Some of us are old men who know the business of killing and are not going to be pushed back one more inch. The fact is they cannot enforce it...at all. Enforcement is by those willing to accept it....consent of the governed... Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent my e-mail opposing the five bills ANJPRC stated was scheduled to be heard tomorrow. I got an e-mail today for NJ2AS stating there were four additional bills scheduled for Wednesday as well. Nationally, the only way this turns out favorably for us is if the U.S Supreme Court states exactly what the requirements are to get a concealed carry permit. However I doubt that they would ever go into that level of detail. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However I doubt that they would ever go into that level of detail. Nationally, CCW is already favorable. It's a handful of states that are problematic. They don't need to be that specific. Simply state it shall not be discretionary, and any disqualifying parameters must be objective, and exceptional. Or better yet state that anyone who is not disqualified from owning a firearm (keep) shall not be forbidden by a permitting process form carrying it (bear). Slap that on top of strict scrutiny, and NJ can fuck around, but they will find out in court. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,811 Posted June 21, 2022 NJ just had its "we don't care if you're eligible under LEOSA, you still have to get a NJ carry permit, and you can't carry hollowpoints" restriction struck down: Quote NEW: FLEOA v. Grewal (D. NJ): Federal judge rules that LEOSA preempts New Jersey's laws requiring retired police obtain a state permit before carrying guns and prohibiting them from carrying hollow point ammo. The judge also ruled that the law enforcement org plaintiffs had associational standing to challenge the laws and cited NYSRPA v. NYC to rule that the state's new guidance (issued after the start of lawsuit) does not moot the case. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.434536/gov.uscourts.njd.434536.60.0.pdf ------ ----- 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,916 Posted June 21, 2022 I wrote to the NJ legislature critters: Quote Dear Sir/Madam, Please vote against any and all of the proposed legislation to restrict firearms and body armor that is being pushed through the NJ legislature. These proposals will have no material effect on law-breakers except to make more people unwittingly break these new laws:- people who have no intention on doing any harm to anyone. Firearms are not something to be feared. The people who would use them to harm others are what should be feared and dealt with. If someone has shown themselves to be a violent offender, separate them from society by locking them in jail. If for some bizarre reason, you really believe it is better for everyone to have repeatedly convicted criminals walking free in public it only makes sense for those of us who are not criminals to maintain our inherent right to defend ourselves with whatever tools necessary from the criminals that you refuse to lock up. It is well proven that criminals will obtain firearms and other weapons regardless of any background check you inflict on honest citizens. By backing gun control legislation and restrictions on body armor (which can ONLY be used defensively, by the way) you are signally that you want more of the honest public to become victims of the criminals you refuse to jail. It saddens me to see such un-American behavior by people who purport to be representatives of the citizens of New Jersey. This the complete opposite of why I became a US citizen. Thank you for your consideration, 5 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawnmower2021 423 Posted June 22, 2022 Oh, in my last batch of emails I included an argument against A2215 without realizing it was already dropped. Ah well, will serve as education! It's not enough that they pull detectives out of work to run the same background check on people that they'll have a few days later when they actually buy a gun. No, we have to do it over and over again for everyone until the end of time! No matter how you feel about guns, none of this crap does any good for anyone!

Phil Murphy over the next few weeks, thanks to a $2 million ad blitz from a “dark money” group aiming to tout his agenda and raise his profile. ... This also comes as Murphy is rumored to be a potential candidate for the 2024 Democratic nomination for president if President Joe Biden does not run for re-election. Murphy has repeatedly downplayed a White House bid, though he has not ruled out running if Biden does not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you posses a time machine that you use to go into the future to hear verdicts before their issued? How are you so certain that SCOTUS won't make a broad ruling that effects the remaining 6 or 7 states that are still "may issue". Why can't you understand that NJ, CA etc cannot simply ignore SCOTUS rulings. Could NJ enact training requirements and fees to compensate? Sure! It will slow us down but, it won't stop us. Those who are determined like myself will go through any training and spare no expense for this. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote The surge in permits comes after a separate ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that struck down a key provision of the city’s law in 2017 that had required residents to show a “good reason” to carry a firearm outside the home. Quote Before the decision, there were only 123 active licenses, and D.C. police denied 77 percent of applicants for failing to provide the required “good reason.” D.C. police have since signed off on 4,808 permits, according to data the department provided March 5 to council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6), who chairs the judiciary and public safety committee. Permits expire after two years, and there are 4,147 active license-holders, according to the department’s records division. The numbers were released this month, before gun shops around the country began widely reporting increases in sales to consumers fearing possible coronavirus-related upheaval.
