Cory Booker on gun laws: "What really infuriates me is the level of violence....."

 

He doesn't rail against Stand Your Ground, since NJ doesn't have it, but just babbles on about MAIG's typical bedwetting talking points......

If Cory saves any more people from burning buildings, he'll be the next governor!

It would have been sweet if someone countered with some statistics showing how few legal firearms are used in crime. Or the correlation between legal ownership, and decreased crime rates.

 

Then again, he likely would put his hands over his ears, and yelled," LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LA LA LA"

Actually, please find his old interview. He gave one during OGAM hearings, and he stated first hand...

 

"In the time I have been mayor, not one crime was committed with a legally purchased firearm."

 

I don't think he has anything against legal gun owners, nor wants an outright ban as many democrats do.

With all the fires set daily in Newark...........he could be on duty 24/7......

Despite our differences on 2A, we have to give him his due on that. You wouldn't see Bloomberg doing that.

That's true. I'm like that with Rob Andrews. I hate that he's anti-gun, because he's always been very good to my family, and really seems to care, unlike most politicians.

Interesting points in the comments. Lets say Obama gets re-elected, gets another Supreme Court Justice and gets all guns banned by saying the 2nd amendment applies to militia only and you have every blue state ban guns. Then later the dems get control of both houses and pass it ala the health care law and in concert with the UN treaty.

 

Wouldnt most people just quietly turn over their guns, because by definition we are law abiding citizens? I almost feel like we are in a battle we are destined to lose.

I don't think anybody would quietly turn over their guns. I know I wouldn't and you couldn't force me to go and take them from people.

I'm not worried about YOU, just the ones like down in New Orleans that went door-to-door after Katrina, collecting everyone's guns so they couldn't shoot looters, be they black, white, or purple......

We need to look to our neighbors to the North for an interesting figure. According to this thread, 3/4 of the firearms in Canada were never registered when the registry was created....

"That leaves, conservatively, 3/4 of the firearms in the country unregistered in a massive act of civil disobedience by true patriot Canadians against a bad law."

 

If there were only a 1/4 compliance in Canada for just a gun registry. What percentage would Americans would comply with total gun bans and/or confiscation?

 

Would I be safe to guess that 'compliance' would be much, much less than 1/4 of gun owners in the U.S. ?

I think many people would tell the govt. they lost their firearms in a boating accident.

I bet half the gun owners would turn them in voluntarily. Didn't most of the Brits turn in their handguns voluntarily? Here in Jersey, they know what HG's you have.

British subjects are loyal to the Crown of England. They have a constitutional monarchy.

 

We are not subjects. We are citizens. We are also (or at least were created as) a constitutional republic. Big differences there.

 

I don't think the example of British subjects voluntarily giving up one of their inalienable rights with nary a peep, much less a fight, is not able to be used as an example of how Americans would act should a similar scenario occur.

The UK also never had the tradition or culture of firearms that we have here.

 

Any comparison between different countries must be taken with a grain of salt as the differences in culture may greatly influence what is seen.

UK pols were also smart, they divided and conquered by separating gun owners. Hunters didnt care when handguns were banned and didnt realize they were next.

There will be no mass confiscation of US guns. The anti's know this won't work, and their plan is to simply "reasonably regulate" their purchase, transfer, transportation, and possession into oblivion. For instance, OGAM for all types of firearms, NJ HG transportation-like laws for all firearms.. nationally, 4 round mags, no SA, etc, etc

 

This way they can avoid the sticky 2A conversation as they will claim that they "are not infringing on any rights and are just enacting reasonable, common sense gun laws to keep bad people from getting guns".....

What part of the last election did you miss thinking there is a possibility over the next 20 yrs that dems will control both houses AND the POTUS?

There are VERY few politicians who will even touch anti gun laws right now. After this Zimmerman thing blows over, there will be even less.

 

You will have the usual leftist idiots, but most mainstream dems know it is a death knell for them.

 

The culture of this country is NO WHERE close to accepting this.

Arthur Sills, the architect of New Jersey's 1966 Firearms ID card law used those terms way back then when the public hearings were going on before the bill went to the legislature for a vote and then its eventual passage....

Compared to some politicians, his comments are mild. He even goes so far as to say that he's not concerned about NJ citizens who legally own their guns. I think what Mikey says above is correct. But for the lefty fringes on each coast, the vast majority of this country has no problems with guns. (Illinois excluded lol)
