New Jersey -(AmmoLand.com)- We have always been very vocal on the insanity of New Jersey’s gun laws and how they turn innocent people like you and me into criminals. Simple possession of an innate object could lead you to years in prison for a victimless crime.
A recent and prime example of this is the case of Carlo Bellario. A New Jersey actor and comedian who is now facing over 10 years in prison for…possession of a BB gun (also known as a toy gun in normal States).
For those of you who have not heard of his case yet, Carlos was volunteering for a low-budget production film playing the part of a bodyguard. While filming a scene for the movie he was provided what he thought was a prop gun. During the filming a neighbor called the police and when they arrived they arrested Carlos for illegal possession of a firearm and is now facing over 10 years in prison.

Now, instead of complaining about how bad New Jersey’s gun laws are (which we all already know) we need to focus on the overzealous prosecutors who believe prosecuting these cases serve the public interest. What I am asking everyone to do is call Andrew Carey who is the Middlesex County Prosecutor and ask that he do the right thing and drop the charges against Carlos.
It is very clear Carlos has become victim to New Jersey’s draconian and ridiculous laws and it does not serve the public interest to waste New Jersey’s limited resources.
The prosecutor has the ability to drop charges as they have in other ridiculous cases such as this: http://www.nj.com/cumberland/
Andrew Carey can be reached at: 732-745-3300 and e-mail at [email protected].
Personally I will be calling every morning and afternoon until Mr. Carey does the right thing and drop the charges against Carlo. Join me and together we can make a difference and your voices heard!
Sincerely,
Alexander P. Roubian
President

I see this land not just Jersey filled with low IQ liberal bags who don’t care if punk politicians and most of them are punks are going vote Hillary in and the Supreme Court which is anything but supreme will in a short time trash the 2nd amendment. The additude is give me something for nothing welfare , child care, free abortions, easy jail sentences, allow convicts out early even though they are dangerous. This case is a disgrace this law, this prosecutor all suck wet ones, and if he cares to meet me I will tell him to his… Read more »
I would up vote both Matthew Ball and Timothy Toroian if I could. They both have great suggestions…
Check legal definition of IDIOT!!!
I have two words for a solution to the insanity — Jury Nullification — these cases must go before a jury of informed individuals. Which I would hope is everyone reading the articles on this site. Go and answer that jury duty call. And start judging the laws instead of the defendant. Anyone that faces one of these trumped up charges needs to fight to the bitter end with a jury trial, and it is the jury’s duty to find the defendant not guilty. This will only need to happen a few times before the prosecutors realize that these are… Read more »
And Governor Christy can’t figure out why he didn’t make the grade to be president he is
ANTI SECOND AMMENDMENT AND ANTI GUNS!
N.J is a joke. Why on earth would anyone want to live where they can’t have their freedoms?
My question is is this guy a democrap? If so let him go to jail! It’s because of his ignorant liberal voting that NJ has these laws, so let him and his family live with it. I refuse to stand up for any of the useless dipshits that vote for demolturds!!!! They will NEVER understand the idiocy of these laws until it affects THEM!
But if he is a conservative then we should fight it, and WIN!!!!
If he is a twice convicted felon I doubt he votes. I do not know? Just a thought?
Nothing in this article or the linked article states he was a felon, only that he did some time, could have been for anything. Besides, if he is a democrap, it is likely that his “spouse/girl friend” is also, and she votes. These people need to see just how idiotic these laws are and experience is the best teacher. I have no sympathy for them, especally consdering that their poor choices are what is making it harder and harder for the law-abiding citizens to be “lawful”.
What have republicans done to protect the absolute right to keep and bear arms? The second amendment admits of no exceptions. So, if one is a felon or a “democrap”, one is, nonetheless, entitled to possess a firearm.
Some falsely champion the late Justice Scalia for his authorship of Heller. Scalia believed that the right to possess firearms was not absolute – notwithstanding the absolute fact that there are no limitations in the text of the second amendment. If the framers had intended to restrict the right to keep and bear arms, they would have so said. They didn’t.
The notion that our Rights, enumerated in the Bill of Rights, are not absolute began with Oliver Wendell Holms, Jr. “You can’t shout fire in a crowded theatre.” I can’t remember the case cite. Someone here will.
Other elitist jurists and politicians ran with the notion.
I said nothing about them not having the right, I just stated that I wouldn’t lift a finger to help a demoldturd because they are the very turds that have caused the plethora of unconstitutional gun laws, and other unconstitutional laws that the rest of use are burdened with!
And actually republicans have done a hell of a lot to protect our 2nd amendment rights. If they hadn’t then we would have lost them a long time ago, or we would have fought a second revolutionary war!
that has nothing to do with this case, and it sets prescident so it can be used by douch bag justice system against good people I won’t be published then suck
This issue is internationally fraught with extremism. Gun controllers constantly seek schemes and hammer at owners. Even Australian “puff” cannons are illegal. They’re those gizmos that use air to propel souvenir T-shirts into crowds at sporting events. They know no bounds.
NJ prosecutes these bullshit cases to make an example out of innocent people and strike fear in the hearts of people in an effort to encourage compliance with their totalitarian edicts.
You are correct, sir.
QUE IMPORTANCIA PUEDE TENER LA ACCIÓN FISCALIZADORA DE LA JUSTICIA PARA CORREGIR VICIOS,
CUANDO UN FISCAL COMO ES EL CASO DEL DOCTOR ANDREW CAREY,PENALIZA A UN CIUDADANO POR
EXHIBIR UN ARMA DE UTILERÍA EN EL RODAJE DE UN FILME A 10 AÑOS DE PRISIÓN.DONDE ESTÁ LA COHERENCIA ENTRE LA OSTENTACIÓN DEL OBJETO DEL DELITO,Y LA DESMESURA EN UN CASTIGO INJUS
TO.HACEMOS UNA APELACIÓN AL DOCTOR CAREY EN ESTE SENTIDO,POR ENTENDER QUE ESTÁ DESPER
DICIANDO SU BUEN NOMBRE Y JERARQUÍA PROFESIONAL EN LA JUSTICIA.
speak English???
What, you didn’t understand that? Geez, who was your Spanish teacher in high school…P
This is America Speak the language of the country you are in. Speak Spanish in Mexico or Spain. Russian would be appropriate in Russia. I favor NO citizenship for anyone who can’t Read Write and Speak English.Eliminate all multi lingual labels, ballots, and signs. If it is not in English it can;t be used…….. There is a billboard for the Spanish speaking station that BRAGS that one of their talk show hosts has been stealing American Jobs for Twenty Years. It was in Spanish so as not to offend the GRINGO’s and to make fun of Americans. Any other country… Read more »
read spanish?
No.
Nein, ich spreche kein Deutsch
Ich spreche ein bisschen deutsch.
I’d rather speak German than trash, I mean spanish!
I think the reason they are going after this guy really hard is because he’s a twice convicted felon ! But being charged with a toy gun could only happen in NJ !
Here’s a thought, lets boycott Jersey, besides it stinks there. literally.
