The “Garden State” is overrun with weeds.
This is where 0bamacare and the indoctrination centers (aka public schools) are now going to be used to effectively take away a heretofore God-given, Constitutionally-protected right.
Very likely this was conceived of decades ago.
Reminds me of: “I didn’t say anything when they went after the smokers, because I didn’t smoke...”
.....another super wealthy Marxist who
thinks he’s King....money grabbing socialist taxing the citizens to force his agenda upon the people.
They could've passed one bill that did ALL these things (and that bill would've surely failed at the USSC) instead they broke it down into six (seven..) separate bills, each requiring their own challenge through the court system.
Expensive. Time Consuming. This is their latest tactic folks. It's easy to see.
Lock and load
What a shame I just sold my house yesterday. I will send Governor “Joker” Murphy a postcard/thank you note when I get to my next destination. The thank you is because my wife is a lifelong Jersey resident and I could never have convinced her to leave until this clown took office.
Note, in all their “common sense”’ gun laws there is one (the ten round magazine) that instantly makes all gun owners criminals.
It appears that not only our first amendment rights (like baking cakes) is under assault, but the second as well.
Thanks for posting.
This is just a way to seize guns from non-violent citizens and leave them in the hands of violent criminals. They have no intention of taking them from criminals. They want Whitey’s guns.
NJ police are gonna be busy rounding up all of the Sopranos and all the made men of NJ.
If Its possible. I would just move.
“the governor is expected to sign a package of bills approved by the Democrat-controlled Legislature”
He’ll have to be sitting down when he signs or else the bulge will embarass him.
“A2758, which will strictly define that state residents need to show a “justifiable need” “
Death threats on your answering machine or having been shot and wounded are not sufficient grounds.
They can pass whatever they like. Do not comply. Rights are rights. They cannot be removed. These rights are worldwide. US happens to have them written down in the constitution, but everyone is born with these rights. They’re God given.
These monkeys think they can strip rights with a pen, I don’t think so.
Oh good, because family members never fight, have drug abuse problems, try to cheat each other out of inheritances, hold grudges... Why heck, so-called "domestic disturbance" calls are considered easy by law enforcement. This won't be abused at all... :-/
* A1181, which will mandate law enforcement in the state to seize a person’s guns if a mental health professional determines they pose a threat to themselves.
Great, so-called "mental health professionals" never have their own agenda, and the criteria for stripping someone of their rights - the tagging them as a "threat" - isn't open for interpretation or abuse...
* A2758, which will strictly define that state residents need to show a “justifiable need” to obtain a permit to carry a handgun — meaning they must show they face a specific threat to their own safety.
Just plain wildly un-Constitutional. It is called the Bill of Rights not the Bill of Needs. Blatant infringement.
* A2757, which will require all private gun sales in the state to go through a licensed dealer who can perform an additional background check at the point of sale.
Several other States have this, with no noticeable effect on crime. Why, it's almost as if criminals don't follow the laws... How about that.
* A2759, which will create an outright ban in the state on possessing armor-piercing bullets.
Depending on how this is worded it could be a huge problem. Yes, "armor-piercing" handgun rounds and even 5.56mm rounds can punch through most "bullet-proof" vests. (maybe not plate carriers though) There is even an ATF definition of AP - which oddly enough does *not* included M855 LAP... Anyway, this is obvious incrementalism. Worse, if it is worded as banning *any* ammunition capable of piercing "bullet-proof" vests then it will outlaw some very common rifle calibers. "Bullet-proof" vests really only stop typical handgun and light rifle rounds. Your average deer rifle or modest sized game rifle is capable of defeating vests... They may have accidentally (or intentionally) over-reached on this one.
* A2761, which will ban magazines in the state that hold more than 10 rounds, with some exceptions.
Idiotic, useless, feel-good measure intended only to harass law abiding citizens. In most crimes and defensive handgun uses only a few shots (3 - 5?) are fired. In so-called mass-shooting events these are almost universally (98% or more) perpetrated in "gun free zones" where the shooter typically has double-digit minutes to murder people before law enforcement arrives and eventually confronts him/her. A magazine restriction that causes the whack-job to perform a couple of extra magazine swaps, requiring mere seconds and often accomplished while seeking additional targets - is tactically useless. Every single mass shooting in the past 10 years could have been performed with "reduced" magazine capacities with zero effect on the outcome.
Way to go 'Jersey - don't let California lead the Country in stupidity, make it a horse race...
— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Not one greedy lawyer will step forward to launch a class action 2nd amendment civil rights case. It is way past due. And it could be bigger than the tobacco case.
New Jersey Constitution, Article II, Section 6:
‘No idiot or insane person shall enjoy the right of suffrage.’
This portion needs to be enforced.
I support those rules in NJ. And when the violence only goes UP, it will offer dramatic proof that gun grabbers only care about grabbing guns.
Let NJ liberals drop their masks and show what liberals all around the country REALLY want! Every Democrat who says, “Common sense gun laws” WANTS to follow NJ.
I treasure the day I moved from the Northeast. It was similar, in feeling, to the Russian Jews who escaped the Soviet Union for Israel — to which I claim relation, being as my father descended from Russian Jews.
You get what you vote for.
