Now N.J. Democrats want to go after the NRA and gun-friendly states
Newark Star-Ledger ^ | April 15, 2018 | Matt Arco

Democratic lawmakers want to take the state's tight gun control laws and expand them outside of New Jersey's borders.

There's new legislation that would ban state-sponsored travel to any states that don't require their residents to obtain a permits before they purchase a firearm.

The goal is to send a message to the National Rifle Association, said State Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, the bill's sponsor.

"Fighting the NRA on the basis logic and rational thinking has not worked," Weinberg, D-Bergen, said. "So I think the thing that might work is fighting them with their pocketbook."

But killing children in the womb is okay, right NJ Democrats?

Didn’t California try this... then backtracked when a collegiate sporting team could not attend an out-of-state bowl game? I think they side-stepped that, but it does show the potential for embarrassment this kind of feel-good legislation creates.

And the rest of the country fondly says to NJ, “Piss off!”

Considering NJ’s tax rates, if they are spending any state funds to send state employees out of state it is too much.

True, and this is probably the first and only thing that I'll ever agree with Loretta Weinberg about.

But IMO it is not very likely that this bill will happen.

NJ State employees and teachers just *love* their trips to Disney World for conferences at the taxpayers' expense. A few phone calls and the bill will disappear down the memory hole.

Jersey is full of people from out of state driving to the Jersey Shore. In other words, out of towners.

Like California with LGBT crap.
= = = = = = = = =

‘They’ all like to go after the ‘gun friendly’ states and when one questions or complains about same sex marriage etc, ‘they’ claim Sovereignty.

What about ‘our’ Sovereignty when it comes to following the Constitution.

I have often said maybe the ‘wording’ in 2 is ‘iffy’ for today, it definitely more clearly gives ME the right to bear arms than ALL the others give the ‘right’ to burn my flag or kill a baby in the womb.

“Is everybody in NJ brain-dead”?
Not me.
But on second thought maybe I am. After 77 years here we have had about enough. Maybe we will move the three hundred yards across the Delaware River into Pa. but they seem to be catching up to us in the crazy dept.

I’m good with this.
Every state that still loves freedom should retaliate and ban state-sponsored travel to Commie Pinko NJ.

New Jersey and San Francisco are convinced that everyone else is fascinated by them.

The leftist areas are the shiathole areas like north Jersey, Trenton, Camden, Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Pleasantville. South Jersey is more like Alabama then New York, my commented that he sees more confederate flags on people’s trucks, houses, trailers then you do down in the southern states. The state is not pure by any means.

Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic, Cape May counties are the areas you would visit anyways, those are also the more conservative areas and are actually really nice.

The old joke was that NJ placed the refineries, airports, seaports, garbage dumps, power plants, factories, across the Hudson to keep the New Yorkers from migrating here...

I am originally from New Jersey, and now living in Texas. I have absolutely no intention of going back to Bleepin Joisey. Texas is home, I love my freedom in Texas.

So this isnt too smart. How about anybody that believes in the 2A never to or buy anything made in or sold by a Nj company. No tourism either, but who wants to actually go there?
