    Get ready for a BIG SURPRISE! Two Arrested, Two Guns Recovered In Gun Controlled NJ Posted at 8:00 pm on January 22, 2020 by Tom Knighton https://bearingarms.com/tomk/2020/01/22/two-arrested-two-guns-recovered/?utm_source=badaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=bc1d86e1053dd21c60a121534def959c The state of New Jersey has a lot of gun control. In fact, it’s one of the most gun controlled states in the country. Like California and Illinois, it often seems like the state has never heard a gun control proposal it didn’t like. Yet despite all that gun control, New Jersey has a problem with so-called gun violence. Recently a couple of people were arrested and a couple of guns recovered in the gun control state. Jersey City police responding the Booker T. Washington housing complex at 6:20 p.m. on a complaint of drug dealing approached a 17-year-old boy who then fled, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. Police quickly apprehended the teen, who was charged with possession of a firearm by a minor, possession of prohibited weapon, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and resisting arrest. At 11:40 p.m., police arrested 19-year-old Darby Shirden in the area of Fulton and Rose avenues after he fled from police, said Wallace-Scalcione, who noted that the handgun Shirden discarded during the chase was recovered. So we have two people, both too young to purchase a handgun, in possession of handguns in one of the most gun controlled states in the nation. I mean, it’s almost like gun control doesn’t work or something. New Jersey gun control voices would likely chime out about how this is all the fault of other states that don’t have tight gun control laws. Governor Phil Murphy threatened to shame those states in an effort to push them to do what he wanted them to. Obviously, I don’t buy that. First, these two couldn’t have purchased their guns anywhere legally. They’re both under the age of 21. That’s the federally mandated age limit for purchasing a firearm. That means these guns were likely black market guns. I hate to break it to you, but black market guns are usually stolen guns, meaning no amount of gun control is going to stop the flow of guns there. Yet will anyone look at this and recognize that maybe, just maybe, there are bigger problems at play than access to guns, especially since these people–one not even old enough to vote–are walking around with guns while the state heavily restricts everyone else from lawfully doing so? The criminals aren’t obeying those laws, so tell me again how shall issue laws are enabling criminals? Tell me again how constitutional carry doesn’t help the law-abiding citizens? I don’t care how many times I say it; some simply won’t get it. The criminals will not obey the gun laws laid down at any level of government. As a result, only the law-abiding citizens who may have been threatened by these two would be disarmed. They were set to be oppressed by the tyranny of the thug, a real problem in so many of our American cities governed by gun control enthusiasts; people who often have private security for themselves and their families. New Jersey’s gun control laws failed, just as all gun control laws fail. It’s too bad they’ll never acknowledge that.

    Got it running. The blower motor runs ok. I played with the pressure switch some more, I think I had the vacuum lines inadvertently swapped around. Since the tech is already in the way, I’ll at least have him get me a spare pressure switch. The guy who originally installed the system did a crap job, and the gas line puts pressure on the bottom of the motor case. Sometimes this makes noise, and has, in the past, caused the motor to overheat due to pressure on the motor. Almost putting it in a bind. I’ll have him fix that. Get my moneys worth.

    I'm going to print those articles and send them, along with another set of 2A sanctuary petitions, to my county freeholders. I was at the public meeting earlier this month when they heard people speak in favor for the petitions, but the chairman was not there so they postponed voting until next month. Here is more recent evidence that gun control only disarms law abiding citizens.

    And Liberal Judges that allow this pattern. All the laws are already on the books but simply not being applied.

    Credible studies show that most gun crimes are committed by ex-felons, and about half of those cases are while the felon is still on parole from the previous felony. So, this situation described is not the least bit unusual - it's the "norm". I'm guessing most street cops know that just by merit of their jobs - arresting the same "frequent flyers" over and over again. I would also imagine that this general pattern of repeat offenders is only going to escalate with the new focus on 1) reducing prison populations and 2) doing away with bail. We are watching some epically stupid policies being pushed....

    Is that even news anymore? Probably occurs everyday in Jersey City, Trenton, or Newark. BTW, an 18 YOA can legally acquire handguns, just not from a dealer, or as a NJ resident.

    A cowboy, who just moved to Montana from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Beer. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, "You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time." The cowboy replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains. "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking." “It hasn't affected my brothers though."

    I recall some recent discussions on this forum abort how some individuals in New Jersey get the mandatory minimum and some don't. I cant go into details for confidentiality reasons, but i know of an individual who illegally purchased a gun in......gulp....yes....New Jersey and was caught. I am pretty sure he met the criteria for unlawful posession of a firearm with intent to use for unlawful purposes, which i believe is a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison. This happened about 3 years ago and i cant find him on the department of corrections website. He is also not in the county jail the last time i looked, so, it appears that equal treatment under the law is a joke in this state.

    Do you have a link? I'm curious if the upstanding felon was out on bail or finished his (likely shortened) sentence.

    Just read today about how a felon was arrested for threatening another person by pointing a loaded gun at them. One month after being released from prison for aggravated assault. He's facing a whole year on federal charges. One single year for a felon illegally possessing a weapon and threatening someone with it. But shooting at the range at paper targets with a so-called assault weapon gets you 5 years (3 served then probation). Sounds like politicians on every level have their priorities messed up.

    I never understood the whole shaming threat. If Phil Murphy decided to shame any aspect of my public or private life, I'd only take it as a sure sign that I was doing something right.

    I think it's fine to have your "favorite" 2A org(s) - most of us do, after all! That said, I have come to recognize that no group is going to execute everything perfectly... or focus on what we keyboard warriors think they should...and perhaps we should stop "eating our own"...? I applaud this lawsuit and wish them Godspeed... much as I applaud legal actions by ANJRPC (our NRA affiliate)… and as I also applaud a number of 2A orgs operating in NJ (both large and small) who put their primary focus not on lawsuits but on engaging and training new shooters and/or growing a corps of NRA-certified instructors, etc. - ALL of that is good stuff IMO. I'll be the first to admit, I've been guilty of saying negative things about a 2A org myself, but I'm trying to think before I type now. My belief is that a well-deserved "thumbs up" for one organization is only cheapened when it contains a slam on another. It's just not helpful. Just my 2 cents!

    Sorry, just saw this thread. Do NOT buy anymore replacements of what you had. Order a couple Honeywell Glowfly universal ignitors. I started using them 5-6 years before I retired 5 years ago and never had one go bad. About $30 on Amazon

    It's a weak federal law that is weak because Republicans refuse to do any punishments involving guns.

    Hahaha, you think it's the Democrats pushing light punishments for crimes involving guns in Congress?
