, because I suggested that Trump wasn't perfect. The fact is that for all of the good things Trump did with policy and pointing out corruption in media, etc. He is also responsible for some very harmful rhetoric that has only continued to send the Leftists and even many moderates further Left. Trump and Biden have both been overall 'good' for America if only to serve as stark contrasts of each other in the public eye.
And on the authoritarian claim, the truth is that in this very comment section I have pointed out the necessity of the filibuster in order to prevent authoritarians from cramming through legislation without a true majority. So next time don't assume someones politics as an excuse to attack them.
REMOVE guns from Domestic Terrorists >>>
Im just a bill
All due respect Sen Booker, Americans HAVE been letting our elected officials know we want this. We have been screaming loud and clear to our elected officials "WE WANT THIS!" The resistance has always been from the right in the senate. Either do away with the filibuster or do away with the senate. I say that only partially facetiously.

I wonder if they realize they will be voted out and the Republican Party will gain power if they don’t stop the games.
IMO 21 is too young, especially for males. Brain 🧠 research shows that the brain doesn’t fully mature in women until ~23, & in men until ~25.
Love the idea of a gun LICENSE like a driver’s license 🪪. Test for skills, renew periodically based on current performance, loose the license when skills are lacking.
Lose the license when skills fail.
Sounds like infringement upon basic human rights. How about I take your right to own knives if you can't effectively fight with one or use one as effectively as a master chef?
Unfortunately and I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm sure in 2023 we'll still be reading about mass shootings! As brought to you by the Republican Party!
Again I don’t understand why people keep bringing up ending the filibuster because they know that is not possible at this time. So why even bring it up?
A license for guns?? Sorry that's not how rights work. You license privileges, not rights.
Do people have a right to go places without being shot?
@@emilydavison2053 Under the 9A, yes.
There are limits to rights. And if we can't do anything about gun violence in this country because people like you think the 2nd supersedes all other rights, then it's time to get rid of the 2nd amendment.
@@cathywethington5913
I don't believe the Second Amendment supersedes all rights. All amendments in the Bill of Rights are equal. If you want to amend the Constitution to either repeal or reform the 2A, then we the people are free to do so using the amendment process outlined in the Constitution. So often I hear someone talking about there being limits to rights, and I can't help but think that what they really mean is to convert that right into a privilege.
Quite frankly we want AR15's sales stop. Take care of other shita after!##!!###
Sounds like a whole lot of nothing productive. Good job virtue signaling though...
Amusing to watch politicians going through the motions of pretending to try and get any gun reforms done. They really think the American people are absolutely stupid.
they know that when they get the guns away they'll be able to install tyranny so it gas to be done carefully so people don't notice.
Amusing to watch Americans kill each other daily and not do anything about it. In fact, the Right seem to celebrate it.
Can you point to any evidence to the contrary?
I don't believe all Americans are stupid. But I do believe that most Americans are incapable of critical thinking. I'll point to my evidence: Trump in 2016.
