I just sent this to the Senators on the committee.
Senators,
The State of New Jersey has gone to extraordinary efforts to prevent it's law abiding citizens from being able to protect themselves and further enjoy their 2nd Amendment rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. When will the madness end?
I certainly don't advocate ANY animal abuse, but S-746, as written, could lead to my gun rights being taken away for something as simple as my dog's water
bowl being empty on a hot summer's day because my child or even my dog inadvertently knocked it over and a nosy neighbor called the police before I took notice
and filled the bowl!
The above situation, as ridiculous as it is, has nothing to do with my ability to safely own a firearm, nor should it...but it could!
Please stop using every excuse you can think of to take guns from the hands of the law abiding, yet doing nothing to take them from criminals! A criminal who robs a liquor store with a gun will, in a plea deal, have the gun charge dropped and be free in 18 months. An innocent person like Shaneen Allen who, with a carry permit
in PA crossed into our state and were it not for Governor Christie, would have spent 5 years behind bars for simply not realizing she was leaving A free state and entering one that does not fully recognize our Bill of Rights as most states rightfully do! I implore you to end the madness now!
Respectfully submitted,
