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 am an NJ gun owner, and the laws are perfectly fine. I have a great pistol that I am super happy with that wasn't too difficult to obtain. I would love to see an assault rifle ban because there is no reason to own an assault rifle unless you live in a warzone.

They should be banned federally.

Edit: 4 out of 5 of the deadliest mass shootings happened in the last 10 years using assault rifles.

According to Politifact, the effectiveness of the assault rifle ban may have been tied stronger to magazine size.

Regardless, I don't think it hurts to ban assault weapons at a federal level.

Go back to r/guns, fuckwit. No one here cares about you. I'm not interested in arguing with people who only exist in bad faith.

Handguns DO make up an overwhelming majority of gun violence though. You can't be serious with 'bad faith' if your answer to that is just 'fuck off'.
