I was told that you can shop on Sunday and buy a gun. The store will fax in your NICS and have the results back on Monday. You can then go back to the store on Monday and providing you're approved, take possession.

While we will never be able to stop all violence, there is no reason we should make it so easy for dangerous and irresponsible people to get weapons that help them kill a lot of people so quickly. Sensible gun laws can help save lives. Why worry so much about the 2A but be complacent about the 4A when the battle cry is that infringement on our rights is allowable because it can help save lives?

Just another example of how our 4th amendment rights are eroded.

And yet someone buying 10 rifles a day a at Texan gun store near the Mexican border shouldn't be identified? Who has the tin foil hat?

I didn't say it would help and I don't agree with it but if the state already has all this information, why not make it available to the cops on the street?

I like the dark roots. Seemed like a nice gun store.

Just saw on the news last night that the ban is delayed. You guys will be 90 years old and have a stash of bulbs that your grand kids will laugh about. Crazy old grandpa and his stash of light bulbs and ammo.

It matters not a traveler's mode of transportation. Whether on foot, horse or carriage, one should not be subject to unreasonable search and detention without probable cause.

Depends if you can hold it and it doesn't get hot. Right?

They seem to imply that the extra recoil is a feature of the ammo to more closely mimic "duty" ammo.

I must have not been clear in my posts. I'm not in favor of a gun registry. My point is that it already exists, doesn't it, every time we buy a gun in NJ from an FFL? Honestly, I thought that if someone was pulled over by the police that FID status would pop up when the plates or drivers license was run.

I could help you out.

What is your point? Where does all the gun registration data go and who has access to it?

Seriously? You mean there's no central database of registered guns readily available to police in the field? There should be.

Many of the brightest legal minds in the country disagree with you. However, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 that it is constitutional. But, if you don't see how rights could be violated, why is there a prosecutor there? Although, I don't see how having the wolf watch the hen house makes sense. There are many here that think that NJ's gun laws infringe on the 2nd amendment. But, if it keeps one illegal gun off the street or keeps one convicted felon from obtaining a gun, it is worth it. Right?

Cuba exchanged all incandescent light bulbs for CFLs, and banned the sale and import of them in 2005. You know, just in case you were thinking of heading to Cuba for light bulbs.

I just keep my pen in front pocket. Sure, it might take me a few seconds longer to wield it but I prefer the concealment so that other people don't know what I'm packing until the pen is out and clicked into business mode.

Congrats. It is a noble profession.

Just replace "drunk driver" with "illegal gun" or "illegal immigrant" and you can see the slippery slope.

The general public doesn't care about a gun SOP but they do care about how much public employees get paid.

This is the same argument the anti-gun people use. People get all bent out of shape when an open carrying person is stopped by the police and "investigated." It is a slippery slope.

I think it is a violation of the 4th amendment. Absent probable cause, no one should be detained by the police and asked for their papers.

This guy seems unwilling to be schooled. He's stubborn.

Ironically, if you did purchase legally in NJ, the gun is registered with NJ and the police should be able to easily confirm this from the gun's S/N via their car's computer/communication.

If this ever happens to you, don't tell the police that you carry a gun (without a valid CCW) because there have been threats made against you.
