I don't know what is up with these callers and mentioning gun control, is it not common sense that if not with a gun than a knife or some other blunt object a bat maybe? They should realize it's the person and not the gun to blame, but you can't explain that to them enough.

I agree completely. But we live in a socity where it is commonplace to blame the nameless, faceless objects and groups for all our problems. I guess it helps some people sleep better if they blame the bun, knife, car, mental disease, upbringing and opression for all the problems. Personally I get irritated when I hear people look for excuses for peoples actions insted o blaming the person at fault. The criminal that shot the Lakewood officer, it was the guns fault and it was the fault of his upbringing, he was 19 with a criminal record, he didn't stand a chance. The tucson shooter should have saught mental health or everyone who thought he was creepy should have reported him. Jeffry Dahmer had an abusive childhood. The fact is that the world has evil people, not evil inatimate objects.

I had to turn the radio off when the caller was talking about 30 rd mags on that full auto glock.

The same stupid comments come from laufenberg.

Gun control will only control the guns that LAW ABIDING citizens have. In the case of someone who wants to commit a violent crime with a weapon, they are not going to concern themselves with breaking another law to get the gun.

Unfortunately neither morality or common sense can be legislated.

Case in point; Jahmell Crockam, had one of us surfs had a run in with this low life and wound up on the short end of "Sav's gat" do you think the state would have mobilized hundreds of state, local and federal agents to find him? The law not only did not stop this low life from carrying his gun and hollow points without a state sanctioned permit it didn't even stop him from killing a law enforcement officer. This if I recall correctly is also a crime. No greater example can exist of how useless the gun laws in NJ are at keeping honest citizens safe from criminals with ill intent like Jahmell...

I Couldn't agree more. Can you imagine the guy ready to commit muder "oh wait a second, these 20 round mags are illegal." Anti-gun groups do not think logically. They have the flawed vision that the government or state will protect us. There will always be evil in the world, and criminals will use what ever means available - guns, knives, bats, whatever. Gun restrictions only effect law abiding citizens and prevent them from protecting themselves. The criminals will always have the black market to get whatever they want and that's where they usually go.

funny - they want to outlaw the gun and the magazine but they say nothing about the POT that this fugger was smoking like it was going out of style.

 

Opportunist Politicians.

Can you imagine the guy ready to commit murder "oh wait a second, these 20 round mags are illegal."

Which is EXACTLY how these politicians or anti-gunners must think!! They honestly think that if they RESTRICT guns, that it will actually PREVENT crime. It is the most illogical thinking I have ever seen. Again, if someone wants to commit a violent crime, they are not going to be stopped by some law. I would be willing to bet that at least 95% of criminals in NJ do not even have the slightest clue regarding the legal process of buying a gun in NJ.

Recently, a front page article in the Courier Post newspaper cited a 15% increase in homicides here in NJ.

 

As I have said a while ago. (Just wait watch and see) The more *gun* restricts we have, the more crime (in general) will go up, here in you guessed it...NJ . This has always been the case, even in other countries.

 

So let's hypothetically suggest that we begin a near-ban on long and 'short' guns. Now let's assume the murder-rate climbs yet again (and it WILL.) Now, let's assume NJ will move on to ban ALL guns and even BB guns (which are categorised by NJ as "firearms".) Now we have yet another increase in crime rate(s). Now what???

 

Now let's assume we are like Florida who enacted CCW reform. (One of the 1st states to do so?) After yrs or decades have passed, their statistics show a decrease in crime.

 

Could NJ's crime show a reduction??? My assumption is NO -believe it or not. Most NJ-ians (yall know who they are) are a bunch of soft, wussy, anti-gun ninnies, who dont know how to shoot a spit-ball let alone a Ruger 10/22 with that really-really stupid 10-rd factory rotary mag. And who have been thoroughly brainwashed into thinking any and all projectile launching platform(s) that can launch projectiles faster than one can run, is 'EVIL and BAD.' Why??? They dont really know.

 

So I'm givin up on NJ . Firstly, it is getting to be like Scandinavia up here with our winters. Secondly, even w/ property taxes (ahhhh yes....property TAXES) being capped at 2% or whatever, That is still a HUGE letdown as it is a percentage tacked onto the most heavily prop tax state in the country(?). Utter decades long One Party domination and general sheep-like STUPIDITY has led to the pain and suffering of many good folks. My direction of move would be to the South.

 

Later Freaks!!!

I agree, I just read about a guy who stabbed his family in Jersey City and someone in Plainfield who was stabbed to death, kinda proves my point of it's the person and not the instrument they are using.

Well politiciams are cetainly going to prefer banning high cap mags to funding state and federal mental health care. Mental illness has a way of keeping people poor.
