So that means that the original ruling declaring DC's gun laws unconstitutional stands? And still we have no hope of getting CCW in NJ. (See the thread on the SAPPA lawsuit.)
-
Well said bzer! I heartily concur.

That is one of the best examples I have seen of the triumph of hope over experience. I would love to have the chance to celebrate this, but I can't recall a court ever ruling favorably on a 2A issue in NJ, so it's hard to be optimistic. Dwight, I certainly appreciate all that you and Nick have done on this. Can you say if the assemblyman with whom you're meeting is friend or foe? (I would guess the former.)

So just to get back on track for a moment, instead of voting on an Obama nomination to SCOTUS, can't the Senate just ignore his nomination in the same way that NJ's Dem controlled Senate has refused to vote on most of Christie's judicial appointments? And while this has possibly already been mentioned in this lengthy thread, if the Republicans succeed in postponing the nomination of another justice until after the election, they run the very real risk of facing another Democratic president plus a Democrat-controlled Senate, which could result in an even more liberal appointment. I don't know how anyone can say that 2A rights are not in serious jeopardy at this point.

IMHO, it was a great episode. I went into it thinking, ho-hum, I've about had it with the whole TWD thing, but I was captivated. Pretty sure I'm going to have to go back and watch parts of it again, as it was so dark in spots, that I think I missed a lot.

Holy crap, that's horrible news!

This is a forum for discussion. If we all agreed on everything, it would be pretty boring. Right, Newtonian?

Looks like fun, but one part of me feels there's something wrong with shooting at teddy bears.
-
Good advice about not volunteering info. But I really want to see further documentation before I believe this.
-
I thought the same thing.

Welcome! We frequently pass through your town on the way down to our place in Seaside Park, sometimes stopping off for dinner at the many nice restaurants (if we don't take the Parkway to exit 82).
-
Agreed, but unfortunately it's all just theoretical wishful thinking at this point.
-
That's one of those pictures I wish I had never seen.

I would like to know this as well, as I would love to get one. FWIW, I asked Nappen about it at one of his GFH classes on NJ firearms laws last year, and he said that it's illegal, so I've been reluctant to pursue it.
-
Sorry, I think I started the whole thing. But let's move on. And BTW, I like Arthur's avatar.
-
Agreed.

Perhaps before she pushes BS legislation like that, she should read about why banning "assault rifles" won't reduce gun violence: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-winkler-folly-of-assault-weapon-ban-20151211-story.html Then again, I'm sure she doesn't really care to burden herself with the facts.
-
Stories like that last one allow anti-gun people to portray gun owners as irresponsible. The way I read it, there's no way a life should have been taken in that situation. She did so many things wrong. When she saw the Jeep, she should have stayed out of her home and awaited the arrival of the police. And to shoot someone who is holding her IPad, unless he had a gun in his other hand, is just despicable.
-
I wonder what she believes she would accomplish with that? I guess in her mind she believes she is promoting public safety, but in reality I'm sure she doesn't have a clue what she is talking about.
-
Make no mistake, our Democratic legislators don't just want to adopt the NY SAFE act, they want to go even further to establish "model legislation" for the rest of the nation. We should be OK for a couple of more years, but when Christie is gone, we're F'd.

Greetings from north Jersey! Stick around, you can learn a lot around here. And possibly get into some interesting discussions.
-
This comes up every year or so. The Dems down in Cape May County are pretty conservative, not what we associate with their north Jersey counterparts. Senator Jeff Van Drew from that same district has proposed similar bills once or twice. A few years ago, he proposed "shall issue" CCW with proper checks and a $500 fee, believing that if the other legislators saw an economic benefit to the state, they might be more inclined to accept it. 2A purists howled that we should never have to pay that kind of money for something that is our Constitutional right. I would disagree with them. If we could somehow get something like that into the law, and our state government agreed to it in principle, then it's just a matter of haggling about the price, like in the old joke.

Interesting, thought-provoking article. Thanks for posting it.
