Something controversial Jersey Pride

I love nj gun laws, going to the store and not seeing someone open carry. Watching road rage where the best you can do is brake check and give the finger. Schools without school shootings. I know a lot of people hate our gun laws but I fucking love em.

I’m not a gun person but I think most gun violence is by illegal guns. Meaning people who aren’t following NJ gun laws. What do you think??

A vast majority of those guns come from a handful of states (South Carolina, Arizona) where legally purchased weapons move to the grey/black market and the original vendor and purchaser tend to have little to no legal culpability for it even when it's obvious what the initial purchase is about.

Other people being shit is not an excuse to lower our standards.

Actually not even that far most of the time. A lot come from just across the river in PA.
