NJ targets gun traffickers owners

Fixed it.

[Vaquero]

Yeah, perhaps if the Peoples Republic of NJ were to arrest and prosecute people who committed violent crimes with firearms, rather than, making the gun itself the crime, they might keep crime to a minimum in Jersey.

No, what they want to do is to protect their “ constituents”(you know the gang bangers) and prevent responsible citizens from being able to protect themselves. Thats the leftist way.

[ZULU]

My guess is they will pull in Joe Sportsman traveling out of state who buys a rifle for himself at a gun show while Mr. Criminal Gun dealer will, as usual, cop a plea or not even be detected.

[Dead Corpse]

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives keeps a database of the make, model and buyer of weapons sold across the nation.

O'rly? Didn't the SCOTUS tell them this violates a gun owners privacy and that they cannot keep such a database?

[Plain Old American]

"Analysts watch for “straw-buyers,” people who buy the guns legally and sell them on the street without a permit. They also flag weapons involved in crimes shortly after being purchased." Not what a straw-buyer does....

[Pessimist]

“About 15 percent of the 3,800 guns recovered in New Jersey and traced by the ATF came from Pennsylvania in 2007, a state with weaker gun laws”

15%? Doesn’t seem like very much really.

[Parley Baer]

Why don't they look into political crime in the state? I would suspect NJ rates a right up there in dimocRAT crooks.

NJ is well on its way to this:

The liberal “catch and release” law enforcement ensures that everyone is afraid and needs the police to protect them because they are denied the means to protect themselves.

[Aroostook25]

“We’re going to start knocking on doors at the end of January,” said state police Detective Sgt. Eric Barlow.

And exactly what does that mean?

Are they going to get a database of all gun purchasers nationwide and crossmatch that to residents of New Jersey, then knock on their doors?

Database? What database?

Oh, the one that Mayors Bloomberg and Daley want to use too.

[Doe Eyes]

Didn't the SCOTUS tell them this violates a gun owners privacy and that they cannot keep such a database?

Where did you get that idea?

[SkyDancer]

I heard/read that it was for only thirty days - the records are still there but nobody in law enforcement can access them including the feds ....

[Dead Corpse]

Only that a NICs check was run and if it was allowed or denied. This goes WAY beyond that. FFL’s 4473’s are to be kept in a bound volume. It was for four years, last I heard it’s forever now. If you close out your business and turn in your license, you are now required to turn in ALL of your 4473’s.

[Oldpuppymax]

They’re going to “start knocking on doors in January.” Now that should send a chill up the spine of every actual American. Undoubtedly they’ll begin in the most dangerous areas...middle and upper class white communities. You know, where all the crime is.

[SkyDancer]

WOW - so the fed’s go through their records to find out where a gun was purchased and then go to the dealer?

[Dead Corpse]

For the last couple of years, the Feebies have been carrying portable scanners around to FFL's when they do audits. Each 4473 gets scanned.

This is no part of Title 18, Chap 44, 923's provisions.

[Vaquero]

and needs the police to protect them

Police are really not there to protect.

Police get there in time to clean up your brain matter on the walls and ask some questions.

MOLON LABE!!

[SkyDancer]

So I guess this means the fed’s know who has guns or not except what is bought at gun shows or through the classifieds.
