New Jersey and Gun Control

The gun control conundrum will continue ad infinitum. But what is happening in New Jersey should frighten anyone -- gun owner or not. NJS102 will most likely be affirmed by the Democrat senate majority in the NJ legislature. The NJ Assembly has already passed the following:

• A1217, which would create restraining orders in the state allowing family members and others to ask a judge to have a person's guns seized and ban them from buying weapons for up to a year.
  
• A2757, which would require all private gun sales in the state to go through a licensed dealer who can perform an additional background check at the point of sale.
  
• A2759, which would create an outright ban in the state on possessing armor-piercing bullets.
• A2761, which would ban magazines in the state that hold more than 10 rounds, with some exceptions.
  

David Kopel in "The Truth About Gun Control" asserts that "gun prohibition has many bases, among them the pacifist-aggressives -- people who want to use the force and violence of criminal law to make everyone else live by their personal philosophy of not using defensive force against violent attackers."

At one level, these new gun restrictions are extortion plots for more money. But more frightening, New Jersey is acting in a totalitarian manner as it works to control and punish its citizenry.

These encroachments are not about gun control; they are about people control.

These encroachments are not about gun control; they are about people control.

Always has been and always will be.
