Corzine to Millions of Honest Gun Owners: You're Potential Criminals and a Threat to Public Safety
nj.com ^ | 7/21/2009 | Scott Bach

Memo to the millions of American citizens who have managed to qualify for government permits to carry firearms: you are "potential criminals," and you are "a threat to our citizens' safety and well-being," even though you have passed criminal background checks and satisfied state firearms proficiency standards. That according to New Jersey governor Jon Corzine (D), who apparently thinks that the path to re-election later this year is paved by trampling the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

I'm starting to revel being called a "criminal" and "extremist" by these Communist freedom haters on the left.

And don’t you dare question Corzine’s competence at Goldman. Or his buddies at Goldman who are picking your pockets clean.

Translation:

“You are difficult to control and pose a threat to unConstitutional liberal political power”

A simple single sentence to these elitist rumpswabs: “The Second Amendment exists to protect people like me from people like you.”

I’m a potential criminal, too. I’ve got fists, haven’t I?

Isn’t everyone, save perhaps the comatose?

Does anybody else find it hard to believe Corzine was in the Marines?

This state's gun laws are the reason I won't get a gun until I leave. Buy a license to buy a gun. The stupidest thing I've ever heard. All the guns I want are banned in the state anyway, so...

It’s amazing how frightened these dems are of the Constitution of the United States and of conservatives in general. Notice how they use words like “security”, “stability”, “change”.......

We're all potential criminals.
I'll bet Corzine has broken more laws than I have.

Unfortunately, a bill pending in the State Senate and up for committee vote 12/8 (S1774) is a bad dose of old medicine. It's a proposal to ration the Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to own handguns beyond the existing regulatory thicket, which already slows exercise of those rights to a trickle. It ignores violent behavior and known sources of illegal trafficking, instead restricting only persons investigated and pre-certified as acceptable to own firearms. Even mainstream media recognize the ineffectiveness of this approach.

This is from another blog entry on the same page as the linked article.
