Everyone knows what they need to do....

 

 

Did 1329 change recently? I could have sworn they had it down at 5 rounds at one time - now it says 10.

I thought there were 23 bills being voted on Thursday. Which bill(s) died?

[wooly bugger 1]

There are two separate bills on magazine capacity. 10 and 5. 10 was voted this week. 5 has yet to be introduced into assembly. Now there's a third. Cryan's 1 feature bill reduces to 7.

 

Can't the guy at least come up with something original, instead of just slavishly copying Cuomo? I can only hope that his fate will be the same as Cuomo's.

They merged a few since they essentially said the same thing.

They have no qualms about stealing away your 2nd amendment rights. Stealing them away is even easier for them if they've never experienced using or owning a firearm. At that point, they figure that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to them, so it's not important that it's being taken away. They won't understand that notion until other rights are denied that do apply to them. Same with the liberal media and the sheepies that they feed their crap to.

[BarkNBite 15]

Would someone please prepose a Bill that would make it mandatory that all candidates running for elected office here in Nj must first pass a psychiatric exam by a licensed physician before having their name posted on any ballot.....

[incinerator950 0]

Or make all elected officials reduce their pay to $100 like NH.

[BarkNBite 15]

They're not worth the C note.......IMO.

Dear Senator Connors,

I am writing to you with urgency because of the New Jersey Democratic-Party’s attempt to further deplete our right to bear arms and dishonor the second amendment in New Jersey.

As you know, we already have some of the most extensive gun-control laws in the country, which makes me very outraged that the State Assembly passed a host of frivolous gun control bills this week. I especially find the 10 round magazine limit (1329), and the attempt to ban internet purchases of ammunition (3645) most disturbing.

As you know, we already have a 15 round magazine limit in N.J. Reducing it another 5 rounds simply further diminishes a law-abiding citizens ability to protect themselves, and their family in the home. Evil doers and criminals may have many, many, rounds and several partners during a home invasion. 1329 accomplishes nothing besides giving criminals a further edge over law abiding citizens.

3645 calls for only face-to-face transactions for ammunition purchases. Again, this will not make the streets safer, and will make it harder for a law abiding citizen to purchase ammunition due to the dramatically reduced places to purchase and the increase cost of buying from a gun shops vs. the internet where completion between vendors is at its best. As a competitivesports enthusiast, during peak season, I may go through 1,000 rounds per month. It is unjust, and un-American to force law abiding citizens to by ammunition only from local shops face-to-face.

Neither of these bills will reduce crime and may actually increase it. The misguided efforts of the Democratic Party must be redirected at mental health management, and incarceration 1^st time offenders of violent crime.

As a United States Navy Veteran, a responsible sports-shooting enthusiast, a well-educated engineer with two masters degrees working for a large N.J. company, I urge you from my heart to vote against these bills and the many other frivolous gun-control bills which the assembly passed this week. You are doing this for N.J., for our great nation, and for the many, many generations of Americans to come.

God Bless,

[BarkNBite 15]

IMO.....I find it appauling that we vote these bastages into office and then have to plead with them to do the right thing or threaten them by votes.........just shameful.

 

Oh, nice letter by the way.

Yes we have to beg them not to diminish our constitutional rights - the world is upside-down and getting worse socially, politically, ethically.

[BCeagle 12]

Why do I have to renew my FID every 5 years? It was a pain in the ass the first time.

 

 

 

DeCroce voted for this, I want here gone.

[O-gre 7]

Why are NO pro 2a bills being introduced?

[Smokin .50 1,907]

Why are NO pro 2a bills being introduced?

 

Because we don't have Conservative Republicans in the State Assembly or Senate (except for a few like Michael Patrick Carrol), we have RINOs (Republican In Name Only). THAT'S WHY!

 

What our side needs is a real 2A advocate that will put it all on the line, and propose a crap-load of 2A support Bills, some of which could be molded after other States.

 

Don't hold yer breath!

Allison McHose. She needs to rile things up by proposing 2A bills. Problem is, they'll never make it to committee because of the DB Oliver.

if the mag capacity passes, what is going to happen with handguns that have more than 10 rounds? are they going to be gradfathered, or are we going to be told to get rid of them??? anyone know?

more than likely nothing will be grandfathered and you will have a 90 window to sell anything non compliant out of state,to an ffl or to turn it in

[Bob2222 317]

Nothing can become law in this state unless Christie wants it to become law in this state.

 

The Republicans in the NJ Assembly voted the way they did because Christie wanted them to vote the way they did. The most concerning bills received more than a veto-proof 27 "Nay" votes. (I'm not sure what happened on A3772, unless someone stepped out to use the bathroom, or didn't read Christie's memo.)

 

Cryan doesn't like Christie (and vice versa). It is personal. There is no chance of Christie signing 5 rounds, just because of the sponsor.

[Texas Shooter 35]

Where can we find how each one voted? Would love to see if my RINO's supported or stabbed us.

Wouldn't we have the opportunity to work with a 'smith to pin/limit existing mags? I know that may make them impossible to clean, thus disposable, but it would be better than turning in a firearm...

Bottom line is you have a time limit to become compliant by any means. Pinning is another way

So Joe, are you ready to start receiving a hundred thousand rounds of internet ammo and selling if face to face to all your co-shooters with no markup? Seems that LEO and other government officials are exempt from these assinine laws, why, no reason given nor ever will be. Just keep dividing the sides even more............... Just what is the NRA going to do to help us here? We already know, NOTHING! We are in this fight by ourselves, except for our local groups that I did join and I do support!

No lawsuits can be filed until the laws are passed and someone can show they were "harmed" by the legislation. At least that last part applies to SCOTUS. Unfortunately, these asshats can pass unconstitutional laws all day long, but until someone is harmed by hit, SCOTUS won't take it up, don't know about lower courts.
