EX Carnival man 223 Posted March 23, 2019 They do take and take. Sooner or later typical slob politicians that they are they go too far. Like Washington DC. and Chicago I believe its only a matter of time until SCOTUS steps in and sets NJ straight. Look how many states have gone Constitutional Carry.

I saw that today, apparently Reuters has been listening (incorrectly) to that Swalwell dude.... ...."Two months ago, Reuters breathlessly reported, “New Zealand police expect tens of thousands of firearms to be surrendered by a guns buy-back scheme.” Law enforcement authorities averred that “it could be more.” Pregnant with the expectation that gun owners would trade their firearms for cash, the political class is nonplussed by the results. In reality, New Zealand is quite heavily armed per capita, with an estimated 1.2-1.5 million guns in a country of approximately 4.7 million people. Only 530 guns have thus far been turned in to the authorities." 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morton 0 Posted July 10, 2019 I'm not an anti gun man, have great pleasures shooting on the range. But as an european (Norwegian) it pussles me how the US pro gun communities always struggle to find all kinds of unlogical and strange arguments for liberal or no gun controls in the name of freedom. Like Trump's argument that Britains strict gun laws results in an epidemic knife crime rate. Well.. how many would the Las Vegas shooter hit with knives from the hotel window? The whole thing is extremely simple. Texas alone had more than 3500 deaths by guns in 2017, New Jersey! 478 and Great Britain 98. Contrary to many US states, some are learning something from their mistakes and takes action. 1 1 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrary to many US states, some are learning something from their mistakes and takes action. You start out your post with “I’m not anti-gun, but...” then give a lot of anti-gun talking points. That’s probably going to get you some flack. Now.. if you look at purely “gun deaths”, the majority are suicides. Upwards of around 60%. Another 30% or so is gang-related homicide and centered on a few urban cities in the country. So “gun deaths” is a combination of multiple problems, mainly mental health and urban blight. But “gun death” isn’t really the useful number anyway. Does it matter if someone was shot, stabbed, beaten, or poisoned? Homicide/murder is the problem, though it’s the lowest it’s been in decades. If you look at those numbers by state/country then the US is pretty average against comparable countries. Id post references but I’m on Mobil at the moment. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njpilot 671 Posted July 10, 2019 I've said it before and I'll say it again, there are many mentally ill people, i.e. Leftist progressives, who's say they liked to shoot guns, it's cool or they feel tough, but that's a big difference than someone who believes in and defends the 2nd Amendment. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like European busybodies or conniving US Democrat Socialist statists pretending to be European citizens giving up their freedoms and forcing their illogic and tyrranical policies on others. Please provide data that criminals have NOT used guns in crimes in Great Britain since those unjust laws were passed? Have other weapons been used? Didn't they pass laws against carrying pocket knives too, those enlighten Brits. and yet there are knife crimes. How did it work out at the children's camp in one of your gun-free zones? Just because you collectivists are too irresponsible and too emotional to own a firearm doesn't mean that others aren't. When humans are dumbed down, indoctrinated, and taught not to be responsible for their actions they excel in stupidity. Study history and then shoot your mouth off Moron. How many people were killed during this last century from Europeans that decided to start a couple of World Wars, establish concentration camps, ship people to Siberian graves, and influence other bastions of freedom such as Red China and North Korea, etc.... Mass murder by governments would seem to be a bigger threat to human life than all of the mass shootings. AND, how many people are saved every day by firearms, or the possibility that they could be used. Why not provide all coverage of gun interactions, instead of just a one-sided version? It is too bad you are "pussled". 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0Jeep4 87 Posted July 10, 2019 from my personal experience anytime someone attempts to make a reassuring statement before saying something is attmepting to justify their own cognitive dissonance. Example “I'm not an anti gun man, “ Than proceeds to make anti gun statements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go the eff back to Norway - there it is said................. we do not need the likes of you in our ranks..... “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams And that there in an of itself is the issue - you are a pussified European........ Above all else the freedom to keep and bear arms, to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to free speech the right to seek life liberty and the pursuit of happiness without the interference of government...are PARAMOUNT above all else. "Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
