A state senator from Cape May has introduced a bill (S-2264) to make it easier for New Jerseyeans to carry handguns. Jeff Van Drew, who owns two guns himself, proposes that New Jerseyeans should be able to carry guns if they take a gun safety class, pass a rigorous background check and pay an annual $500 licensing fee. Gun control advocates, unsurprisingly, hate the measure, which is modeled on a similar program in Pennsylvania. Gun groups think the $500 fee is excessive.

Good Lord, only in New Jersey.
NJ: Rigorous background check, gun-safety class, $500 fee
PA: Standard background check, no class, no fee
Yeah, they are very similar...
The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says “shall not be infringed”, not “with government’s permission, if you take a safety course and pay $500 per year”!
“..and pay an annual $500 licensing fee”
What’s the annual fee for freedom of speach or equal rights?
What? You mean you only have to pay for some constitutional rights?

Pole?
“pay an annual $500 licensing fee.”
Ridiculous, and exorbitant!
“Should it be easier to carry a gun in NJ?”
They should have asked “Should it be easier to LEGALLY carry a gun in NJ.”
From what I hear, it’s just as easy to carry a gun in NJ as it is in PA. Same gravitational pull and everything.
I know... that is my argument as well. This is NJ and is total BS. This tells me that they are preparing for lawsuits!
A $500 fee to practice a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!!! Sounds just about right for New Jersey. How much do they want for that little freedom of speach thing???

LOL... I typed so fast I did not [even] realize that. This site needs a way to “edit” posts. Remember, only liberals are perfect and never need to use the “edit” button...
