New Jersey – -(Ammoland.com)- In a fervor to exploit tragedy and advance a longstanding agenda to limit gun rights, a majority of Garden State lawmakers voted today to pass a package of gun bills that target the rights of law-abiding citizens instead of severely punishing criminals and madmen who misuse firearms.
“None of the bills passed today will make anyone safer,” said ANJRPC Executive Director Scot Bach. “Lawmakers have squandered an important opportunity to make our schools safer and prevent those with serious mental health issues from obtaining firearms in the first place.”
“Instead,” continued Bach, “they have enacted a series of measures limiting the ability of citizens to defend themselves, and enabling those hostile to gun rights to abuse legal process to harass gun owners. Law-abiding firearms owners are not the problem, and limiting their rights accomplishes nothing to advance safety.”
Once these bills are signed by the governor, which could come before the weekend, Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs plans on taking the fight to the courts, where we expect unconstitutional laws to be overturned, and lawmakers to be forced to respect the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs would like to thank the tens of thousands of gun owners who participated in our grassroots blitz leading up to today’s vote. We received several requests from legislators to “make it stop,” and some gun owners reported that there was an attempt to place a firewall on the legislative server in an effort to block messages in the last 24 hours. Based on the overwhelming volume of calls and emails sent, one thing is certain: lawmakers know with certainty that any effort to limit the gun rights of law-abiding citizens is going to be difficult and painful every step of the way, and they will pick their future battles very carefully.
Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs will be providing detailed analysis of the new laws and their impact on law-abiding gun owners in the coming days and weeks. Regarding the magazine ban, there is a 180-day implementation period within which to comply, so there is time for you to assess the best course of action to take with respect to your property. That time has the potential to be further extended in anticipated litigation.

On June 8, 1967 they tried to sink the USS Liberty in international waters. On June 8, 2018 the international globalist lackeys voted to sink the LIBERTY that our founders gave us with the 2A. And they can go to hell. We will not comply with their illegal, unconstitutional laws. Molon Labe !
Once you vote them into power, they force their agenda on you. TOP priority of their agenda – CITIZEN DISARMAMENT!
NO amount of public sentiment could’ve stopped them from ramming these bills through.
THE SUPREME COURT NEEDS TO REIGN IN THIS ROUGE UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLITICAL PARTY NOW!!!
(Or they must be considered COMPLICIT)

You reference what happened in a small southern town, a great many years ago. In addition to this fact, might I point out the following. The people involved, had seen combat, and had balls, something that seems to be lacking in the general public these days, having balls that is. I could perhaps add an additional point or two, but I believe that the above stated is sufficient.
Have you ever heard of the Athens, GA. revolt a.k.a. the 2nd Civil War? If not I suggest you check it out on line.
Perhaps it’s time (I personally believe it’s past time) to follow the example of those veterans in 1946.
Political corruption MUST be addressed – STOPPED.
So being an American in New Jersey ( a law abiding one) is now a crime, the scum and the illegal alien immigrant, and don’t forget the elected officials(cowards), are now the chosen ones the few who walk on water. To the free new Jersey Citizens YOU must take your state back anyway you can! Good Luck
As I always called it… New Jerksey. Can’t stand going there even when doing so in my job.
Members of the state lgislature, being elect d things, leave voting records behind themselves. If gun owners inNew Jersey don’t take action at the voting booth, they deserve the screwing they are getting.
NJ Dumb-ocrats and RINOs pass anti-gun laws faster than they pass gas. Both stink worse than Bayonne!
So much for the ‘will of the People’ – tyranny by our ‘betters’ because they think they know what is best for us ‘little people’ (aka Citizens – at least supposedly). Will never again visit that commie locale again.
When “laws” like this are overturned as being unconstitutional, the lawmakers responsible need to personally reimburse anyone who puts up money going to court to fight an illegal “law”. In addition, they need to pay a punitive fine for violating people’s rights. Maybe then this widespread nonsense will cease.
