On Feb. 13, 2013, NJ's Law and Public Safety committee introduced 24 new bills imposing more restrictions on firearms' and ammunition's purchase, sale and ownership in our great state. It was an extremely interesting meeting that attracted around 500 people opposing the new legislations.
The meeting was headed by Charles Mainor of Jersey City, and had a majority of Democrats on the board. Many of the citizens that attended the meeting requested to testify before each bill was voted on only to be met with Mr. Mainor's shocking instructions!
The chairman of the committee was concerned there were too many people that requested to testify on each bill, which would take too much time. Instead, he said, "We can vote on all the bills first and then listen to people's testimony at the end!" Apparently someone had failed to inform Mainor that "WE THE PEOPLE" refers to the American citizens, not the government officials.
Mainor's suggestion was met with an uproar from the crowd that rejected his authoritarian attitude and refused to allow him to proceed without objection. He, then, came to terms and agreed to hear people's testimony before each bill was to be voted on.
The events of that day had two major indications:
- People in charge of our public committees behave as if they were Kings and Queens
- It didn't matter what the people came to say because they were going to pass those bills regardless.
The 24 bills that were introduced that day all passed the vote with little opposition since the majority of the committee was Democratic. As I listened to the many testimonies by the supporters of the 2nd Amendment, it was clear that most of the bills were written hastily by those that do not own firearms or have any real experience on the subject. Mainor stated that the purpose of all the proposed bills was to curb violent crimes using firearms and to prevent those firearms from falling into the wrong hands. Sounds awesome if you do not know much about the bills or are unaware about who are committing the overwhelming majority of violent crimes in the country!
According to the FBI records, there were 269 murders in the state of NJ in 2011. Only one of those homicides was committed using a rifle. That is so much less than 1 percent. Yet Mainor thought that there is a need to ban AR15 in NJ! Where is the common sense in that bill?
We all know that the majority of violent crimes in the country are caused by gangs and their turf wars. Everyone knows this fact, especially the president! Yet, not even one of his proposed firearm restrictions targeted gangsters! Not one bill increases the prison time for anybody committing a crime using a firearm?
Since Hadiya "The little 15-year-old girl" was shot in Chicago, the media couldn't stop reporting her story. Their agenda was to stir more emotions from the people to increase the support for the new restrictions on firearms. But they failed to report one major part of that sad story. The young man that shot that little girl was a known and convicted gang member.
Ward, who was already on probation for unlawful use of a firearm after pleading guilty in a 2011 arrest, was one of the shooters that took the young girl's life. How is it that someone who is a convicted gang member and arrested with the unlawful possession of a firearm is on the streets? Where is the legislation that would fix this major problem with our prison system? There simply isn't one. Our politicians do not wish to tackle a racially charged issue!
Instead, they decided to enact laws and legislations that would never affect the urban neighborhoods and put violent criminals away for good and off the streets. A feel-good type of legislations that does not fix a problem, but sounds good on TV.
Last night I was discussing this issue with a friend of mine who grew up in a very rough neighborhood and currently works as a police officer. He is not a "Gun Nut" nor interested in firearms beyond his ability to do his job to the best he can. I asked for his opinion on the new bills and his exact words were "They won't resolve anything because gangs do not follow the law." This is a testimony from someone that grew up in rough neighborhoods and is a law enforcement agent. He, in my opinion, is the authority on the issue more than anyone else is.
I can tell you for a fact that most of the bills introduced have no real answers to violent crimes nor will ever stop criminals and crazy people from committing them. They were all written without any real debate or research. They are simply "FEEL GOOD POLITICS" and designed to make some politicians look good. It was very apparent, as people testified against those bills, that those who wrote them didn't have any real answers or real knowledge about the current laws or about firearms in general. Shouldn’t we seek help from those that know before we enact pointless laws?
Did you know that Assault Weapons are already banned in NJ? Yet, one of the new proposed bills bans AR15! Did you know that in the state of NJ there is already a limit on magazine capacity? (Only 15 rounds max are allowed) Did you know that NJ residents can’t purchase a firearm unless they have a firearm purchasing ID card? Did you know that you must submit to a mental background check in order to be eligible for a firearm ID card?
We already have one of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Second only to Chicago but did you know that both Chicago and us have the highest crime rates in the country? Maybe we need to stop deciding on resolutions based on our emotions and we need to use logic and reason for a change! Maybe it’s time to think before we act! Maybe we need to sit together (both sides of the aisle) and discuss actual real solutions based on educated and well-informed opinions. Maybe it is time to stop allowing our political correctness to control our future.

I couldn't agree more with this article. It’s a great thing that we are trying to prevent firearms falling into the wrong hands, but they way the government is going about it are the wrong way. Our laws prevent criminals from obtaining a gun. Our new proposed laws will not deter criminals from not obtaining a gun. It just prevents law abiding citizens from obtaining a gun and protecting themselves from criminals.
The government needs to focus on more IMPORTANT issues like mental health, fixing our education system, our unemployment rate, welfare system, etc. If we fix these issues, we would see a reduction in not only gun violence, but violence itself. Our government needs to stop putting band aids over the problem and focus on the real issues.

Great job Ahmed. Why can't the powers that be see what we see. Bad guys will get weapons illegally. Always have and always will. The focus should be on recidivism - keeping these animals locked up. All these killers have priors - and then there is the irresponsible parent leaving the gun cabinet unlocked or giving their shut-in nut job kid access to weapons. It's all about effectively handling the violent element in our society in our FLAWED legal system. As Warden Norton infamously said - more walls, more bars and more guards.

Thanks Ahmed for presenting the truth! Hoping NJ's legislators will wake up and start presenting real "common sense" measures as opposed to "nonsense" feel good measures..... they spoke in Trenton of the majority of New Jerseyians being in support of the proposed new legislation, yet the over whelming majority in the room expressed concern after concern and questioned time and time again how these measures will curb the problems - no answers were given. Citizens making sense were cut off from speaking at 2 minutes or less, those in agreement were allowed to ramble on infidelity.... I do give kudos to the woman on the panel, her name avoids me at the moment, for standing up to Mr Mainor and his strong arm tactics!

Great article Ahmed! I think you make a great point when you mention that the the bills introduced only serve to ease those who don't own guns and make the politicians look "good" in the public's eyes. A criminal will find a way to get a weapon, no matter what the existing laws are. Criminals are criminals for a reason - they commit crimes and do not follow the law! So those that are really affected, are the responsible gun owners who already obey the law and will now have to jump through even more hoops to enjoy their 2nd amendment right.
Another great argument - the media. The media will only focus on the negatives of a topic, especially if it is the current trend - as with gun related issues in almost every story within the news today. You will NEVER hear about how someone's life was saved because they owned a gun, especially now.
I honestly believe that non owners of guns, underestimate how difficult it already is to obtain a FID in the state of New Jersey. If people did their research about the process, they might have a better understanding of the current limitations, before calling for more restrictions.

Well said Ahmed. I think the behavior of Assemblyman Mainor was abhorrent. He and the majority of the committee members were both ill-informed and uninterested in the burdens these bills will place on law-abiding citizens. They'd rather attack lawful gun owners as if they were the criminals, rather than trying to solve the problem itself.

Great Article Ahmed. Thanks for highlighting the blatant disregard for the people, the constitution, and the process. These self serving politicians can't seem to get it through their heads that this proposed legislation will do nothing for public safety. Criminals are criminals and therefore act like... yup, criminals. They do not follow the existing laws or any new proposed laws. Allowing criminals to plead down to a lesser crime instead of the real crime of having an illegal fire arm is the problem. Mental health issues are the problem. Corrupt self serving politicians are the problem, but they will be dealt with on Election Day, don’t worry. Allow concealed carry in NJ instead of further limiting and demonizing legal firearm owners.

Living through the worst natrual disaster made me realize that police will not always be there to protect us. For seven days I had no phone or electricity, luckily food was not a problem but I had never made plans for safety. What if there is no power or services for a month? When will gangs start roaming the street in search of food? When will they knock on your door? These questions I had never asked myself. In the situation we just lived through thete was no available help and ypu canonly rely on yourself to provide security to your family in that situation.

1. There should be periodic automatic background checks of people who already own firearms so that they can be confiscated when then people fail the background check.
2. How do you ensure that a person who buys a firearm legally does not give it to somebody who would have failed a background check. Just wondering if there could be some sort of technology in these firearms which would ensure that the firearm would discharge only if the person whose background check resulted in the purchase of this firearm pulls the trigger. In all other cases it just would not release.

Two great points BR Parent and I am not far a way from supporting your ideas. I agree that there should be some sort of organized process and a way to insure that everyone stays on the safe side however, our politicians do not agree and would rather enforce whatever laws that sound good on paper but ultimately defeats the point. I think that if both sides sit together as we are trying to do here and discuss the best methods, we can come up with realistic measures that would save innocent lives, sto criminals form getting their hands on firearms and save the 2nd Amendment all at the same time.

I am happy to see all of the support for this article, people using their minds to really express what is happening and discuss the matters. I have been finding in my own discussion with coworkers and friends, the non-gun owners, that it seems those who are on the side of more intense gun control matters feel so strongly that they refuse to listen to my side of the debate,but immediately defend why guns are bad and that is that. They do not understand why I enjoy target shooting and own a gun. They themselves have never been near a gun and find it ridiculous that anyone would want to do so. So right away they turn to all guns should be illegal. Some go as far as to compare shooting for sport to turning nuclear bombing into a sport if someone thinks it is fun. There is purely just fear due to lack of knowledge and negative media/news hype. I hope that more articles and discussions by Ahmed and others continue and allow people to let their voices be heard and provide knowledge to those who are interested in being educated on all sides of the gun debate.

9:35 pm on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
I did, and I will. Thanks Nathan Ale is my real and legal name, I'm not really worried about it.
Ok so a few questions based off your post here, you said "military style high powered 100 round magazine weapons".
- My first question is, since only the Colorado shooting was using a 100 round magazine can I question the validity of that stab at a "magazine"? I mean if its only used once its doubtful that its some kind of epidemic in serious need of legal action.
- My second question is What do you consider a "military style high powered 100 round magazine weapons"? What do you consider to be a military style weapon? Sure not an AR15, no military in the WORLD uses them. The inner workins are different, they are not the same weapon. Sure if you wanna say they both use Gas Power or Piston power to re-load the chamber then ok you have a similarity. The same thing can be said for a Benelli MR1 (http://www.kygunco.com/prodimages/26051-DEFAULT-L.jpg) If you conside that a military style weapon because it uses a gas power/piston chambering system then Lemme post another variant of the MR1 (http://www.armeriapancho.com/imagenes/RIFLE-BENELLI-ARGO.gif)
This is the same gun, but this looks more.. Hunter like I guess? So I don't understand your statement, I will have to label it un-educated and lacking validity.
Now You make a Good Man with a gun vs Bad Man with a gun reference, You say we want to answer violence with violence. Its a viable solution, but the last solution.

9:35 pm on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
(CONTINUED)
If firearms were not appropriate deterrents/hostile situation ending devices all police would not carry firearms, Swat would not employ snipers...Infact statistics show that when confronted by armed resistance most mass shooting perpitrators kill themselves or stop shooting. Look that Fact up.
You now wanna say I have an inferiority complex, I find this comical and stereotypical of everyone in the gun community. I am not compensating for anything and you wanna draw topic towards small genitalia or like a lack of self-esteem you better find easier and more relevant targets.
Now as far as Firearm owners in General.. we do not sit here on this kind of platform and call you names, or make generalizations about your side of the argument. I find that to be an ignorrant and un-educated status and will shy away from it. So as I land my final punch for this round I wanna encourage you...
In these arguements the Statistics are NOT on your side.
History is NOT on your side.

But because of the Jersey air if you touch a gun it will make you a madman who will start shooting up everything with-in your sight. Oddly, there is only one way to stop that, and it is a policeman’s uniform. Yes, for some reason if a policeman is carrying a gun in NJ the madness won’t attack his brain and make him go nuts.

The Reality of the Situation
11:38 am on Thursday, February 21, 2013
"Another proposal would prohibit anyone on the FBI’s Terrorist Watch List from obtaining a gun permit."
Steart, being on the FBI's terrorist watch list is not the same thing as being tried and convicted of a felony. In this America, we are INNOCENT until proven guilty. Just because a goverment agency has increased their surveilance of a few individuals, doesn't mean they lose their Constitutional rights.
Stewart, it's not the goverment's role to step all over other peoples' Constitutional rights to make you feel safe and secure like you feel when you're spooning with boyfriend at night.

Mr. Situation… Steward does not believe in the Constitution of the United States, except for the parts that benefit him. So you see while he enjoys the freedoms found under the presumption of innocents (as granted by the 4th, 5th and 14th amendments) and he can walk about without fear of being arbitrarily arrested, he doesn’t believe you or anyone else he disapproves of has that very same right.
That is the root of how all liberals work. They believe they are the anointed few who should have power and control over our lives, to make their lives better.
Socialism isn’t for the people, it is for the socialists.

Steward – Can you name two famous figures who anonymously published texts?
I can -- Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine.
In fact many a learned man and patriot have strongly, no make that "manly like," defended the right of anonymously speaking, and I personally believe anonymous speech is as much an integral part of our society, as my rights to carry a gun.
However, Mr. Steward Resmer, if you wish to use your name, I won’t stand in your way! As I wish you would do the same for my rights too!

I think everyone needs to get back on track. There's some good intentions on both sides, however...it's clear that the vast majority of the crime both new and repeat offenses are committed by gangs. This is where laws need to be applied regarding weapons. I enjoy and have no problem owning shotguns, rifles and handguns for sport, recreation and defending my family and property. I do, however, have to wonder why people feel the need to own AR 15, replica M16 and AK47 as well as clips capable of holding over 10 bullets. It's just me but that's a little crazy! I think it's time for a state wide vote. Ask the people of NJ what they want? Either way my feelings are that we need to make it impossible for gangs to obtain guns! Keep the members in jail and have the criminals pay for their own incarceration! Make them go broke! Just my two cents folks...

I think Stewart spends his time looking for an ORAL fight by insulting others. You are perfect example of what an ignorant, radical person behalve like. You do not seem to be able to have any conversation without directing insults to people or patronizing them...Let me educate you a little. First you need to hear the other side of an argument. Then you need to think about it without any prejudice and look up the facts. After that, you can argue the truths and explain your thoughts. This is called a mature, adults, intelligent debate. Try it. Who knows, you might actually enjoy it and develop some friends for a change.

You very naive or ignorant to think that your opinion was not subject to an opposing point of view. This is not your Dojo, you are not my sensei, I neither seek your approval nor your favor.
You insult the political process by remarking about Kings and Queens when this is a representative democracy and those representatives at this juncture in America's history have the mandate to reign in the gratuitous violence that has claimed nearly 2,000 more lives since Sandy Hook as you advocate for M.A.D. (Mutual Assured Destruction) something my generation understood when the earth stood still when nuclear missiles were discovered in Cuba. Something that appears to be lost on you today wherein your only answer to violence is even more violence.
You are a demagogue outlier, and of the minority opinion in todays national.discourse

Walter O. Thank you for a great contribution. I agree with you on most of your thoughts and appreciate your classy contribution. Allow me to explain the point behind an AR15 or an AK47. The argument of "who needs an AR15" is being pushed through but no one seems to actually answer it. This is my take on it since I actually own one of those rifles and enjoy shooting more than any other firearm. 200 years ago a musket was basically an advanced weapon for the era and not many people owned them. Today, a Musket is nothing more than a collectible item that most people own for it's history. Today's modern rifles are no longer a bolt action or lever action repeaters, they are semi automatic and accept detachable magazines. However, because the AR platform looks similar to military rifles and new to the market, some people feel intimidated by them. Virginia Tech shooter and the Columbine kids had only hand guns and shotguns and managed to inflict tremendous amount of casualties. So the weapon in it self isn't really the issue nor the capacity of the magazine. The issue is why our kids snapping and going on a shooting spree! I have a theory. Perhaps the media spends too much time talking about those kids and the horrors they inflicted! Maybe the media glorify those monsters and Perhaps that is exactly why they did what they did!!
Walter O.

Ahmed, you're welcome. I'll have think about what you said. However, I believe it's hard to ignore what happened in CT with the semiautomatic weapon and that crazy holding all the large capacity clips. Like everything or most things in life it takes two, and blaming just guns or people won't makes safer. Unfortunately, both need to controlled. I hate saying that but unless we address both we're going to see a lot more of this. Lastly, I think everyone realizes what Stewat is doing...might be best if we all just ignored him and talked about how to make this world safer for all of us.

Wow, Stewart, you are really a sad little man. Totally aside from the gun control issue, you seem to have a problem with pseudonyms on the Patch. First of all, it's none of your business what name I, or anyone else, uses. It makes our comments no less important or timely. Secondly, we tell our children and families to put as little personal information on the Internet as possible. Cyber stalkers are just as real as the one following your daughter. Why the hell would I want some whack job (you come to mind here--if that is really your name) knowing my name, let alone where I live?

3:16 pm on Thursday, February 21, 2013
No John I was being very serious, I mean really after meeting with 250 groups VP Biden articulated the consensus in clear and concise terms. He spoke of the assault weapons ban he authored and how since it expired during the Bushco years. And how nationwide Police report a 37% increase in violent crime where assault weapons were used (despite Ahmeds unilateral study sorely lacking in emperical data).
Biden spoke of the hundred round magazines that are just not justified and the notion that anyone needs assault weapons for any legitimate reason.
He spoke about the shortcomings of National Institute of Health, CDC, and the ability to track gun violence comparing it to the auto industry attempting to suppress fatality data in 1969 just as the NRA and the gop has done.
But take heart, the times they are certainly changing and as Joe says, 20 or 30 years from now future generations will know our deeds as we endeavor to stop the violence, while we give voice to the voices silenced by the carnage we witness daily.

The following day I find a message on my business phone from him asking me to call him back. I was so shocked. This is why we need to have mental background checks.

Where did you go to school? Oh that’s right California, the State that was forced to hand out I.O.Us because it was so poorly managed it actually ran out of money. Did they cut your social studies and history classes? Must have, because you don't even know what form of government you live under!
Hey Steward what are we going to do when the federal government outspends the rate at which all the King’s men and all the King’s printing presses can’t get up – More I.O.Us?
Well when that day comes, and it will, I’d be dam happy I own a couple guns, I just hope I have enough to hold off my very own government, who by executive order has already laid claim to my rightfully owned guns, ammunition, and food stores.

John, Good luck on the carry permit. But here in Jersey if you don’t know the right politician to open the doors for you, you aren’t getting a carry permit.
BTW John. Yes our government does know dam well what is coming in America. Why do you think they are working so hard to take our guns from us? Remember, just like Obamacare, they will be exempt from gun collections too!
I laugh at people like Steward who think they are so smart, but can’t seem this coming.

He may be the jewel theif thinking of expanding into fire arms. I thinking he is in the jewely business and knows who keeps alot of jewelry in their house. He staged his own robbery so he can throw the cops off the trail and make false insurance claim. It would be fun to find out what he does for a living. heheheheh.

N.J. Assembly passes package of gun bills despite Republicans' protest
Governor Christie quoted as being surprised. NJ.com
John O'Boyle/The Star-Ledger TRENTON — The state Assembly wasted little time today approving 22 bills intended to curb gun violence despite protests from Republicans
Among the most controversial of the measures approved was one that would limit the size of ammunition magazines to 10 shells from the current 15 (A1329). Others would outlaw .50 caliber weapons (A3659), create weapon-free school zones (A1387), require background checks for private gun sales (A3748) and require safety training for people seeking firearm purchase permits (A3510).

So when the economy collapses and Chris Christie needs food, it will be easier for the State Police to come to my house and rob me of the food I’ve stored just in case?

Also, I wonder about how intelligent a homeowner who stores $40,000 worth of jewelry in his house, but doesn’t invest in a few hundred dollar alarm is? Hummmmmmm!
To your point, John, about Steward using this forum to learn the locations of guns to steal. Kind of makes sense, particularly now that he seems to be demanding we all use our real legal names and put pictures of ourselves on the Internet. I wonder if this sudden change in his demeanor is brought about because he is under someone’s pressure to “preform?”
I think Steward might be an unemployed stunt man from Hollywood, but I really hope he isn’t a teacher or substitute teacher considering he doesn’t even know this country is a Republic, and not a Representative Democracy, as he said it is. It scares me to think he’d be teaching our children we can change the US Constitution at just the whim of the people, mowing over peoples’ rights, and not as prescribed by the US Constitution in Article 5. If as Shotgun Joe Biden says the politics of gun ownership has changed, then let him be the first to draft an amendment repealing the 2nd amendment, and work to get that passed.

If you have any paranoid schizophrenia symptoms, seek medical help as soon as possible. Paranoid schizophrenia doesn't get better on its own and may worsen without treatment. However, if you're like most people with paranoid schizophrenia, you may not recognize that you need help or that you even have symptoms. This is because your delusions or hallucinations seem very real to you. Family and friends or people at work or school may be the ones who initially suggest you seek help.
Getting treatment from a mental health provider with experience in schizophrenia can help you learn ways to manage your symptoms so that you have the best chance of leading a productive and happy life. If you're not ready to seek treatment, try to work up the courage to confide in someone, whether it's a friend or loved one, a health care professional, a faith leader or someone else you trust. They can help you take the first steps to successful treatment.

Why do you think it is so important for us to post using our real names and a picture, when the fact of the matter is your name and picture here could be as fake as a three dollar bill? It seems to me that you want to know who here are gun owners and where they live. Why is that Steward? What do you have in mind?

Drew,
off topic, but you find this interesting. I went to my daughter's play in grade school this week. The play was strange. It was a about a lion and the lion was the king. It so happens that the boy playing the lion looked like a little Obama. And in the play the others were told to bow to him and then the Lion king would feed them, there was a lot of roaring from the lion and barking of orders. Of course I could not understand all the script from the play due to the poor reading from the kids, but I could not help to think this was a training session for little brown shirts for a future hitler passing out food stamps as long as they behaved. I got the script from my daughter to try and read what the moral of the story was, but before I could finish the teachers collected all the scripts. I found it strange that they had to collect them, because the students had their parts highlighted. Maybe I am paranoid, but i didn't have a very good feeling about this. What is was two women got a grant from the school district to go around all the schools and do this play. The play was horrible and all the kids did was read a paragraph from a script. i don't really see what the benefit was for the kids. I don't know... just saying. it was strange. I would like a copy of the script and who wrote it and who these women are. are they from Acorn or something I am wondering.

Oh look at Steward now. How many times has he flat out denied the existence of the presumption of innocents (4th, 5th and 14th amendments) which also means the presumptions of honesty, but now all of a sudden he wants those protections, and we are supposed to believe Steward because we all know his rights are the righter rights, and his words are the truer true!!!!! BullChit Steward! Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, and g-ddam the man that prevents you from peacefully and without fear of vengeance from expressing it.
But your rights Steward, just like everyone’s else’s STOPS right there, and I’ll be damn if you or any other man on the face of this earth is going to take my God given right and duty to defend my family to the very best of my abilities away from me, under the guise of safety. NJ has the 2nd strictest gun control laws on the books. It is next to impossible for a law abiding citizen to buy a gun in this State, let alone carry it, and what do we have to show for it?

Also, Steward, not all of us live in big urban surrounding with our own police force patrolling outside and just for the record it take the police upwards of 8 - 10 minutes to get to my area if needed. Maybe you can call 911 and have a police car in your driveway in 30 seconds, but in my case that flat out isn’t going to happen.

What liberties of yours have I threatened? You liberty to walk into my house and steal from me, because you know you have forced the government to confiscated my guns, but because you are a criminal you still have yours? That liberty Steward? You liberty not to get shot when you engage in a criminal activity?
BTW, how do you know Drew Wilcow isn’t my real name? Oh that’s right everyone in the world lies except you Steward.

When my children were young and my husband worked a lot of overtime, I would fall asleep on the couch while waiting for him to come home. I had a habit of forgetting to lock the door and he would lecture me about the potential threat of a someone entering our basement while I slept and possibly harming me or our children.
One night I woke up to the sound of someone quietly walking across our basement floor. I found a huge pipe wrench and silently went down the stairs. I snuck up behind the shadow of a man standing near my husbands workbench. Just as I was about to strike him over the head, he turned. I discovered it was my husband, who had returned home while I was sleeping. I could have killed him with that wrench. If I had had a gun I would have shot him before I got close enough to see who it was.
I learned to lock the door and he learned never to let me have a gun. .

Margret, That sounds like a foolish, lying story and toltally illogical. I could pick that story apart into pieces. The story is a lie, it never happened.
if you had gun you could stay clear of the intruder and use your voice to identify the target to be friend of foe. You never shoot a gun without knowing the target. I don't think you are an idiot, but you are trying to make a invalid point by using fake stories. Reply to me if you want me to pick apart you story piece by piece exposing it falseness. it would be so easy to humiliate you.

Margret, it is actually you who is lucky you didn’t have a gun. Anyone who deliberately fires a gun at another human being when their life is not in absolute imminent danger and there is absolutely no other way out, deserves to go to jail for their act. In your case, you could have been rightfully jailed for murdering your husband, if you killed him! Also, I wonder why you didn’t call 911, before you decided to sneak up on the “guy” with the pipe wrench.
Now let me ask you a question. Why should your ignorant act, prevent me from reasonability protecting my family from a drug crazed addict, looking for his next fix by kicking the glass out of my locked sliding door and robbing us while we are home?
BTW, My friend's 72 year old father was accosted by three young punks who stole his wallet, in board daylight in a central Jersey suburban town. If this had been a right to carry State, I wonder if the punks would pick on the elderly, if they had to wonder if they were packing or not?

Oh and BTW way Margret. Given how hard it is for an untrained person to actually shoot a gun and hit what you are aiming at even at fairly close range, my bet is you would have done more damage with the pipe wrench if you swung it, than the gun if you shot it from the other side of the room. Yeap. I’ll put my money on you hitting your husband with the wrench square on the head and maybe even killing him if he never turned around. However, if you shot at your husband from the other side of the room, I bet you’d miss (in fact the facts say you will) and he’d turn around and say honey crap honey what the heck are you doing, or something to that effect.
Sorry Margret, but I have to side with John and stamp your story BS!

Steward – You haven’t answered my question. Is America a Representative Democracy, you say it is, or a Republic?
Hint – I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United State of America ……… and to the REBUBLIC for which it stands!
Here another hint -- The term republic does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, but does appear in Article IV of the Constitution which "guarantee[s] to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government." What exactly the writers of the constitution felt this should mean is uncertain. The Supreme Court, in Luther v. Borden (1849), declared that the definition of republic was a "political question" in which it would not intervene. In two later cases, it did establish a basic definition. In United States v. Cruikshank (1875), the court ruled that the "equal rights of citizens" were inherent to the idea of a republic.
However, the term republic is not synonymous with the republican form. The republican form is defined as one in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, either directly, or through representatives chosen by the people, to whom those powers are specially delegated. In re Duncan, 139 U.S. 449, 11 S.Ct. 573, 35 L.Ed. 219; Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 162, 22 L.Ed. 627.
Hey, Hope that helps!

The main Amendment that tipped the scales from the national government of the United States being a mere republic to being a true representative democracy was the often-overlooked Seventeenth Amendment, which took effect in 1913. Since 1913 the U.S. Senate has been elected directly by the voters, rather than being appointed by the state legislatures. That makes the national government democratic in form, as well as being a republic.
Beginning with the Constitution's adoption, America has been a Republic. But the dominant trend over the last two centuries has been to make it into a democracy as well, a representative democracy, also known as a democratic republic. True, the creation of the Constitution itself was partly a reaction against democracy. In states like Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, the situation was getting way too democratic for the monied aristocracy that had, since the American Revolution, refused to share power with>... ordinary men.

The modern ideological “conservative” engages in magical thinking that those of us who are not of that bent may be unable to understand.
Simply put, their understanding of the basis of knowledge is not the same as ours. It comes from a different place.
To you, as a person who understands science, facts probable represent reality. They are observable. If someone else gathered them, you can probably look them up. A great many verified facts should begin to describe reality, and when these facts are analyzed, what we come up with is a theoretical understanding of what happens in the real world. We can then use that theoretical understanding as a basis to make change happen.
So you start with facts and reach a conclusion about reality that could be called a theory.
To the “conservative”, facts don't matter. What matters is “truth”. In fact, “truth” is the beginning and end.
Once they know the “truth”, all they need do is find “facts” to support it. The “facts” don't even have to support it all that well if there are enough of them.
It is pure confirmation bias.
If they can't find facts, they can make them up. Remember, for these people facts are not real. So they deny our data and create their own on the fly.

You don’t? Good for you too! I don’t care if you own a gun or not. I don’t care what type of car you drive. I don’t care what you eat, or how big of a soda you drink. In fact buddy, I don’t care if you take illegal drugs and engage in homosexual activities, and believe it or not, I don’t even care if you want to build an alter in your backyard to Barack Obama, and worship him 24*7. In fact I say More Power To You, Please Enjoy the Freedoms Hundreds of Thousands of Brave, Outstanding American Citizens Have Laid Their Very Lives Down For.
All I ask of you is the same. Simple right? So now please stop trying to force our government to take my guns, tell me what to eat, what to drive, how much to drink, who to worship, and all the other bull crap YOU wish my government to shove down my Throat.
You see Steward, I believe all my rights and freedoms are granted by God, and can only be granted by God. A government cannot grant rights, they can only prevent you from enjoying them. Read that line again Steward, because you really don’t understand it!!!!

Well here we go again – Steward’s resume claims he is a stunt pilot, on top of being a stuntman, he claims to do stunt flying. The FAA publishes the names and ratings of all licensed airmen; I checked that database and guess what. There is only one person with the last name of Resmer, however his first, and middle names are Delbert Elwin, and the database notes Mr. Delbert Elwin Resmer, is a foreign pilot given American pilot status.
I’m really beginning to wonder just who we are dealing with here. I’m glad I post under an alias, (thank the 1st amendment for that) because I really don’t want living ghosts like Steward Resmer knowing who I am, as they always tend to be dangerous people.

There are no stunt flying jobs in this area. The closet thing to a stunt flying job is pulling gliders or parachute rs, and that doesn't pay anything. There is flying shadow traffic or flight instructing jobs nearby but those are also below poverty level jobs. He probably owns an acrobatic airplane, but doesn't make any money with it. he could be a corporate pilot, that draws a decent salary in most cases. But there is no need for steady stunt pilot work in this area. i quit flying because there was just not enough money in it.

You are the enlightened one, but can’t accept anyone else’s opinion. So you run for help, looking to get the descending voices silenced. Oh yea Steward, you are a true Patriot. NOT!!!!!
People like you don’t deserve the freedoms you are given. Regardless, I’d still stand by your side and defend your freedoms with my life if I had to if someone tried to take them from you.

Try looking at the kids doctor for the prescriptions. or the pharmaceutical company or the dead mother! Nothing has to be done to the constitution. I know you feel bad about the kids, just like I do, but grow a freaking brain and a dash of intelligence and put the two together. There will be more attacks on citizens. You can count on this.

John, Everyone including you is entitled to their opinion. Right or wrong. No shooting from the hip (by the way bad choice of words.). I've owned guns for over thirty years and have really thought about this. I also have worked in the pharma industry for the same amount of time. It's nice to blame everyone else or things for what happened, I guess it's human nature.. However, even if we all carried assault weapons on us 24/7, I gotta believe this would happen again. I also believe that when the 2nd amendment was put paper, nobody thought citizens would use their guns to kill innocent children. Think about that before insulting someone else's opinion. I don't want my guns taken away, I just don't see the point in owning semiautomatic weapons with extremely high capacity clips.

I did notice that. I thought he just blocked me for some reason. Why is that?

Steward is pulling a Whoopi Goldberg & Joy Behar act. Can’t defeat the facts, so he’s walked off the stage. Real American Heroes aren't they all?

Here’s is an interesting twist!
Gun-friendly states woo firearms makers
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, this month has written at least 13 manufacturers in states from Oregon to New York saying his state would not impose "unwarranted government intrusion into your business."
"Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., has written manufacturers in New York and Colorado inviting them to relocate. Idaho economic development officials and Mississippi's Republican speaker of the House also have written similar letters."

Texas is the state I am looking to flee to. The only thing stopping me is the wife Loves NJ for some reason. Well she likes being near the family. I hate every communist second I spend in this state. thank god I travel 80% of the time just so I can get out of here. I went into the town the other day to inquire about putting a shed on my property. They handed me a packet an inch and half thick. I pushed it back to him and said,"no thanks" and walked out. I could see that the packet was going to cost me a tonne of money before I even broke dirt. No wonder this place is going no where fast. a shed for godsake.
