My Goodness, MyCentralNewJersey.com Really Should Get the Facts Straight
Editorials are fine when the writer argues with points. But when the writer of an editorial just spouts off nonsense it should fall into something that isn’t even defended by the First Amendment of our constitution, namely “DANGEROUS SPEECH.” Case in point, this argument of the “facts” of gun laws on the MyCentralNewJersey.com Web site:
“The Second Amendment was written as follows: ‘A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.’
“I cannot see how these words mean that there should be ‘gun shows’ where anyone can buy an Uzi, a missile launcher or any other weapon that our military uses. Why has our government allowed so many guns to be in our country? There were over 9,000 murders by shootings in our country last year. In England and other countries in Europe the number of murders by shooting in all these countries totaled less than 50.”
Attention New Jersey Criminals:
It is now illegal to purchase your handguns in bulk from lawful firearms dealers.
That’s the message Governor Jon Corzine is sending to the bad guys in “The Garden State,” He just signed a bill that bans “bulk” handgun sales. Here’s a news flash for you Governor; the criminals could care less. They don’t buy handguns from legitimate dealers consequently the laws is useless.
Well it’s not totally useless. It certainly hurts one element of New Jersey society, that being every law-abiding citizen who may wish to purchase more than ONE handgun in a 30-day period. Jon Corzine believes that any number higher that ONE is “bulk” and it is now illegal in New Jersey to buy more than one handgun during a months time.
