My Latest broadside against Corzine and One Gun a Month , which was signed today !

In the aftermath of the explosive corruption probe that culminated in the very public arrests of numerous Democrat mayors, legislators, and appointees, Governor Jon Corzine scrambled for any subject to obscure and distract the public from his abysmal failure of leadership.

With the desperation of a rat on a sinking ship, Corzine, with his newly appointed running mate, Loretta Weinberg, at his side, flailed about for any flotation device he could find, and grabbed on to a tattered standby - firearms. On the verge of signing incredibly flawed One-Gun-a-Month legislation that will essentially drive retailers out of business, Corzine and Weinberg announced they had essentially prostituted themselves out to the hoplophobic desires of zealots like Bryan Miller and the Brady Campaign, adopting in wholesale fashion virtually their entire wish list of government-mandated disarmament and punishment of the law-abiding citizens of New Jersey.

Governor Corzine has made no big secret of how much he despises gun owners, as recently as last week inferring that gun owners or anyone else that didn’t agree with his personal views were a threat to society and criminals in waiting, needing only the addition of some type of firearm to go on a homicidal rampage. But personal attacks based on blatant and provable falsehoods are all Corzine has left to play. And straight from page one of the liberal Democrat playbook: when you’re getting beaten badly, resort to invective, insults and lies to hide behind. We’ve all seen that already, in the form of his two latest and patently false attack ads on his soon-to-be successor Chris Christie.

Corzine’s first ad attacks Christie on the awarding of monitoring contracts, presenting the impression that “tens of millions of dollars” were paid by taxpayers, when in fact the companies under investigation paid the tab. In the other ad, he goes after Christie’s appearance at a Congressional subcommittee hearing about those same monitoring deals - hearings, by the way, that were transparently organized by Democrats trying to tear down Christie and pump up Corzine’s rapidly falling poll numbers. The ad comes right out and accuses Christie of walking out on the hearings, when the fact is that Christie had previously arranged, with the consent of the members holding the hearings, that his testimony would be limited in scope and he would need to leave at a certain time to address matters related to his campaign.

But pesky little things like facts, honesty and the truth have never mattered to people like Jon Corzine and Bryan Miller. Emotional rhetoric and misleading the citizenry is the de facto, fall-back, Hail Mary option, and it’s both laughable and insulting at the same time - laughable in that only Corzine , Weinberg, Miller and their other sycophants actually believe the lie; insulting in that the same people, and to a greater degree the media, take the default position that the citizens are too stupid, lazy or ignorant to call their bluff.

With Corzine and Miller one can point to specific traits or events that created their respective mentalities. Corzine’s is simple; it’s politically expedient, it’s an easy target , and he believes in big government and feels threatened by the great-unwashed masses actually having the power of the State in their own hands. In Miller’s case it is even more obvious, but equally sad. Miller lost his brother at the hands of a felon with a gun and is hopelessly stuck in the “anger” stage of the well-known “Seven Stages of Grief”. That Miller was a hoplophobe before his brother’s tragic death is a virtual certainty; after all he once advised a female about to be attacked to scream for help in a public restroom instead of drawing her legally-carried firearm to stop the attacker. But Miller’s psychological condition, combined with his ignorance, elitist mentality, and fawning attention given him by the media makes him a somewhat more dangerous opponent.

When one examines Loretta Weinberg, who is every bit Miller’s or Corzine’s equal when it comes to an irrational fear of weapons, one might conclude that she has discarded or never absorbed her Jewish heritage and its relationship to firearms. After all, it was a handful of Jews with inferior guns and very little ammunition that held off a company of the Wermacht and the SS in the Warsaw Ghetto for over a month during World War II. Firearms smuggled past the British and into the fledgling state of Israel are the reason for that nation’s very existence. Privately owned firearms in the hands of the residents of the only Democracy in the Middle East have also proven to be incredibly effective at stopping or interrupting terrorist attacks on public gathering places. It’s one thing to sell out your morals for the accumulation of power or the self-serving purpose of your own aggrandizement as a substitute for coping with poor self-image problems. It’s another thing altogether to ignore or reject your heritage for personal gain at the altar of political correctness.

The fact is that despite all their public emotional hand wringing over innocent deaths at the hands of violent criminals illegally using firearms, Corzine , Weinberg , Miller and others have clearly demonstrated by word and deed that they care not one iota about sacrificing the innocent lives of citizens by arbitrarily and summarily denying them the God-given right to personal defense . For all their protestations and concerns about stopping violent crime, they are stunningly obtuse about the ease with which profound declines could be realized by enacting real and permanent gun law reform and by recognizing two fundamental truths: one, there is on average a single police officer in the community for every 1700 Citizens and they can’t possibly be everywhere at once; and two, that law-abiding innocent people are often the only ones capable of defending themselves as a crime is committed against them.

A review of the 2007 Uniform Crime Reports from the NJ State Police, the most recent available, shows that a stunning 85 percent of aggravated assaults are committed with weapons other then firearms! Further analysis shows 67 percent of forcible robberies are committed without the use of a firearm. Over 1,000 rapes (one of the most demeaning and psychologically traumatic crimes a woman can experience) were committed in 2007. Ninety-four percent of those rapes were forcible and resulted in an arrest less the 50 percent of the time, further traumatizing the victim. In study after study performed by criminal psychologists and in interview after interview with convicted felons, one unavoidable and immutable fact comes to light time and again. Violent criminals consistently and repeatedly express they are much more concerned about encountering an armed potential victim then they are about a run-in with the police.

Based on this analysis of the three most common interpersonal violent crimes besides murder, one can safely extrapolate that NJ could have an immediate and drastic impact on reducing violent crime by recognizing a citizens inalienable right to self-defense. But acknowledging such inconvenient truths would eliminate the last wobbly pillar propping up the Corzine crowd’s ideology and would sink their ship as surely and finally as the Titanic. Much like that fateful night, the faster Corzine , Weinberg , Miller et al plow ahead on their course throwing all caution and rational thought by the wayside , the sooner they will run straight into an iceberg of facts and an educated electorate that see the dangers of the current path for what it is - a suicidal course that can only end in tragedy and can only be avoided by an urgent course correction . That correction has already started with the ever increasing numbers of citizens who are waking up from their media-induced stupor, realizing they’ve been lied to on a massive scale and rejecting gun control in the largest numbers seen in twenty years .That course correction will be complete this November when the voters set Corzine and Weinberg adrift in a lifeboat, and allow Bryan Miller to go down with the ship.

Thank you for this.

Oh, and thank you Gov C., for making it so easy to make the effort to avoid your state whenever possible, even if that means driving an hour or more out of my way.

I can only wish that somehow NJ and MD's jurisdiction got moved aside and smooshed together, and PA and VA were neighbors.

Actually I TRULY wish that were not necessary and we could have liberty everywhere. I know I am missing out on some good pizza in NJ.

There is fantastic pizza in NJ. Up where I am in Lehigh Valley, it all sucks pretty bad. Also there is some great food in Iron Bound section of Newark. Especially Brazillian Portuguese.

The pizza at Pizza City in Stasburg is not bad - better than just about anything in Richmond in any case, and head and tails above anything within 25 miles of my house

Nope. It's not the toppings, the pizza is absolute garbage.

So what do the polls say about NJ gov race?

I know in VA, the only other gubernatorial race in the country, it started pretty close after Creigh Deeds won the primary very handily, but McDonnel now leads by 15-20 points.

Either one of them will be better than the previous one as far as firearms, but I worry about some of the other issues, and helping stand up for the commonwealth's citizens in the face of the ever burgeoning federal leviathan. On that one I do have to give McDonnell quite an edge.

And so far have not seen a Libertarian candidate. The one they had for US Senate in Virginia last year was a disaster - a Libertarian in favor of "sensible gun control".. just wow.

So with that little update , what is the landscape and the numbers like in NJ at this point?
