2nd Amendment is Under Attack!! Fight Back!!

A historic right to carry lawsuit is currently taking place in the state of New Jersey. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC), and 6 plaintiffs have filed suit against several New Jersey officials for deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

The 6 plaintiffs---who are private citizens---had their gun permits denied on the grounds that they had not proven "justifiable need" to own a firearm.

One of the plaintiffs is a kidnap victim, another is a part-time sheriff's deputy, another keeps large amounts of cash in his private business and a fourth is a civilian employee of the FBI who is fearful of attack from a radical Islamic fundamentalist group.

If these people are denied firearm permits, then who can legally own a gun in New Jersey?

New Jersey courts claim that the Second Amendment only applies inside the home. Where is that in the Constitution? "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Where does it say, "only in the home?"

The Attorney General has defended New Jersey's ridiculous existing laws and moved to dismiss the case. It is clear that "SOME" liberals will do anything to limit a person's right to defend themselves---even if it means making up a whole new clause in the Constitution.

Law-abiding New Jersey citizens have been arbitrarily deprived of their ability to defend themselves and their families for years. The law grants uncontrolled discretion to police chiefs and other public officials to deny license applications even in cases where the applicant has shown a clear and present danger exists.

Supreme Court rulings have made it clear that the Second Amendment gives us the right to carry a handgun for self-defense.

What does the State of New Jersey consider a justifiable need? Do citizens need guns to their heads or knives to their throats before they are allowed by the State to protect themselves? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6nBK7Yx2Ig

Bloomberg Launches Driving Campaign For Gun-Control Laws

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, appeared on "Good Morning America" Wednesday to announce a new campaign to raise national awareness regarding flaws the coalition of 550 U.S. mayors sees in the federal system of background checks for firearm purchases.

Displaying a tally of the number of Americans killed with guns since January's Tucson, Ariz., shootings, the "National Drive to Fix Gun Checks" truck will spend two months driving across at least 25 states, Bloomberg said. That includes stops to meet with local leaders, law-enforcement officials and victims of gun violence -- the first in Newark on Wednesday afternoon at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, for an event hosted by Mayor Cory Booker.

"Every day, 34 Americans are murdered with guns, and most of them are purchased or possessed illegally," Bloomberg said in a statement on Wednesday. "It is time for Washington to take action: since the Tucson shooting more than 1,300 people have been killed with guns in the United States and that number continues to grow."

The drive, which began Wednesday morning in New York City's Times Square, will be led by Omar Samaha, whose sister, Reema, was killed during the Virginia Tech shootings in April 2007. Samaha will join a handful of volunteers in collecting stories from people affected by gun violence, which will appear on the campaign's website.

Among the loopholes the gun-control campaign says should be closed: Millions of records are missing from the National Instant Background Check System. The Virginia Tech shooter was able to purchase a firearm because his information was never submitted to the system, and though Congress passed legislation to improve it in 2007, the bill was underfunded and noncompliance penalties too weak. Almost four years later, 28 states and the District of Columbia still have fewer than 100 mental health records in the system.

And in many cases, guns can still be sold without background checks. Although federally-licensed gun dealers are required to conduct checks on prospective gun-buyers, "occasional sellers" dealing at gun shows or other informal venues are under no such obligation under current law.

Bloomberg's mayoral coalition is calling on Congress to ensure that the names of people ineligible to buy a gun (including felons, the mentally ill and domestic abusers) are kept in a single database, and to require that every would-be gun purchaser undergo a background check.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns,... more
