(SNIP)
This bill restricts the sale, importation, possession and carrying of handguns except by certain authorized persons. Antique handguns and handguns determined by the Superintendent of State Police to be collectibles, commemoratives or curios are exempted.
Authorized persons would include those presently permitted to possess and carry handguns for work-related purposes, including law enforcement officers and members of the military. The bill also provides, however, that a homeowner or a storeowner may acquire and possess a handgun for self-protection if they can demonstrate a "justifiable need."
(SNIP) 5. N.J.S.2C:39-9 is amended to read as follows: (SNIP) d. Weapons. Any person who manufactures, causes to be manufactured, transports, ships, sells or disposes of any weapon, including gravity knives, switchblade knives, ballistic knives, daggers, dirks, stilettos, billies, blackjacks, metal knuckles, sandclubs, slingshots, cesti or similar leather bands studded with metal filings, [or in the case of firearms if he is not licensed or registered to do so as provided in chapter 58,]is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.” — James Madison
And that was the reason the founders wrote the second amendment.
How about that they are citizens of this country and are PROTECTED(from liberal commies/Democrats) by the 2nd Amendment?
It says only the cops and the mil can have guns, knives, ect... Everyone else is a criminal.
yea, the “justifiable need” statement jumped out at me too..
does being in fear of ones life constitute “justifiable need”??
She just wasted her breath. We already have laws for criminals.
Gotta love Jersey.....the state where you cannot even pump your own gas!

(SNIP) 5. N.J.S.2C:39-9 is amended to read as follows: (SNIP) d. Politics: Any person who holds office while acting, impersonationating or in truth being a MORON is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
What about pointed sticks? ;-)
Seriously, are they that pussified?
One of the inherent tactical strengths of liberalism. They NEVER obey, or pay attention to, any law they don’t like. They leave that to the rest of us. Just take a look at the states, cities, etc [D.C comes to mind], that have basically ignored HELLER. Look at the ongoing national scandal regarding Planned Parenthood, underaged girls, and lack of enforcement of statutes on the books.
Now, their laws, however...
slingshots??
and pointy sticks?
everyone is considered a criminal in a communist country
I don't know. the day a serf can't take off his loin-chothe spread sand on it and roll it back up again......
That’s been around for a year with no co-sponsers.
Scary as it is, I don’t think it’s got a snowball’s chance in hell.
On the face of it, it’s unconstitutional based on Heller. This would be a defacto ban on hand guns and it wouldn’t do a damn thing except make criminals out of non-criminals.
New Jersey - where the state bird is the upraised middle finger.
slingshots are just out. Pointy sticks we'll get to later, then on to blunt instruments. At least here in ny
Assemblywoman L. Grace Spencer:
Go to Heller.
