Allens case illustrates an essential truth of gun control. No matter how its proponents attempt to justify it under the guise of violence prevention, public safety, or even public health, its primary purpose is to promote a social and political agenda. The same ruthless despotism that results in school officials berating a harmless child for a zero tolerance infraction until the boy wets his pants is reflected here in the attitude of the Atlantic County Prosecutors Office. Shaneen Allen caused no harm. By all accounts, she acted in good faith, unaware she was violating an unusual and totally arbitrary prohibition. Yet all that is irrelevant to the State of New Jersey, which is willing to ruin not just her life, but the life of her two young children, to demonstrate just how unwelcome firearms are in the state.

If the full faith and credit clause can be used to force one state to accept the marriage of a gay couple from another state, I see no reason why it wouldn’t also cover firearm possession.

I used to go to Parsippany a lot for business, but as far as I am concerned, New Jersey is a state best avoided.

Precisely. Maybe this needs to go to the SCOTUS.

Meanwhile, members of a certain gang have vowed to kill NJ police officers. It’s tough for me to pick sides in that dispute, given how they treat gun owners.

The State will go to extraordinary lengths to protect its voters from the law-abiding citizens who have guns...... just like Mexico and The 2014 Vacationer of the Year.

Full faith and credit is only applied by the liberals when it pushes a liberal cause. Since homosexual marriage is a liberal cause, they push the full faith and credit clause to impose homosexual marriage everywhere.
Since the liberals do not believe in the right to carry a concealed weapon, they do not want to see full faith and credit applied in a situation such as this one.

It would be so much easier if people realized that “shall not be infringed” means EXACTLY what it says.

I looked up the judge to see who appointed him; surely he has to be a RAT appointee. Imagine my surprise when the sites I found said...NOTHING about the appointment.
Maybe I looked in the wrong places.

This guy is either a liberal idiot or a conservative that thinks this case has “legs” and will result in nationwide reciprocity.

Governor Christie should pardon the gal pronto. This is why I won’t go east of the Kansas border.

This is what they do. Arrest normal, non-violent law-abiding citizens and proclaim that they are fighting crime.
Meanwhile, they deliberately and intentionally leave guns in the hands of violent criminals.
They are aware of what they are doing.

The laws are confusing for a reason: to trap innocent, law-abiding non-violent people in the law and brand them unjustly as criminals.

The laws are confusing for a reason: to trap innocent, law-abiding non-violent people in the law and brand them unjustly as criminals.There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

Another person arrested for trying to "keep and bear arms".
We shouldn't be looking to Governor Christie to right this wrong, but to the Supreme Court of the United States, to whom this defendant should make an emergency appeal for dismissal; one which should be granted immediately with a brief statement quoting the Second Amendment.
To: LucianOfSamasota
Here's some assistance to the Supreme Court so that they don't have to spend much time authoring an opinion:
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, as clarified by this Court's decisions in Miller and McDonald, protects the individual right to keep and bear arms for self-defense. Whereas the defendant is neither a felon nor has she been adjudicated as mentally defective, and whereas this Court cannot justify treating the entire state of New Jersey as a "sensitive place", therefor the charges against the defendant shall be dismissed. It is so ordered."
See, ... it's really not all that complicated.
