Every time I read something like this (which is EVERY time they outlaw something) I wonder if the libs think about how they are arming criminals.

Think about it for a minute. All these guns, accessories, ammunition, etc that are banned are driven underground. The original person owning it probably doesn’t go out and sell it to a criminal after it is banned. However, after he dies, the wife will give it to a relative to dispose of discretely (since turning it in at that point is a crime). That relative may not have the scruples of the original owner. Or, he may turn it over to someone (to keep from getting caught with it) with even fewer scruples.

It seems to me that more banned items will end up in the hands of criminals after a ban, than there would be without a ban.

The state of New Jersey has become the latest to ban bump-stocks for firearms, and despite strict threats to owners who refuse to turn their newly illegal devices over to police, not a single resident has complied with the new law.

That's probably because among the predominantly submissive residents of New Jersey, not a single one of them owns either an AR-15 or a bump stock.

(ducks)...

I don't know that there are "few" guns in New Jersey. While there are fewer than Texas, by my count there were over 700K NICS background checks made for the state since Obama's 2008 election.

I don't know of any range in the state that a bump stock wouldn't get you thrown off. And there is no deserted desert to go to. The state is more densely populated than Japan.

If you did buy a bump stock for the novelty value, and found you could sell it on Gunbroker for twice what you bought it for, wouldn't you sell?

Don’t worry. They will find a Stooge and make an example of them.

It worked for the Nazis, it worked for the Commies and it will work for New Jersey.

Civil disobedience. Remember Prohibition?
