Tom recently brought up how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/tomknighton\/2022\/10\/28\/new-jersey-carry-bill-n63738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>a Senate committee voted to advance the measure, as well as it stalling in the Assembly<\/span><\/a><span>, with a full vote postponed. I recently discussed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/john-petrolino\/2022\/10\/26\/gross-stupidity-of-nj-lawmakers-on-full-display-in-carry-bill-n63632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>the flaw in the bill that would have outlawed common items nearly everywhere in the state<\/span><\/a><span>, which the jackals seem to be reconciling.\u00a0 A recent interview with the Assembly bill\u2019s primary sponsor, Joe Danielsen, really puts the icing on the cake on how hubris and or clueless he is. I\u2019m constantly reminded to not confuse ignorance with malice. I think there\u2019s a little of both in the Assemblyman. Not that Danielsen needed any help to make himself sound like a jackass, in my opinion, he outdid himself quite nonchalantly during an October 26th interview, blowing up his motives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The bill (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njleg.state.nj.us\/bill-search\/2022\/S3214\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>S3214<\/span><\/a><span>\/<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njleg.state.nj.us\/bill-search\/2022\/A4769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>A4769<\/span><\/a><span>) is supposed to do what? According to Danielsen, it\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=5637513906286978&#038;ref=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>a commonsense measure that\u2019ll make us all safer<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cAs a recreational hunter, I know that commonsense gun reform doesn\u2019t stop sportsmen like me from continuing traditions that have been passed down through our families for generations. As a father, I know how important it is to keep our communities and schools safe. There is nothing at odds with promoting responsible gun ownership, gun safety, gun education, and gun training while upholding the Second Amendment. I am proud to author this legislation that will strike a balance between promoting public safety and allowing people to exercise their Constitutional rights.\u201d \u2013 Facebook post from Joe Danielsen<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Well, thank the gods that Danielsen went out of his way to tell everyone that he\u2019s a \u201crecreational hunter\u201d. It\u2019s established we\u2019re dealing with a Fudd, as if that makes him a \u201ccredible messenger\u201d here. The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, Fudd. In Danielsen\u2019s quest to make everyone safe, he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FriendsofJoeDanielsen\/posts\/pfbid02CMU1cFcy7gdrue5JQrAHFKESy67ABHh2hCx1eRdPahkyC46jUaA9KBmo5YxXbbtWl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>further espoused<\/span><\/a><span> what the bill is intended to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m proud to share with you that legislation A4769, which I am the prime sponsor of, has been passed through the Assembly Judiciary Committee, and is now referred to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. A4769 creates new disqualifications from the permit process such as past violations of restraining orders, domestic violence convictions, or those experiencing mental health crises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another important component of this legislation is that it prohibits permit holders from carrying handguns in sensitive areas, with categories including schools, government buildings, polling places, bars and restaurants, theaters, sporting arenas, airports, casinos and childcare facilities. This historic legislation ensures New Jersey will have common sense gun safety laws that will keep our residents safe.<\/p>\n<p>Always at your Service,<\/p>\n<p>Joe Danielsen\u201d \u2013 Facebook post from Joe Danielsen<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>During Danielsen\u2019s quest to remove the Constitutional rights from New Jersey citizens, and those who will be from out of state that ultimately end up with NJ permits to carry, he talks about the measure as if there are no disqualifiers in the Garden State to begin with, or federally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Who already can\u2019t be in possession of firearms?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>People with restraining orders.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Those convicted of domestic violence.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>People adjudicated mentally defective.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Pumping up his bill with all those measures is just feel good, do nothing, fluff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Danielsen\u2019s list of sensitive areas, as previously explored, leaves Garden Staters close to nowhere they\u2019ll be able to legally carry. That\u2019s gotta be okay though, because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/new-jersey-lawmakers-gun-laws-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Danielsen assured us all<\/span><\/a><span>, \u201cFor me, as a responsible law-abiding citizen, this bill really changes very little. But for millions, this bill will provide the safety without constitutional conflict.\u201d Isn\u2019t that cute, nothing changes for Danielsen, but the rest of the schmucks in New Jersey are, what? They\u2019re not \u201creasonable law-abiding citizen[s]\u201d? What further safety is everyone else going to get that\u2019s different from the non-change in Danielsen\u2019s own life? I\u2019m happy to hear nothing changes for you comrade Danielsen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Noted the other day by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nj1015.com\/author\/dennismalloy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Dennis Malloy<\/span><\/a><span>, a conservative leaning radio talk show host from New Jersey 101.5, the bill <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nj1015.com\/new-jersey-legislature-is-a-bunch-of-clowns-opinion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>only affects the law abiding<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>The bill being put up for a vote today to the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee is a joke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is an insult to victims of violent crime, citizens concerned about safety and every New Jersey resident who doesn\u2019t want to be at the mercy of violent criminals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>To Malloy\u2019s point, Danielsen pretty much admitted the same during his October 26th interview. The interview <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/franklinreporter\/videos\/496216619057662\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>aired live through the Franklin Reporter and Advocate\u2019s Facebook page<\/span><\/a><span>. Danielsen did a Q and A, and this stunning admission actually came out of his mouth:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>The last thing I want to say to people, and some of my own Democrats have committed to me, a commented that to me, this does nothing [to] stop the illegal gun trade, or the illegal criminal, illegal possessions, or criminal content and\u2026you\u2019re right. This doesn\u2019t. It was never supposed to address that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is addressing the legal, law abiding, responsible citizens. That\u2019s what it\u2019s designed to do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>If anything, this is evidence that Danielsen is purposely trying to usurp the liberties of the law abiding gun owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On these grounds, the full Assembly and full Senate should completely scrap the measure, as Danielsen has admitted the bill never aimed to stop any criminal activity. This member of the party that lauds so-called criminal justice system reform only seeks to add more criminal infractions to New Jersey\u2019s already draconian law.\u00a0 Those added disqualifiers to the bill that are already included in who can\u2019t own firearms, those are to, in his words, address \u201cthe legal, law abiding, citizens\u201d? How so?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>\u201cThis whole, entire bill <\/span><b>is responding to what we believe the far majority of people in New Jersey expect of us<\/b><span> \u2014 that is, to keep them safe. There\u2019s no other, higher priority for me as a legislator than to keep the people of New Jersey safe. That was our target, this bill has got the bulls-eye,\u201d \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.njspotlightnews.org\/video\/bill-advances-to-update-njs-concealed-carry-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Joe Danielsen<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>This bill and these lawmakers are wearing on the patience of New Jersey\u2019s real responsible and real law abiding gun owners. The measure is blatantly unconstitutional for a multitude of reasons, and Danielsen\u2019s (along with the rest of the disgusting swamp creatures\u2019 from the Garden State) generalized fears are not enough to warrant such a measure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The real irony here is that when a NJ citizen tried to get a permit to carry in the pre <\/span><i><span>NYSRPA v. Bruen<\/span><\/i><span> days, \u201cgeneralized fears\u201d were not a sufficient justifiable need to warrant the issuance of a permit. Just as Danielsen\u2019s belief that \u201cthe far majority of the people in New Jersey expect\u201d such nonsense, is also insufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Looking at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-843_7j80.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span>NYSRPA v. Bruen<\/span><\/i><\/a><span>, can Danielsen\u2019s \u201cbeliefs\u201d meet the level of scrutiny that New York failed to meet?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>We conclude that respondents have failed to meet their burden to identify an American tradition justifying New York\u2019s propercause requirement. Under <\/span><i><span>Heller\u2019s <\/span><\/i><span>text-and-history standard, the proper-cause requirement is therefore unconstitutional.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>I think not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Whatever the lawmakers, including Danielsen, who put this measure out were promised by Phil Murphy and the powers that be, I hope it\u2019s all worth it. This just general party solidarity? Or, some \u201cif I become President\u201d kind of wink and nod agreement? I\u2019ve heard the rumors of what happens to any Democrat in New Jersey that so much as makes a peep, semi-publicly breaking ranks, that may seem positive about carry in the Garden State. Those rumors did not sound good. The Democratic party in Jersey is on a crazy train, Murphy\u2019s at the throttle, and somehow Danielsen decided to go along on this unconstitutional ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We\u2019ll continue to cover the madness of New Jersey, in general, and concerning this measure. In the meantime, let\u2019s hope that there are a few Democrats that take their oath seriously, and vote \u201cno\u201d on these bills, and all future gun-control measures. There\u2019s a slight chance some of them have a conscious left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Want to watch the clip of Danielsen telling it like it is?
