NJ Lawmakers Wrestle with Ruling

[Lawdog]

After string of legal setbacks, New Jersey lawmakers weigh how to proceed on guns - POLITICO

[Blackwater 53393]

Until SCOTUS puts its foot down and rules that the Second Amendment, in effect, says HANDS OFF, radical socialist states like New Jersey will continue to burden their citizens with onerous and suppressive legislation geared toward making them subjects rather than citizens!!

I'm seeing a grabber focus on Bruen footnote 9. This is the side comment in Bruen which states a presumption of constitutionality to shall-issue schemes, as long as they are not put to abusive ends. This comment was entirely in the context of carry licensing.

 

The grabbers now want to apply this footnote to ownership licensing, with training requirements and anything else they can attach. Then let the courts test to find the edge where the ownership licensing scheme crosses any line of abusiveness. This along with ideas like psych testing, a way to increase costs for law-abiding citizens and reintroduce subjective review into the process.

 

The one idea the grabbers seem to struggle with is actually charging, convicting, and enforcing long sentences on violent criminals regardless of any particular choice of tool.

 

Note: Like in a previous post, this information will not give them new ideas, I found the footnote 9 discussion on a major grabber web site.

But yet they keep going after the law abiding and protecting the criminal thugs. They also don't seem to recognize that all their antics just sell more firearms to the good guys!

Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943)

As stated by the Supreme Court of Illinois in a case involving this same sect and an ordinance similar to the present one, a person cannot be compelled "to purchase, through a license fee or a license tax, the privilege freely granted by the constitution."
