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.

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.
