People assume that in states like New Jersey or New York, everyone is a big, anti-gun liberal. Right?
Wrong.
In upstate NY (where I grew up), people are furious over the SAFE Act.
In Connecticut, there was an outright revolt. 95% of gun owners refused to register their firearms.
In south and central New Jersey, people are incensed at the illogical and unconstitutional "assault weapons" law.
Here is an illustration of how stupid and illogical these laws are. In NJ, you cannot have a combination of a collapsible or folding stock, a flash suppressor, pistol grip, bayonet lug, etc.
When asked why they wrote that law that you have to pin the collapsible stock, the answer was: "Because it makes the gun more concealable, and therefore more deadly!" OK, so you have to ruin a perfectly good stock, and pin it. But you can pin it fully closed if you want, so long as it is pinned.
Therefore, the permanent pinning of the stock makes it.........MORE CONCEALABLE.
But there is not "logic" to this, it is just harassment and fascism.
I pray that Trump battles this insanity and does something about it. Here in NJ, honest, good people have gone to prison (serving hard time with violent criminals) because they ran afoul of our entrapment "gun laws."
