New Jersey Appellate Court Says Americans Have No Right To Buy Handguns

A New Jersey appeals court has concluded that Americans have no Second Amendment right to buy a handgun.

In a case decided last week, the superior court upheld a state law saying that nobody may possess "any handgun" without obtaining law enforcement approval and permission in advance.

As the article points out, this will probably change once the Chicago case is heard (and won). NJ's constitution has no equivalent of the Federal 2nd Amendment. The MacDonald case will incorporate the second amendment, making it applicable to all states under the 14th amendment.

What amazed me about the case stated (Dubov) was the malfeasance on the part of the judge. The abuses were unbelieveable, even by NJ standards.

Adios,

The same types that voted for O are aligned to vote for Corzine. He will win!
New Jersey is lost! It is a shame. But that is what decades of brainwashing will do.
