"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I'm not holding my breath.
SCOTUS said the purpose of the second Amendment was for hunting and self defense in the home. In the Democrat Liberal Fantasyland called New Jersey, you are not permitted to use deadly force against an intruder. You can only use deadly force if you are unable to flee and the attacker corners you. That means you have to run OUT of your house, if possible, presumably WITH your gun, until the attacker catches up to you and only then can you blow him away. Which then puts you in jeopardy for having a loaded firearm outside your home.
In the real world, like for instance in most states in the U.S., this would not be a real issue.
But in the Fantasyland of Ann Milgram, Jon Corzine and Tommy Kean (both of them - Senior and Junior) this is reality - and their relaity conflicts with this recent court decision.
I wonder what that legal Solon Tommy Kean Senior has to say about this recent decision? He's on record as stating the Second Amendment is not an individual right. Guess its back to Constitutional Law 1 and maybe basic English and American History for him!!
Attorney General Anne Milgram said ‘The mafia doesn’t want the competition’......
Is the AG capable of recognizing that criminals are the only ones “less safe” when the citizens are armed?
I hate socialists.
Question; What was the actual order the Supreme Court issued yesterday?
Answer:
"In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun possession in the home violates the Second Amendment, as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense. Assuming that Heller is not disqualified from the exercise of Second Amendment rights, the District must permit him to register his handgun and must issue him a license to carry it in the home."
Right, preaching 'public safety' by stringent control of law-abiding gunowners has only garnered you more Federal monies(our tax dollars) for expanding law-enforcement to have more control over just the law-abiding.
The laws in your state, Pascrell, have NOTHING to do with 'public safety' and everything to do with sucking on the Federal teat.
Stopped at the State Police Barracks ( Zoo Jersey ) today and picked up THREE permits for handgun purchase . Told the trooper at the window “ Great day for the NRA.” Then told him , I’ve only purchased four handguns in the last 26 years, but now New Jersey is telling me they want to limit my purchases to 1 a month . Guess I have to buy 12 this year . He didn’t know what to say !!
What can "strong and effective" possibly mean in the context of bodies on the ground?
Washington and New Jersey are states of comparable population and comparable per capita income.
Washington is a "shall issue" state while New Jersey has one of the most restrictive firearm licensing laws in the nation.
New Jersey has a firearm homicide rate that is 70% higher than Washington's - 3.2 per 100,000 vs. 1.9 per 100,000.
The whole point of the 2nd Amendment was to provide the means to undertake the civic responsibility to defend against tyranny. In other words, we the citizen have failed in our duty.
The Constitution and the Supreme Court put together still mean nothing to a Communist.
