A local Morristown council woman has been very busy attacking our rights as an anti-gun lawmaker.  She actively attacks us any chance she can.  She spoken at least once in Trenton on May 2nd and maybe other times.  The other day she had the following letter published in the Daily Record:  "Gun control must also address ammo capacity"  You can find it at:  http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20130521/NJOPINION02/305210006/Gun-control-must-also-address-ammo-capacity?nclick_check=1

 

I have posted a rebuttal online, but it would be great if lots of folks here did the same and really slammed her.

 

Thanks for your help!!!

Fortunately, she's counterbalanced by a great pro-2A councilwoman, Alison Deeb. Let her know what her colleague is up to.

Alison knows.  I am not sure I would call her pro-2A but I would call her fair and balanced.  I heard her speak at a program she organized at the Morris County Library at which I spoke.

Someone should link to the video thats was posted yesterday showing the family getting broken into and running out of rounds. it may help wake some people up.

This video

I posted the link to the PSA in my reply to the letter

I was at that meeting too. It was great. Fair, balanced, and reasonable.

 

I had an email exchange with her after the show. I think she's smart enough to not come out as overtly pro-2A and alienate people, but I have no doubt she'd do the right thing.

I want to post but remain anonomously so I am not targeted.

Targeted for/by what exactly? If it's the government, they already have a ton of my pistol permits. I am A KNOWN GUN OWNER.

I answered it with this:

 

I can hear the criminals now...."oh no...I can only have 10 bullets?! Shucks!". Seriously, the idea of limiting magazine size is so very abitrary. Policeone.com did a poll of over 15,000 police officers. One of the questions regarding magazine size had a whopping 96% response that reducing magazine size would not reduce crime. Anyone who wants to comment on gun control should read the survey here:

Lots of people like to quote surveys and polls. Few have any real relevance when you consider the size of the sampling or the people surveyed. The Policeone.com poll is far more significant. Police deal with crime on a day to day basis. I think they know what they're talking about. I'm not talking about Police Chiefs who may have politics to deal with, but front line cops. Something else to consider. If limiting magazine size puts a criminal at disadvantage when reloading (it doesn't but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt) then consider a homeowner or a business man facing a home invasion or a robbery. In a home invasion, there are almost always multiple perpetrators. Assuming that each perpetrator had a legal 10 round magazine in their guns and the homeowner had a legal 10 round magazine, who's at a disadvantage? The homeowner would be in an already highly stressful position with half the capability to fight back and would be the one who had to change magazines.  Do you think that's 'fair' to the homeowner defending his family? Consider that home invasions occur far more frequently than  mass shootings. Let's make sure the laws are properly focused. We would be far better off to have more severe penalties for crimes with guns, less lenient judges, prosecutors who take criminals to trial and don't plea bargain, take away the parole leniency, and take steps to make schools safer. I hope you read and consider my comments carefully.

Thanks for the support in countering her letter.  I think we need to share letters like that one more often so we can actively refute some of their trash talking.

"In that same spirit, Gov. Christie could ask the state Senate president to put gun magazines on a diet. Ten bullets per magazine should be ample."

 

 

Well maam, it doesn't matter if there are 10 meatballs in that sandwich, when you can just eat another sandwich, and another and another?

I don't post on Facebook where I work or what I do. Plus, I don't advertise that I own firearms either. It is none of anyone's business.

Got it. I thought you meant more of the tinfoil hat type worries. The government knows you and I have guns whether I like it or not.

True! But not all my co-workers do. Only the fellow gun nuts.

And when we act like it's a dirty little secret, it just reinforces that idea to everyone that already thinks it is.

It is not a secret to my friends. It is the other nosey people at work that don't need to know my business. They don't need to know what I have and where I have it.

 

I like porn too, but don't go around telling me co-workers I do.
