State Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic) is seeking to loosen New Jersey's gun law, which requires citizens to demonstrate for a prosecutor and judge a "justifiable need" for a gun in order to receive a permit. According to a report on PressofAtlanticCity.com, the new legislation would change the requirement to three different gun safety courses and a background check.

Such misinformation and inaccuracies about the current regulations continues to boggle my mind. When are these editors going to stop publishing manure??

What a dope.

 

Currently, New Jersey issues permits if there is a "justifiable need" to own a gun

Thats a pretty bad article. It's like they didn't even try.

Your article is factually inaccurate. "...pushing for legislation that would loosen the requirement to own a handgun in New Jersey..." They're looking to

change the requirement to CARRY a handgun. The "safety checks" you refer to include a psychological evaluation, safety course, and having to qualify

shooting at a range at the same standard as law enforcement. Please check your facts before passing along incorrect information and marginalizing the

safety requirements.

 

I tried to send this with the Inappropriate Content link, but it kept giving me an error. I sent them an email instead. I'll post my response if I get one.

Don't they always screw up anything gun related ? They don't know anything about guns, so they make up stuff.
