NJ Governor Corzine is a fool

Late June, the story that got no press whatsoever:

One-Gun-A-Month Heads to Governor’s Desk

In the wee hours of Friday morning, June 26, Governor Corzine and his anti-gun cohorts in the New Jersey State Senate vote 21 to 15 to pass S1774, a bill that will arbitrarily ration the sale of handguns to one per month. 

Earlier this year, S1774 was pulled from the Senate floor when the sponsor was unable to garner the necessary 21 votes for passage.  This time, taking orders from Governor Corzine, Senator Fred Madden who previously voted “no” and committed to hold firm in that position, switched his vote at the last minute and voted “yes” to ration the Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms.

As passed, this bill will prohibit an individual from purchasing more than one handgun within a 30-day period.  The bill now moves to Governor Corzine’s desk for his consideration. 

The only “good” news is that not a single Republican voted for this ladel full of diarrhea. But the Dems have them outnumbered here, by far. So time goes by, the few that knew about the vote have a chance to cool off, maybe even to move out of this idiot state ... and this past Friday ...

New Jersey will become the fourth state in the nation to limit handgun purchases to one every month. Gov. Corzine signed the controversial measure into law yesterday.

Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer joined Corzine and called on Pennsylvania to become No. 5. The law, which is aimed at slowing gun trafficking, would make life safer in New Jersey and neighboring states by fighting trafficking, he said.

“I just hope Pennsylvanians would make it safer for us by passing this bill,” Palmer said at a ceremony outside Trenton City Hall.

The law aims to impede “straw purchasers” - people who have clean records and buy guns legally, then pass them to criminals. The law will take effect in early January but could see some changes before then. A task force is reviewing its potential impact and will make recommendations this fall.

They could call me, or any other citizen actually in touch with Planet Earth. It ain’t gonna make a tinkly-wink of difference. Nada thing. And they’ll go right back to blaming everything on Pennsylvania, and putting the squeeze on from our side of the Delaware River. Let’s hope PA is still part of America, and stops listening. Well, the ghetto turd government in Philly loves the idea, and will probably pass it as a new law all on their own again, like they do with every idiotic gun law they come across every year anyway, causing the PA State Supreme Court to tell them to take a flying fuck at the moon, AGAIN. They don’t quit with the shit. Ever.

There may be a bit of a loophole. “Collectors” are exempt, and an amendment may be written to exempt “competitive shooters”. Guess I’ll have to become both. Then I’ll have to get enough income together to even afford more than one a month. Hell, one a YEAR is more than I can actually afford. Good thing I already have a bunch.

At least the newspaper had the decency to print one dissenting opinon, and it’s a good one:

Critics say the law would impinge on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens in New Jersey, which already has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation.

“Trying to reduce gun crime by rationing guns to law-abiding citizens is as absurd as trying to reduce drunk driving by rationing cars to non-drinkers”, Scott Bach, president of the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, wrote in an e-mail.

Efforts to enact a similar law in Pennsylvania have failed, and Philadelphia saw its one-handgun-a-month ordinance struck down in court.

New Jersey sucks. Jon “seatbelts” Corzine is an elistist left wing idiot. The average clod citizen in NJ is a drooling moron.

Tomorrow night we’re going over to listen to listen to Steve Lonegan rail about Cap & Trade. Not that it will make a difference. Our country will get strapped with that bullshit too. But it will be nice to listen to a politician speak for more than 10 minutes without having the urge to throttle him.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
