dobie 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Once Christie leaves office and we get the inevitable Democrat successor what anti-firearms bills will be on the wish list of the Dems. I'm kind of assuming the 15 round mag bill will be first on the agenda. What else can we expect will be offered and voted into law? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1LtCAP 4,262 Posted January 15, 2015 INSTEAD of that, what can we do to ensure that there is a freedom friendly candidate on the ballot? what needs to be done, who can we try to get on there? now's the time to start. actually it's a bit late.....but if we start now, maybe we'll have success in getting someone better than cc, rather than one of the nazis that's hoping to take his place.......

Deezul 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Problem is...and I have the same issue...I can't in good faith vote for a Republican. The other issues they oppose me on are more important to me than gun rights...by catering to the far right they end up turning off voters that would otherwise favor their policies. I can't vote democrat either because of their willingness to pass feel good legislation for a short term bump in the polls and long term destruction of gun rights.

Well you have to vote one way or the other. Since you are never going to find someone who exactly echoes your views, pick the one who is closest. And if you value your 2A rights, you probably should be voting Republican. To the OP, just take a look at last year's legislative agenda, and that will be the start of their wish list. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a feeding frenzy of new gun laws, which is why we need to take a look at vulnerable anti-gun people and target them in the next election. WTF, lol to that video!

kirk2022 43 Posted January 15, 2015 I may get clobbered for this . But We got rid of one useless Dem (Albano) down here in the last election. I think now Jeff Van Drew needs to wake up now. He talks A good talk, But is not cutting it. He is more concerned with throwing the dirt at Fiocchi, Republican who beat Albano. Then anything else now. And I used to think better of Van Drew, but not anymore Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted January 15, 2015 Want to see what will happen, look at the bills proposed after Newtown. Especially from the State Senator from Montclair, Nia Gill. Virtual ban on assualt weapons, this includes the AR15 platform, mag limits, if you think they'll stop at 10 you are dreaming. I would venture to say as bad as or worse than the provisions in the NY SAFE Act. Our representatives in Trenton love to tell you how NJ is the best at keeping you safe. If you can't vote for someone who stands for you 2A rights, because other platforms are more important to you, then you better change sides. I for one will always vote for those who stand for our constitutional amendments first, without those you are no longer a citizen, just a subject.

They are going to outlaw abortion and gay marriage. Right before Hell freezes over and they ban females and black people from schools. BTW, I've been informed by the staff that suggesting gun rights will be imperiled when Christie is gone is not appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustang69 505 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm going to look a bit more on the positive (ok, neutral) side of things here. I believe much of what we saw with the proposals was meant to embarrass Christie and distinguish (D) from ® after the pension changes. Once Christie is gone it's likely to be a (D) in office and the legislature won't be looking for any "gotcha" legislation unless Bloomberg comes calling with buckets of campaign cash. Also, the NJSC seems to be avoiding any 2nd amendment cases since Heller/MacDonald. The USSC will need to eventually address the split in circuit court rulings, but, since Heller, it seems unlikely to restrict 2a further than NJ already is. Any further restrictions put in place by the NJ legislature risks something finally being taken up by the NJSC that will expose just how close to the edge NJ laws already are. If the legislature pushes much/any further they stand to lose the entire scheme in place today. Granted, it might take years to work it's way through the courts, but it could move pretty quickly if there is enough noise. I know, none of that helps with the current situation. Christie could have completely changed things up by declaring self defense as suitable justifiable need, but he hasn't. He's not a friend of the 2nd but he hasn't been an active enemy either. I don't see Sweeney being the next Governor - too much baggage with the pension changes and the need for whoever the next Gov is to do something about pensions. I think it's more likely we'll get someone like Norcross or Booker - not that I'm happy about either. A year (or two) is an eternity in politics but I don't see anyone even on the horizon on the ® side that I think can win state-wide election. Regardless, much like the presidency, anyone who wants the job is unfit to hold it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted January 15, 2015 Booker is in Washington to stay. He will play ball to stay there to become the millionaire all federal senators become. Corzine did not and was sent packing and had to settle for NJ Governor. Fulop and Sweeney lead the pack. It will be interesting to see who North Jersey Democrats back. If its Fulop, Sweeney's toast. NJ will "shoot the moon" on new gun control, and Bloomturd will be in the wings, guaranteed. Any state that shows any signs of wanting new gun control will get Bloomturd support. After all he told us God is on his side. NJ has the lowest per capita gun ownership ratings. Easy to pass new feel good legislation here. Face it NJ is a nanny state, period.
