Rest assured, NRA will be there every step of the way fighting against these relentless attacks on New Jersey gun owners.  Some of these restrictions are so over-the-top that, even if signed, their constitutionality and ability to withstand judicial scrutiny is questionable at best. 

What we do know, is that overwhelming participation by NRA members does make a difference.  Look no further than last January's gun range bill.  After thousands of messages from gun owners, lawmakers opted to shelve the issue for the year.  It is going to take that sort of Herculean effort to withstand this barrage.  New Jersey gun owners are used to fighting, and this year is going to require a renewed sense of urgency.

Knowing and doing are two sides of a coin. Time will tell.

I heard a lot about the NRA coming in and helping before the Gov election and the NRA rep went around to several gun clubs to speak but I haven’t heard much since then. Maybe they are deciding the next steps or coordinating with ANJRPC. We’ll find out soon if they walk the walk. We already knew they could talk...

what i gleaned from the majority of that article.....was that they are pointing at us. again. and saying how bad that we are and thanks to them the rest of the country is not.

 

 i did however also like seeing them call us as residents to action. it gives me hope that that said they will be here for us. hopefully they've already got lawyers and lawsuits lined up. lawyers that win in these things like they seem to do lately in commifornia.

Give them time - no one is going to start grandstanding methods and means just yet.  Have faith - till you are and if proven wrong -

I think they do pick and choose battles - not saying right or wrong - but you can get to a point where a position might just have to be sacrificed cause there is no way at all to win.

 

NJ seems to be that position IMO - *IF* we win something and that is a huge *if* - it would be a miracle.

 

However us winning anything  is a bet I would not take.........

I see they have the donate button at the top and bottom of that page. When I see them actually make an effort I'll throw some coins in the pot.

view the web version of this email     New Jersey: 2018 Brings Bigger Challenges for New Jersey Gun Owners     A new Governor took the reins from Gov. Chris Christie this week, and a new Legislature has been sworn into office.  However, much will remain the same in the Garden State, including the annual onslaught of anti-guns bills being put into the hopper in Trenton.  The real danger this year is that anti-gun lawmakers have expanded their majorities in both chambers to the largest margins in decades, coupled with having potentially one of the most anti-gun Governors in the history of the state. In the coming months, we anticipate large public hearings on a number of critical issues.  It's essential that gun owners remain vigilant and participate by attending hearings and communicating with their lawmakers at the appropriate times. Despite having some of the most onerous gun laws in the country, New Jersey politicians are still aggressively pushing their political agenda.  At the end of this week, 72 bills dealing with "weapons" have been introduced.  By way of disclaimer, some of those bills included pro-gun bills and issues like stun guns, but only a tiny minority.  The vast majority of these bills were bad measures intended to punish law-abiding gun owners.  It's important to remember that not all of these bills will move.  Some of them have a single sponsor and will sit in the hopper like they did for the last two years.  However, based on the election rhetoric of new Gov. Phil Murphy and anti-gun Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, they plan to aggressively push a number of these issues. Rest assured, NRA will be there every step of the way fighting against these relentless attacks on New Jersey gun owners.  Some of these restrictions are so over-the-top that, even if signed, their constitutionality and ability to withstand judicial scrutiny is questionable at best.  What we do know, is that overwhelming participation by NRA members does make a difference.  Look no further than last January's gun range bill.  After thousands of messages from gun owners, lawmakers opted to shelve the issue for the year.  It is going to take that sort of Herculean effort to withstand this barrage.  New Jersey gun owners are used to fighting, and this year is going to require a renewed sense of urgency.
