- Monday Full Senate Session Scheduled With Minimal Notice.
- Resolution Intentionally Blocks Self-Defense By Those Facing Serious Threats.
- Please Immediately Tell Committee Members and All State Senators to Oppose.
Trenton, NJ –Â -(Ammoland.com)- Outraged by the promulgation of State Police regulations making a tiny incremental improvement in right to carry recommended by Governor Christie, Senate Democrats led by Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37) are fast-tracking SCR101, a legal trick that could kill the new regulations before they are even formally adopted.
Only in the Garden State do lawmakers openly block self-defense by those facing serious threats and tout it as a good thing.
And only in the New Jersey does the state constitution contain an obscure provision allowing the legislature to unilaterally kill regulations issued by an entirely separate branch of government in a simple “resolution” that does not require the Governor’s signature to be effective.
Police owe no duty to protect individual citizens – a troubling doctrine repeatedly affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. That means you’re on your own in an emergency, yet those who wish to take responsibility for their own safety are effectively blocked from doing so by New Jersey’s absurdly (and unconstitutionally) restrictive carry law.
The pending state police regulations recommended by Governor Christie represent a small incremental improvement, allowing those facing “serious threats” to qualify.
Anti-gun legislators, who themselves enjoy the armed protection of State House security details, hypocritically are working to block everyone else’s self-defense rights. SCR101 would be more aptly named the Citizen’s Victimization Act.
SCR101 is scheduled for consideration in the full Senate on Monday, May 9 2016, passing along party line votes in the Senate Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee tomorrow (Thursday, May 5).
Please immediately tell all State Senators to vote NO on SCR101. Tell them to support the right of those facing serious threats to protect themselves where government has abandoned its obligation to do so.

@Eric_CA,I think Trump,and his Supreme Court nominees will be the ‘someone’ that believes in the constitution at the federal level when he becomes president. Law-abiding Americans just ain’t gonna take anymore of this bullsh*it ! Take care.
Living in California, I have empathy for NJ residents. I thought we had it bad, but NJ is really a S–thole. More importantly, I believe that nothing will change as longs as we have “a government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” People in the inner cities aren’t going to vote away their entitlements. A good start is withholding Federal funds from sanctuary cities and cities they pass unconstitutional laws. Do away with immunity to legislatures that pass unconstitutional laws. This can only happen at the Federal level. Preferably by someone that… Read more »
Damn it makes me sick to see law-abiding fellow Americans treated like this. It really does piss me off and there is only so much people will take.
Firearms laws and statutes will soon become a states right issue.It’s critical to live in a free state when this happens although to a certain degree it already has. I know that it is a total pain in the ass to uproot your families and move to a gun friendly state because of the tyranny going on in states like New Jersey but I see no other viable options. The socialists are in a panic mode to get as much unconstitutional,socialist,tyrannical,anti-2A legislation passed as possible as soon as possible. They are acting like they have already lost the White House… Read more »
The TRUTH about the “supremacy clause” – our Constitution does not delegate to the national government authority to restrict our arms, ammunition, regulate firearms dealers, do background checks, etc. The national government may not lawfully circumvent this restriction by means of a treaty wherein the signatory governments agree to disarm their Citizens or Subjects.
