Notes From HPS

We are told that we are to lock up our guns, “for safety.” We are told that cops (and retired cops) must have unlocked guns . . . “for safety.” How does once having worn a badge make what’s safe for one person the exact opposite of what’s safe for the next?
Expanding this line of thinking, if it’s safer to disarm us completely because, after all, guns are no defense, then the gun control advocate should also be in favor of disarming police. But they never are, because they know guns are a defense. The surest way to disarm (pardon the pun) gun control advocates is to ask them if they favor disarming the police too? When they demur, you can call them a hypocrite.
Sanders’ idea of the “middle” would also ban semi-automatic, detachable magazine-fed rifles–popularly, if inaccurately, referred to as “assault weapons”–and the “high capacity” (gun ban zealot-speak for “standard capacity”) magazines that feed them. This is the “middle”? Sending people to prison for buying the most popular class of centerfire rifles in America is his idea of respecting the rights of gun owners? Prison time for buying an 11-round magazine is the “compromise” he wants to sell us? Outlawing the most useful arms for defense of one’s home, one’s life, one’s family, and one’s liberty is part of the give-and-take he proposes?
Sanders is a communist like all other gun control advocates.
A blogroll addition at WoG. Hey, I just noticed that I’m not blogrolled.
David’s latest at Oathkeepers. I read the whole article, but David’s summation is the best: “Mirkarimi appears to fit that description. Initial charges of domestic violence were plea-bargained down to false imprisonment, allowing him to keep his gun. Not that he wants non-LEOs to keep and bear theirs. Hey, as long as he’s taken care of, why would the pesky Second Amendment and a ceremonial oath to the Constitution get in the way of an agenda?”
Mike Vanderboegh links this concerning someone’s pipe dream over how they define a “well regulated militia.”
1. First of all, assault weapons will be banned except for the National Guard. People who currently own assault weapons will be required to sell them to the National Guard which will distribute them to legitimate military units where they will be used for defense of the country.
2. Anyone wishing to buy a handgun will buy it from a police department. The police department will be allowed to make a profit on the guns they sell in order to pay for the systems’ gun owners’ database. These individual police department databases will be collected into a full national gun owners’ database and maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. Following a background check, the police department will issue the applicant a gun permit.
This person obviously wants civil war.
NJ.com on what it takes to legally transport a firearm into or through New Jersey. I think the writer is wrong and that if you tried any of this you’d be arrested and charged with a felony. Don’t follow this writer’s advice.

“This person obviously wants civil war.” I said exactly the same thing at the original newspaper website, and asked them how many millions and millions dead they wanted.

New Jersey gun law is very simple: You cannot legally purchase, own, or transport a firearm in, into, or through New Jersey (with some exceptions).
I have it on good authority that ALL gun ownership and use in NJ is facilitated by narrowly-defined exceptions to that blanket prohibition. Simply put, you are not allowed to own, transport or use any firearms in NJ … UNLESS you can prove you meet specific criteria (which you do later, as an “affirmative defense”, AFTER you’ve been arrested and charged and your guns have been confiscated).
So no, you cannot legally transport a firearm into or through New Jersey. It’s against the written law. There are a few exceptions, but there’s no guarantee the courts will honor them at any given time (see: Brian Aitken). Much safer to give the place a wide (say, 50 mile) berth.
Speaking of, how is Chris Christie’s presidential campaign going again?

As a PRNJ reszident, I will say gas, and restroom stops have been deemed unreasonable stops depending upon the officer doing the charging.

I would offer that it’s because they know guns are an OFFENSE. They are the nannies, the bullies, the statists, the controllers. Since they intend to control, they need someone to do the enforcing, and those enforcers need guns.
