Even as crime in the city goes down, the West Side of Asbury Park struggles with the heartbreak of gun violence. Asbury Park Press

 

In passing a resolution declaring Monmouth County a "Second Amendment Lawful Gun Owner County.” what the freeholders object to are socialists trying undermine our freedoms and our way of life in America.

Every “common-sense” gun law passed only affects legal gun owners. These laws do nothing to stop violence and criminals from committing crimes with guns. These socialists are blaming the law-abiding gun owners just to get votes and get elected.

Maybe the freeholders know their history and have seen what socialism is capable of doing. Those who don’t know history are bound to repeat it.

Gun rights: Monmouth, Ocean freeholders back Second Amendment resolutions

Hitler’s political party forced Jews to register their firearms. They then confiscated them, leaving them defenseless  Maybe that’s what the freeholders object to.
