NEWTOWN, Conn – -(Ammoland.com)- The New Jersey State Commission of Investigation this week issued a report calling for the state to require a photo identification card for the purchase of ammunition.

The current purchase card does not have a photo.

The group also suggested that mandated ammo purchase log books be replaced by an online system. This would be paid for by an increase in fees, of course.

“The SCI proposal will do nothing to enhance public safety in New Jersey because criminals are not going to obtain photo ID ammunition purchase cards,” NSSF’s Larry Keane told Guns.com. “They’ll get their ammo the same way they get their guns – illegally.

What’s so hard to understand about that? The proposal would launch another wasteful exercise carried out at the expense of law-abiding citizens.”

I do believe, but have no evidence, that Chris Christie was dumped by Trump because of Christies stance on the 2nd amendment and not because of bridge gate.

Cross the Delaware River into the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and purchase all the ammunition you want. No ID needed. No Pennsylvania laws broken.

@djr, Yep, if the elites can keep Hillary out of jail with the legal techniques available to them, then we ordinary people can keep each other out of jail using the legal techniques available to us. I am not, however, advocating a “Give us Barabus” use of jury nullification.

The right of Jury Nullification is the citizens last ditch stance between stupid unjust laws, and the might of the federal government. Fail to use it appropriately at your own pearl

Why is NJ so anti gun. Do they have that much gun crime or what is there political hatred of guns? I have visited most of the lower 48 but NJ is one I refuse to go to because of there anti gun crap. If I can’t travel thru there state without worry about having a gun with I will spend my time and money somewhere else. I do hope Trump gets on board with national right to carry I would love to carry when traveling and not have to worry every time I cross a state line. Local laws… Read more »

Blame it on Chris Cristy. He is anti-gun and wrought with anti-gun advocates that want to change the 2A. Letting him near Trump would have been disastrous.
