New Jersey Governor Seeks to Price Residents Out of Their 2A Rights

The Garden State is never void of things to report on. As a matter of fact, covering the 2A news there is like drinking from a firehose. When you have a freedom-hating governor like Phil Murphy as the chief executive, bigots like Assemblyman John McKeon in office, and incredibly obtuse lawmakers like Joe Danielsen allegedly writing laws, they make covering how awful they are all too easy. Recently Governor Phil Murphy, D-N.J., released his budget proposal for the state and he aims to make the Second Amendment inaccessible to all but the rich.

 

 

The budget suggests a number of changes to the price tags associated with the firearm related paperwork that’s necessary to exercise a civil right. The governor's proposal did not breakdown the numbers, but rather stated in the “other revenues” section:

To avert the need for further spending reductions, the budget assumes the adoption of modest increases to fees charged by the Bureau of Securities, firearm permit and license fees, and raises the HMO assessment from 5 percent to 6 percent.

Some colleagues over at NJ.com did some serious groundwork and repeatedly reached out to the governor's office asking them to elaborate on what “modest increases to [...] firearm permit and license fees” meant. I reached out to S.P. Sullivan, the senior reporter who broke the story, and he said that a spokesperson eventually sent him the following information about the proposed rate increase:

• Firearms Purchaser Identification Card Application - $100 (Current Fee - $50) 

• Permit to Purchase Application - $50 (Current Fee - $25) 

• Duplicate Firearms Purchaser ID Card - $50 (Current Fee - $0)

• Wholesale/Retail Dealer Employee License Application - $40 (Current Fee - $5)

• Retail Firearms Dealer Licenses Initial/Renewal Applications - $500 (Current Fee - $50)

• Retail Firearms Dealer License for Corporations for Partnerships Initial/Renewal Application - $500 (Current Fee - $50)

• Manufacturer/Wholesale Dealers of Firearms Initial/Renewal Application - $1,500 (Current Fee - $150)

• Manufacturers/Wholesalers for Corporation or Partnerships Initial/Renewal Application - $1,500 (Current Fee - $150)

• Permit to Carry Initial/Renewal Application - $400 (Current Fee - $200) 

• NICS Check for Firearms Purchase - $45 (Current Fee - $15, $16 if it includes a handgun)

Our carpet-bagging first couple (he from Massachusetts and she from Virginia) deserve an extra large dose of tar and feathers.

From the article...

"...which means a person who wants to buy a handgun and eventually ammunition will be paying $195.00 in fees just on permitting."

This is the thing, most people just excuse Trenton by saying their idiots, they have their heads up their asses, etc, and laugh it off. But in fact, they aren't dumb, they know exactly what they are doing, and it's all intentional.
