Paul Milo, editor of the Belleville Patch attended and wrote an article about Wednesday's NJ2AS meeting at Gun For Hire.

 

I found the story to be largely accurate with no opinion one way or the other from the author.

 

Please post a comment under the article if you can. Don't compliment the journalist. That's a "no-no." It's okay to comment that he was fair, reported the truth, etc. but no 'ata boys'. Otherwise he will feel compelled to go in the other direction in future articles.

 

Positive, courteous discussion on his site, however, would be very helpful to our cause as I got the impression when we talked that he was sincerely trying to understand our side of the debate and exactly who we are.

 

...and, I had no idea I would be quoted. I was quite surprised.

Those comments that were left there are EXCELLENT. The article was pretty good too.

Except for the one idiot who commented that the 2nd amendment should not allow assault rifles and semi's.....and then goes on to say but having a handgun in your house for protection is ok. The level of stupidity and ignorance out there is just amazing....

Nice to see the group getting some local ink. Good job, guys.

Good article. Again, i am sorry to have missed the meeting, but the wifes birthday comes once a year. Cant wait for the next one!

This article has been in the top 5 for the BellevillePatch website since it was written last week. Some good comments too.

This quote needs a little completion to give it the proper context..

 

“People laugh when I tell them this is an exciting time,” said Schmutter, who has worked on behalf of Second Amendment advocates and has filed “friend of the court” briefs with the US Supreme Court.

 

He actually said "People laugh when I tell them it is an exciting time to be a gun owner in New Jersey". That's what makes it hilarious!
