Countries that confiscated guns from the populace and the resulting murders that followed: Turkey 1915-1917 1.5 million dead; Soviet Union 1929-1953 20 million dead; Nazi Germany 1933-1945 13 million dead; China 1949-1976 20 million dead; Guatemala 1960-1981 100,000 dead; Uganda 1971-1979 300,000 dead; Cambodia 1975-1979 one million dead. Australia, crime rate way up since gun ban.USA, New Orleans, door to door gun confiscation after the hurricane. Rifles, pistols, and shotguns were confiscated from Japanese-Americans in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor. Never say "That's not gonna happen"!!! 56 million people who felt that way died since 1915 because they lost the ability to defend themselves against tyranny!!! Australia and Great Britain are two recent examples of guns being banned and confiscated and the violent crime rates have increased steadily in both countries! Closer to home, look at New York City and the hoops you must go through just to own a handgun. I pray it does not happen here! With the Socialist path we are on I feel it may happen! By order of the Mayor, the police and National Guard went door to door and confiscated over 1,000 guns in New Orleans after Katrina! I for one would not want to be a member of a gun confiscation unit (Which they have in California) and bang on peoples doors announcing "we are here to confiscate your guns"! I think only the suicidal would volunteer for that duty!!! But Never say Never!!!

Up to 4,325 now. It's not so much about this petition convincing Christie to give us our lawful right. It's all about keeping the pressure on!!!

Now that the Trojan Horse has landed in Louisiana, soon to be dispersed (or should I use the term metastasized) all over our country. Looking at the the fact they are mostly men and few females and children. What does this tell you??? Some are legitimate refugees who deserve help! Others are certainly radical muslims sent here by isis to further their cause! Can the authorities tell the difference??? Do you trust their judgement??? We, like Germany are opening our arms to those who's sole purpose in life is to destroy us! The goal of radical muslims is to mate with native women so as to increase their population in the host countries! So why are the refugees sent here mostly male and young??? We are being invaded and our own government is too blind to see it! Europe, as we knew it will soon be gone! A large percentage of the so called refugees are in fact radical muslims and even members of isis!!! They have a long term agenda to mate with and rape the young girls and women native to the invaded countries so as to increase the muslim population and eventually take over Europe! Where Hitler failed to destroy Germany, despite his evil Nazi regime! Angela Merkel with her Socialist, leftist policies has succeeded! Germany won't come back this time!!! Every red blooded American has a responsibility to NEVER allow this to happen here. Do not allow their seeds of evil to be planted on our soil! I realize they are among us now, but not in such great numbers yet. We see the horrible things they do to innocents in the name of their god! They want sharia law, an eye for an eye!!!! Yet we in our politically correct society will take a muslim who has raped children and beheaded women and put him jail, feed him 3 meals a day that fall within the muslim diet, allow him his prayer rug, point out the direction of mecca and say "This prisoner has rights under our justice system"!!!! This has to stop and we MUST MATCH their evil! Only then will they fear us!!! Right now they laugh in our faces as they kill Christians for fun! This is not a game anymore and we need to play by their rules! A Barbarian can only be defeated by a stronger Barbarian! There are Radicals in our world and there are Realists! Although my words may seem Radical, I assure you I am a Realist! I look at the facts and come to a logical conclusion! There is NO politically correct way to defeat this enemy!!! The entire peace loving World must face this fact and take action accordingly!!! Certain words in the above statement were not capitalized purposely! Paris was a lesson for the world to learn! France has welcomed muslims for years now and has a large population and is paying the ultimate price for their naive kindness!!! the jihadists have gone too far this time! The entire World should have learned what I learned from those attacks and I will never be the same again. I will never let my guard down! May God bless and keep the souls of those who died in France and give comfort to their families and friends!!!!

No more than the countless letters we all sent to the Governor and never even got the courtesy of even a canned response! Christie supports CCW in NJ as much as Sweeney does! He has proven that time after time!!!

I have a model 19 that I bought new 36 years ago. I never saw a better, deeper blue! It's still 100% today but even if it had a little wear, I would never touch it!!!

Signed! up to 737 now. Shared also to get more!

158 innocents lost their lives to ISIS today! May God bless their souls! We created the void in Iraq which allowed ISIS to come to power! We now more than ever need to to take the lead to destroy them forever!

Sweeney is not the issue Angelo! WE THE PEOPLE! Are the issue here! It's all about keeping the U.S. Constitution a living document! Not allowing it to fade away into obscurity! It's up to "WE THE PEOPLE"! Plain and simple!!!! If bad things happen, It's because WE let it happen! Either we defend our oaths or we fade away into obscurity. The choice is ours alone!

On 9-11, a Tuesday, I was off that day and remember seeing the footage of the first hit on the WTC! My first thought was OMG! What a terrible accident!!!! After seeing the second tower hit, (You will laugh) I began getting my guns and ammo together not knowing what would or could happen next! I remember my wife telling me I was crazy! They are not coming to our house! I did not care, and I kept all those guns at ready for many weeks after!!! NEVER underestimate your enemy!!!!! Hopefully, we too will not be disarmed when the need comes for us to defend ourselves and our country!!!!!!!! I think the world knows how many guns are in civilian hands in the U.S. I also think that fact scares some potential invaders! You might come in and take over the Government but you will never take over the people! No one wants such a prolonged war with the casualties never ending!!! Unless things change, we are the last country anyone would want to invade!! We should take great pride in that fact!

Ok, so in the PRNJ my situational awareness tells me I am about to get Fd! So I either run faster than my assailant or I get Fd anyway, right??? Perhaps I should carry a jar of Vaseline at my age!!!

Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#France France[edit] Main article: Gun politics in France In France, to buy a firearm, a hunting licence or a shooting sport license is necessary. All semi-automatic rifles with a capacity greater than 3 rounds, all handguns and all rifles chambered in 'military' calibres, including bolt action, require permits. These are known as B1, B2 and B4 type permits. Firearms are divided into eight categories that determine the regulations that apply to their possession and use. France also sets limits on the number of cartridges that can be kept at home (1000 rounds per gun). The total number of firearms owned by an individual is also subject to limits (not possible to have more than 12 authorizations/permits on B1, B2 and B4 type firearms).[95] As of September, 2013, France has a capacity limit of 20 rounds for handguns;[96] one needs a permit for category one[clarification needed] semi-automatics that have a capacity greater than 3 rounds. Fully automatic firearms are illegal for civilian ownership. I may have misread it Mipa, It appears 20 rounds for handguns but a category one permit is needed for semi auto handguns with a capacity greater than 3 rounds! Since I have never seen a handgun that can hold more than 20 rounds without being semi-automatic, I do not understand that law! Either way, if we lived in France, we both might just be a little over the allowed ammo per gun limits!!!!!

Good point Zeke! Further proof that criminals do NOT follow gun laws and the only people hurt by such laws are the innocent!!! "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776 I guess Thomas Jefferson may have been right all along and the left just ignore that fact!!! The truth is the truth! Here and abroad! Where did out forefathers like Jefferson learn that truth? Not in the USA for sure! They learned their lessons from places like France and England and warned us to protect against invaders! They wrote The Constitution of the United States to protect us from what is now happening in England and Europe!!! The Constitution IS THE LAW OF OUR LAND! Shame on us if we sit back and allow it to become but a brief passage in our futures history books! I took an oath to defend the Constitution when I joined the military.! So did every public official and every single politician and LEO in this great country! We all have an obligation to defend that Constitution! If we do, we won't become France, Germany or England! If we choose to ignore our oath and our Constitution, we deserve the misfortunes that are sure to befall on us for that grave mistake!!!! ISIS is a powerful force of pure evil and they may well consume all or most of Europe in due time! I pray this is not he case and that ISIS is defeated in Europe! The future of ISIS there is mostly up to the governments of their separate nations. The people, mostly unarmed are at the mercy of their leaders! Our future is in OUR hands! This is where the lessons learned by or forefathers guaranteed our rights not to become victims by adding their names to our Great Constitution!!!

+1,000.000!!!

I read that their magazine limit for a semi auto pistol is 3 rounds. Every gun there requires a separate license along with a hunting or range membership license.

Repost!

My wife spoke with a close childhood friend in Italy just today. Her friend said she was frightened for her life and that of her family as the mass influx of refugees is changing her country for the worse! Italy suffers from corruption, severe unemployment as most jobs go to illegals already since they work for less! She said crime is a daily occurrence now in neighborhoods that were safe and peaceful until now! Gun ownership is also pretty restricted in Italy so no one in my wife's family owns a gun! Who will protect them from the influx of illegals that don't obey gun laws?

We must rely on our government and local authorities to protect us! Are they prepared for such an attack???

Well said Newtonian! But I must ask a question! Who will defend us when the terrorists hit home?

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." — Abraham Lincoln "The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776 “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 "To disarm the people...s the most effectual way to enslave them." - George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adooption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788 "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops." - Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787 Our forefathers either had the vision of Nostradamus or the ability to learn from their own history! The war is upon us now! MOΛΩN ΛΑBE

1776? Be ready! Without fear and without reproach ! Good luck!

Be ready! Without fear and without reproach ! Good luck! Who said this? ISIS or the French authorities???

They can't arm themselves! France is worse than NJ when it comes to armed civilians!

In enforcing this law, prosecutors and police should remember that an assault firearms offense requires proof that the defendant knows he or she possesses an assault firearm, e.g., that the defendant knows that the firearm is "substantially identical" to one of the named assault weapons. The statement above should be an effective defense in most cases! How can the State of New Jersey know what is in my head??? Then have to prove that I knew it at the time of arrest??? If any two people looked at 2 apples on a plate and were asked if they were "substantially identical", one might say "yes they are both red apples"! The other might say" No, the stem is thicker and a bit longer on the one on the right and one on the left has a brown spot"! To a poor person $100 is substantially more than $20! To me they are both pocket change. Substantial and substantially are in the eye of the beholder! How can anyone be convicted on such a vague term??

As would I !!!

Neither would I! That's why mine says Saiga!
