New Jersey Senate to Vote on One-Gun-A-Month Tomorrow!
Please Contact Your State Senator Today!

Under the direction of Governor Jon Corzine (D) and with little notice to the public to ensure that New Jersey sportsmen and gun owners were not prepared to defend their Second Amendment rights from gun rationing schemes; the New Jersey State Senate today added S1774 "One Gun-A-Month" to tomorrow's voting agenda.

Simply stated, this bill would prohibit an individual from purchasing more than one handgun within a 30-day period. The state already requires an individual to first obtain a permit to purchase – a process which includes an extensive criminal background check and a minimum of 30 days to complete. This bill, as proposed, is just another step that anti-gun legislators are trying to take to erode our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

If passed, this bill gives anti-gun extremists carte blanche to further hinder your right to purchase firearms. Next it could be one rifle or shotgun per 30-day period or even one handgun per six months or year.

Please contact your State Senator TODAY and urge them to oppose this unwarranted and unjustified attack on our Second Amendment freedoms. Contact information for your State Senator can be found by clicking here.

Since you posted this please explain why I should care? We can't conceal carry here, can't hunt with handguns, so WTF do I need a handgun or need to buy more than one a year, never mind one a month!

I did post under laws and regs. under state laws. Use your head , trickle effect. Think .THINK before you post. you wont make yourself look so ignorant.

Let me explain , They take your liberties slowly. They take this .Then they take that, then this, then that, then this, then that . before you know it your not even allowed to have a knife in your house . nevermind hunting with a bow and arrow or whatever. hope you understand now

I should write a Politics for Dummies book

I was going to post this alert, also. Thanks for posting it John. This bill is against ALL of OUR Second Amendment rights. Any time government takes any freedom from you, there will always be more. You don't want to open the door to other bills expanding on this. Noone has to purchase more than one handgun per month, but don't stop anyone else who does. We are talking about "law-abiding citizens". Gun control laws do NOT keep guns out of criminals' hands...they don't abide by any laws. ALL should contact your State Senators and ask they vote NO and oppose this unjustified bill.

Thanks K

This bill made it! Its sitting on corzines desk. all he has to do is sign it.
