The gun control laws in New Jersey are precisely the kinds of hoops that many hop lops would like to see be universal. Watch this video and see how absurd gun control can really be.

1. I always suspect such things produced by people who make their living off guns -- as is case here.

9. I always suspect comments made by people considered to be anti-gun zealots

and those that would like to infringe on my Constitutional rights--as in your case.

15. Who here is "make(ing) their living off guns"? n/t

[SteveM]

18. You're right. The entire State of New Jersey is "making its living off guns!"

21. I consider myself a participant in democracy

That does not make it biased or disingenuous for me to advocate democracy or the dismantling of those things that impede its practice.

3. And that "license" would be recognized in every other state right?

So tough shit for New York, Illinois and California, right?

6. Yep _ I can drive there, so I can buy/possess/carry any firearm there. nt

8. I would love

to be able to legally walk around Manhattan with a gun.

[gejohnston]

4. that may be true of you

but not true of Brady and company. Most of the leaders in the gun control movement stated they want prohibition or regulations absurdly unreasonable like NYC, DC and Chicago.

5. I think I like a gun license like a driver's license.

Answer a few questions, shoot up a few targets to show safe handling...get a license. Then I can decide to buy whatever gun I want anytime I want and carry it anywhere in the nation.

Pretty cool!

7. What you fail to understand

is that driving is a PRIVILEGE, granted by the state to those it deems qualified, according to standards and testing set at the discretion of legislators and officers of the state. In contrast, buying, possessing, and carrying a firearm is a RIGHT, an extension of a Natural Right that existed before the founding of this country, officially recognized in the Bill of Rights. It is a fundamental freedom that separates us from most of the rest of the world.

A RIGHT is not something subject to licensure, qualification, taxation, or other types of restriction designed to stifle the free exercise thereof. A black man in Alabama has as much of a RIGHT to carry a handgun with which to defend his own life as any white people, and shouldn't be subjected to some cockamamy "poll tax" scheme like a "gun test". Such a test would probably be designed specifically for black people to fail, just so they could be denied their right to be armed.

Should we have a "voter test" too? How about a "4th Amendment test" when the cops show up at your door, and if you pass it they won't kick your teeth in and enter without a warrant? Maybe a "speedy trials test" that will keep you from being locked up for 5 years waiting for trial?

If not, why is any other RIGHT somehow different?

10. IN contrast to NRA spokesperson

and what they want.

12. Unrec for obscure insult.

No better than Hoyt's incessant 'toter' insult.

13. Goose and Gander and all that.

14. I've taken to using the term "pro-restrictionists"....

as it is accurately descriptive without ascribing any particular motive that may be highly subjective.

That's not to say I don't have sub-catagories ready at hand....

[SteveM]

19. ...his incessant 'toter" -- or two -- insult. nt

16. I sure am glad that I live in Florida ...

we have reasonable gun laws in my state.

[oneshooter]

17. The great crime free state of New Jersey ! Where is IS possible to own a Daisey Red Ryder BB gun.

IF you have a permit, if you can pass a NCIS check.

Yes a permit and NCIS check for a Daisey Red Ryder BB gun.

20. It always amazes me that states that have draconian gun control are often ...

states that have a long reputation as homes of organized crime rings.

I wonder is this is just a coincidence.
