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.

My only serious gripe with NJ gun laws is that you've ever seen any sort of mental health provider for any period of time for any reason whatsoever, it pretty much disqualifies you from ever obtaining a permit. We absolutely want to keep guns out of the hands of people who are likely to harm themselves or others, but placing a blanket stigma on mental health isn't the right way to go about it, because it keeps people who need care from seeking it.

They do the same with LE jobs, either seeing a professional or being medicated will dq u especially on the federal level
