New Jersey –-(Ammoland.com)- The so-called “Sweeney Bill”S2723/A4182 passed during the Assembly Budget Committee Hearing.

However our efforts do not end here. This is the time to get smart. If we do not want this bill to pass the full Assembly as is, we are going to need to make REASONED arguments to our district Assembly representatives asking them to make amendments before the bill is considered by the full Assembly. We will have to work hard and fast. If you do not know who your Assembly reps are, you can find them here.

We believe that the training requirement to exercise the constitutionally protected right to own a firearm is as unconstitutional as the “Jim Crow” laws.  It will cost the taxpayers of NJ a fortune to defend against the inevitable lawsuits.

Combining the FID with the driver’s license is a potential privacy nightmare. It may also make it impossible for NJ residents to purchase firearms and ammunition outside of the state which is a possible violation of interstate commerce laws, generating even more potential lawsuits.

The elimination of private sales places an unnecessary burden upon family members wishing to transfer firearms from one family member of friend to another. To what end? Gun trafficking within the border of NJ is not a problem among the law abiding, and the laws against illegal transfers are already in place and are summarily ignored by criminals. (Another Lawsuit pending)

While this bill places significant restrictions upon law-abiding firearms owners, it does nothing to prevent gun violence committed by career criminals and the insane.

Hopefully there are enough reasonable members of the legislature that we can raise enough doubt to get some significant amendments on the floor. There is no point in taking out our anger on them now. The time for that will be in November for those members who continue to ignore us.

Keep in mind that the current goal is to influence as many members as possible to amend the bill or to vote *NO*! We want to use reason and not anger. Thank you.

TRUTH BE TOLD

Why if it is unconstitutional does someone not have the right to end that threat….
Of course they do….. end the threat……

MR SMITH

Why don’t you all file a perjury claim against mr Sweeney, on the basis of a violation of his oath of office…

Perjury in NJ holds a high punishment

It is sad to see this continued corruption at it’s finest. It tells a lot when a bill will not pass through the proper channels. It’s certainly obvious that the bill isn’t the “will of the people” when it has to be slithered through attached to a budget bill that has nothing to do with it. If people don’t get off their duffs soon, it just won’t matter any longer..

Sweeney bill = unconstitutional

Please make a list of the politicians that are for this bill, that way I can vote against them come November.

This so called bill is an act of treason!

Deal Breaker

If you put contact information, it just makes it easier instead of hunting for information to these @$$hats in congress.

A major error is trying to work within the corrupted system of ‘government’ local and Federal…(1) officials have limitless funding…(2) officials lie to get in office and once in ,lie about what they do…(3) officials are never held accountable..NOW..always at a later date if even then..(4)playing by their rules’laws’.. and trying to amend them has gotten us ..where….NULLIFY and Civil disobedience are the only alternatives to this ‘one party system’ we call government..If you comply to their..Unconstitutional laws…..YOU lose…imho
