GUN CONTROL FAILS NEW JERSEY~ANJRPC RELEASES FOUR PAGE GUIDE TO COMPLY WITH NJ MAGAZINE BAN BY DECEMBER 10, 2018
U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- Two
thugs chased a 19-year-old woman across the street, into a store, and
then executed her by shooting her 20 times. She died on a weekday
afternoon in broad daylight. She was killed in front of witnesses in
Trenton, the state capital of New Jersey. The murder was caught on
security cameras. Jersey politicians and the news media told us time and
again that this could never happen. We were supposed to be safe since
the rigorous gun-control laws in New Jersey have disarmed the criminals.
That obviously isn’t true and Jersey politicians and the news media
lied to us. In fact, honest law abiding people were disarmed while the
criminals still have guns. Gun control failed again and today, honest
people pay with their lives. Have we had enough?
Gun Control Jersey Style
New
Jersey has some of the strictest gun control laws in the United States.
The Giffords law center funded by Michael Bloomberg gives New Jersey an
A- rating for gun-control. I quote,
“New Jersey has some of the
strongest gun laws in the nation.. The state requires the licensing of
all firearms dealers and their employees, and requires a permit to
purchase any handgun.”
Unfortunately, criminals don’t obey gun laws and they don’t buy their guns from federally licensed dealers.
New
Jersey requires a permit to purchase any handgun, rifle, or shotgun.
All purchases require a background check. You won’t get your concealed
carry permit in New Jersey unless you are a politicians or a judge.
Honest law abiding citizens can only buy one gun per month, but it takes
months to get police permission to buy a handgun. Add a state-mandated
seven day waiting period on top of those delays. Ammunition magazines
are limited to a maximum capacity of ten rounds. Jersey gun owners can
be charged with a crime if they are late reporting a stolen gun, and
honest gun owners can be held liable for the actions that criminals take
if the stolen gun is used in a crime.
Jersey gun laws didn’t stop the murderers who shot the 19-year-old woman from getting a gun and carrying their guns in public.
Those
laws didn’t stop criminals. It can take an honest person at least half a
year to get a firearm legally in New Jersey. A criminal buys a new one
in an hour off the street.
Crime in Trenton
One horrific
story is not the same as data. Unfortunately, this story is repeated day
after day across the city. Trenton is the 32nd most a dangerous city in
the US, though even that does not qualify as the most dangerous city in
New Jersey. (That would be Camden at #4.) 94 percent of US cities are
safer than Trenton. Your chance of being a crime victim in Trenton are 1
in 26 each year. Even with all the gun laws in New Jersey, the number
of crimes in Trenton increased by 9 percent last year. When we look at
only violent crimes, Trenton is 249% more dangerous than the US taken as
a whole.
Gun Control fails New Jersey
If that is what
gun-control looks like, then I don’t want any of it. The reason gun
control fails is obvious. In the criminal justice system, only the first
crime is expensive: all the other crimes are free. You don’t care if
you use a stolen gun or a stolen car once you are going to commit
murder. There is no deterrent, no incremental penalty that changes your
behavior, once you’re the gang hitman. That is why gun control only
disarms honest people..which is what the Dirty Jersey politicians wanted
all along.
Gun control works for Jersey politicians but fails for New Jersey. Honest people die because of it.
Have you had enough?
