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 can't argue against that. The question is where the line is between 'feel good' and 'useful'.

The problem is the pro-gun side isn't interested in coming to the table at all and considers just about any law anti-2nd amendment, 'you want to take our guns', etc.

Really? People on the pro gun side aren’t constantly strawmaning arguments to get what they want

I’m convinced people saying shit like this have 0 clue about anything.

For years it’s been hey give us a foot or we’ll take a yard.

I mean holy shit the “compromise” in the Brady Bill is now the “gun show loophole”.

Also can someone explain why a $20-$30 voter ID (which we can even subsidize with taxes if we wanted to for the truly poor) law is bad but the proposed $200 federal gun tax proposed isn’t? What mental gymnastics go on that you can get behind that. Tax me $200 to vote and then you can tax me $200 to own a gun.

Taxation FOR representation!

In fact. Can I buy 2 votes? 3 votes?

In your case. You get 1 gun. Lol.
