Where the Hell is Heller?

NRA/ILA email de jour:

Jeez, that didn’t take long. It was only a couple days ago that this stinker was even introduced. I guess it was golden as written, and hardly needed any changes or debate.

Please Contact Your Assemblymembers Today!
Today, Thursday, June 12, the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee passed A2116 by a vote of 5-1.

As passed, the legislation will ban virtually all firearms over .50 caliber. While the Committee attempted to address some of the concerns of gun owners and sportsmen, it still bans many popular hunting guns, historical American firearms, and large bore target firearms, based on alleged public safety concerns.  Included are historical American firearms and replicas, including those from the Revolutionary War and Civil War eras. The legislation makes the fundamental mistake of banning guns based on the size of the barrel rather than punishing criminal behavior.

Proponents of the ban attempted to demonize a whole class of firearms and their owners by claiming the only intent of these firearms is criminal misuse. Testifying before the committee as legal and technical experts of .50 caliber firearms were NRA Board Members Scott Bach, Bob Viden and John Burtt.

Please call and thank the lone opponent of this legislation, Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande (R-12), at (732) 866-1695 and thank her for her efforts in defending New Jersey’s sporting and firearms heritage.  Also please immediately email, call, and/or fax your Assemblymembers and respectfully urge them to oppose A2116!

Because we all know that terrorists and gang bangers are out there shooting down airplanes with muzzle loading black powder muskets. “the only intent of these firearms is criminal misuse”. What a load of whore shit. I own a black powder revolver. While it’s fun to shoot, the damn thing takes nearly 8 minutes to load. No let’s consider how many thousands of otherwise law abiding people who would become criminals because of this bill. Every family with great grandpa’s rusty boomstick in the attic or over the fireplace. Every restaurant with a colonial past or motiff. They all have old guns hanging up too. Bada bing, instant criminals.

This is death by incrementalism. First they ban the really large caliber stuff. Then they ban the regular large caliber stuff - because, you know, there is only 0.049” difference between a .50 and a .45. And only 0.091” difference between a .50 and a .40 (which are actually .409"). Then they go for the middle calibers. What a dose of crap. Fuckin communists.

Introducing the new Drew Jersey bill A0001: A bill to ban the government of New Jersey, because the only intent of this government is criminal misuse.

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.
