Meeting Tonight in Piscataway, as Town tries to Stomp on FFLs

[Mrs. Peel 7,164]

Here's an ANJRPC alert that just came out - yikes, it seems like that org is going to have their hands full! It seems the freedom-stomping, gun-grabbing actions of the state legislature have only emboldened folks in the local municipalities. I wish I could make this tonight but I can't... perhaps some of you are available to attend?

ANJRPC WARNS PISCATAWAY ON ILLEGAL ORDINANCE RESTRICTING FIREARMS SALES!

 

June 14, 2018. ANJRPC has warned the town of Piscataway, New Jersey in a lawyer letter that a proposed ordinance effectively prohibiting firearms sales within the town is unlawful and could subject the town to liability.    The ordinance, scheduled for a hearing tonight, would prohibit state and federally licensed firearms dealers from conducting business within 1,000 feet of a sweeping list of properties located within the town, effectively banning legal firearms sales in Piscataway.   “This proposed ordinance would violate the Second Amendment as well as state law pre-empting towns from regulating firearms sales,” said ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach. “The premise behind the ordinance is absurd – criminals don’t buy guns from licensed dealers, and locating sales 1,000 feet from property in Piscataway will neither stop nor deter someone intent on doing evil. The local grandstanding politicians pushing this measure don’t seem to understand the difference between law-abiding gun owners and criminals.”   Gun owners interested in attending tonight’s hearing, which starts at 7:30 p.m., can find location information by clicking here.      <click here for the online version of this alert>

I wonder how many go-go bars, massage parlors, crack houses, MS-13 gang members and liquor stores Piscataway has....?  <rhetorical>

If memory serves me correctly I believe these idiots tried this once before. Does anyone else remember that?

The meeting was a dog and pony show. If anyone thinks that vote wasn’t decided weeks ago i have a lovely bridge for sale.
