I really despise the idiots who govern my state. I despise even more the majority of New Jersey voters who keep voting for Dems like its their religion, or for RINOs for that matter.

“Every time I think about it, I think of what a huge mistake it was,” Narciso said. “I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused.”
Bluebellies ain’t what they use to be.
These people are insane.
Doubleplusgood, prole.
NJ is a toxic toilet. (would have used ‘commode’ but am an alliteration aficionado)
The only reason to ever go there is cheap gas. Duck across the border and fill up, then adios Garden State.
Honestly, we would be better off with a wall around New Jersey than along the Mexican border.
Let me guess what the X stands for..."xhole"
Another reason I'd never live in such a state.
Frank Graves was quite a character. A law and order nut who nevertheless could not stop Paterson from descending into chaos from the 1960s on. Allowed organized crime and drug dealing to go on while leading neighborhood “patrols”, the media always in tow. Something of a racist until changing demographics changed him into Mr. Affirmative Action. He was the last of the old school Paterson machine Dems, which are only distinguished from the current crop of miscreants by being able to read.
Global warming to late Cretaceous levels would do wonders for this country. Higher sea levels would submerge quite a number of small blue states and force the removal of their representation. The elimination of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Deleware would improve Republican prospects in the Senate and the Electoral College.
Thanks for the history lesson.
Disgusting - we are living to support lawyers, judges, and cops.

Here in Virginia, anything capable of discharging a projectile is considered a firearm, no matter what the actual method of propulsion is. And considering that, properly pumped up, my old Crossman air pistol can fire a .177 caliber pellet or dart at up to 1000 fps, that’s probably fair.
I’m a little unclear on what the specific offense in this case is. The air pistol was “unsecured” lying in the backseat or window of the car. What action is necessary to acceptably secure it? There was no firearms registration card with it. Is one required for a pellet gun?
Good Lord. I remember removing the barrel from my Red Ryder when the cops came around (to prove i wasn’t shooting anything). Darn thing looked like a 16 ga now. I walked right up to their car and said hello. :^) He didn’t say anything but took a good look at the handle. (I was 9, LOL)
