The problem is not guns but culture of a segment of a particular “protected class.”

What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?
The problem isn't the guns, the problem is the people. So long as you have young, mostly black men who think they have to be the tough guy gangsta' you will have shootings. Get to them young. Teach them business and capitalism. Teach them gun safety and that no matter how tough they think they are they are not tougher than a steel blade or a lead bullet.

If it's a "New Gun" for every lawful citizen, then yes.
But I know that's not what they mean.

“But will pressure on Smith & Wesson from the state of New Jersey do anything to curb street violence in places like Jersey City?”
This is so stupid it makes my teeth hurt.

Of course not.
That is not even the real intention of such laws. It is just a cover story.
The Rulers insist that the Peasants bow down before them and the subjects may not even think of forcible objection to the impositions of the Government. Certainly the Peasants cannot be allowed to have any kind of weapon.

It’s not about guns. It’s about control. Murphy is farming support from the Moms and Bloomberg idiots.

I remember when Vermont had NO MURDERS. Way back in 1967 or 1968.
To: Jim Noble
S&W can certainly find friendlier places to do there work. I’d love to have them in Idaho. I have a few of their firearms. We here are 2nd Amendment friendly to a fault, but I may be just a bit partial to S&W pistols from the model 3 forward.

No ... ‘Rat tyranny just promotes crime.
Freedom will reduce crime.

Martin Luther King Drive that's always a sure sign of a bad neighborhood.

“How about the example of Vermont when only in very recent times there was basically no gun control and very little, if any, violent crime?“
One might note that Vermont’s population is 94.7% Caucasian...
But that would be racist, or something.

Definitely, criminals are really careful about following gun laws.

Will new gun initiatives help stop violence in New Jersey’s cities? No, but it will no doubt make criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens.

As a sixty-three year resident of New Jersey, let me assure you that AlaskaEric is not exaggerating in the least bit. If anything, he might be understating the case. If you haven’t experienced N.J. you just cannot conceive of their paranoid cluelessness.
To: SMGFan
Of course not, but that’s not the point of it.

Taking the means of self defense from people almost guarantees MORE violence.
