Opinion by Alejandro Roubian
New Jersey – -(AmmoLand.com)- Alex “Alejandro” Roubian has been attending press conferences with Governor Murphy since becoming elected. In that time, he acquired press pass instructions from the New Jersey Press Association. Per the New Jersey Press Association:
“A New Jersey police credential is not required nor intended for use related to covering municipal, county or state government meetings. Nor is it for access to events, e.g. sports and entertainment. In such cases, an identification card issued by the employing news organization may be presented.”
He has attended numerous events as a news reporter and questioned the governor many times. Alejandro’s content, videos, and articles have been watched and read by millions. But that all ended today in a crescendo of delicious hypocrisy.
The governor has completely banned NJ citizens from buying firearms and ammunition during the state-wide quarantine.
Alejandro has recently attended 3 press conferences questioning the governor about this ban. At the third press conference, Governor Murphy became visibly irritated at Alejandro’s presence and admitted “that (it) is not without dispute” that his office had rejected Alejandro’s “press credentials.”
Today’s press conference was different. Unlike previous days, the doors were locked. When he knocked on the door, he was intercepted by armed guards and a representative from Governor Murphy’s office. Additional armed state police officers surrounded him in a show of force and intimidation.
You won’t believe the hypocrisy from the Office of The Governor that has denied every New Jerseyan the right to purchase a firearm for protection.
Watch the stunning footage where our statist Governor uses force and firearms to censor the First Amendment rights of a member of the press, after already denying the collective 2nd amendment rights of the entire citizenry.

Won’t believe it? No, I kinda expect it.
If you ever wanted to know what “jack-booted thugs” look like, you just watched them in action. These are the baby steps that are leading us straight into the abyss. It gets worse from here.
The United States of America is quickly falling into tyranny. The sad thing about this is that the people have elected the tyrants to lord it over them, and the same people don’t seem to care. They actually appear gleeful that they are being subjects instead of free citizens. Sad state of affairs.
@wjd, more people purchasing guns means more health for the firearms industry; more people realizing that confiscation of personal property will effect them; more people realizing that “It is easier to buy a firearm than a book.” is just an democrat lie; more people realizing that politicians and police will apply restrictive laws to them; and more bargains on the secondary market, for us, in the future.
Everyone knows that those hypocrites who want to take away our legal right to defend ourselves and others, are those who are themselves armed, and probably to the teeth. What you have to keep in mind about small security teams like this surrounding low level politicians, is that they are only equipped, therefore situated, to handle only a few people at a time, and even then, mostly through fear and intimidation. Where this tactic fails is when ten – twenty people show up all bearing AR-15s and sidearms. At that point that have to either bail (which they will!) or… Read more »
Politicians with armed guards afraid of people with opposing views is a clear sign of them knowing they are violating the Constitution. These politicians and bureaucrats are no different than dictators. They hide in the shadows of hypocrisy, while pretending to represent you.
What goes around, comes around. When it does the govs armed guards will leave the gov to fend for himself as the citizens will be merciless to those who were merciless to them in their time of need.
Those on the left can never be accused of being able to see past the middle of their own noses.
Now hold on. I thought that the only members of any law enforcement agency who would act like this were the higher up, the top brass, the leaders. The average, everyday rank and file were just like us, on our side, are looking out for us, upholding the Constitution. BS!!! 99% of police, probably 100% in nj, are nothing but thugs with badges who are gonna do what they’re told to do because they’re gonna keep that check, that job. You think they care about us? No! Think they care about the Constitution? No! Think they care about the Second… Read more »
Governor Patrick Murphy ia pathetic would be petty Tyrant who in the end is going to bend over, grab his ankles and take it in the shorts, like many other would be Tyrants before him.
Being a hypocrite is a sine qua non of being a firearms thief,
Who’s the wannabe tough guy in the photo in this article? Lol
