Comments on Bills A.1016/S.101 to Governor Murphy

Governor Murphy,

I am writing you regarding the two recently passed Legislature Bills (A.1016/S.101.) These two laws were sent to your desk for your signature. These two laws are useless since there are no viable “smart guns” available on the market to be purchased. Furthermore, most of the Legislature is under the assumption that regulating firearms through more restrictions on law abiding firearms owners does not affect criminals because as you know, criminals do not follow the laws that are already enacted by the legislature. I respectfully request that you veto these bills and encourage the legislature to work on more common sense firearms laws that will combat criminals and their need to not follow the laws. By enacting such laws, you are punishing those in this state that follow the laws and so things right by following these laws. This is not what this country, nor this state and its constitution were founded on. Why don’t we start enforcing the firearms laws already on the books and start punishing the offenders/criminals who break these laws instead of making deals for lessor sentences and then turn around and enact more laws that punish citizens who follow these laws. This makes no sense to me or any other firearms owner in this state. Since when did we start punishing people for obeying the law instead of punishing those who break them.

Respectfully,

Thomas J. Wilson

Smart Gun Legislation Passed in New Jersey

New Jersey in it’s advance thinking has again shown it’s disdain for firearms owners in the state. Today, both chambers of the New Jersey Legislature passed A.1016 /S.101. This legislation in effect forces the market acceptance of smart guns by requiring firearms dealers to offer smart guns for sale. One would think that if you have to force a business to sell a product, there probably is a very strong indicator that there is no market for the product. Unfortunately, the anti-gun Legislatures in this state are not concerned with facts or evidence.  There are only two other states in the country who have passed this type of legislation, Maryland and California. I wonder why that is. The reasons why this legislation is so laughable is because currently there is not a single viable smart gun available on any market so the time and uselessness of this legislation is only another example of a legislature that is not in touch with reality. In New Jersey we have even bigger problems out there to deal with instead of spending countless time on legislation that, at this time, is useless. These laws cannot be implemented for the simple reason that there are not any “smart guns” on the market. Way to go New Jersey.

In 2002, New Jersey Legislature passed a smart gun law that stated “once smart guns were certified as viable, only the handguns that used the “smart gun” technology would be aloud to be sold in New Jersey. In essence, this is just another way to just ban traditional handguns. Almost two decades later, there are no meaningful improvements in the firearms industry that could or would lead to the production of “smart guns.” All this is doing is making the market accept inferior products. What the anti-gun legislatures fail to realize is that they may be able to force firearm’s dealers to place these “smart guns” on their shelves, but you cannot force firearm’s owners to buy them.

The sad truth to all of this is that this is just another page in New Jersey’s disdain for firearms owners in New Jersey. We encourage all firearms owners to contact Governor Murphy’s office and demand that he veto this legislation since it is so useless. You can only shake your head in disbelief at the great State of New Jersey.

 

Instructor Training

Up to the is point in time, we have been working on getting the business up and running. I am certified through the National Rifle Association to teach Home Firearms Safety and Basic Pistol. I just recently attended a Basic Rifle Class. This class is a prerequisite for the Rifle Instructor Course. This course is scheduled in the beginning of October 2019. At the completion of that course, I will be able to offer Basic Rifle Courses also. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause some who are looking for more classes. As the classes come up and the logistics of taking these Instructor course will allow us to offer more classes to fit specific needs.

Please bear with me as I work hard to get to these Instructor Courses so that we may be better qualified to offer other classes to those of you who are looking to take these courses. I am also looking at the logistics of taking the Refuse to be a Victim On-Line course to be certified to teach this course. I am hopeful to have this course offered by the end of the summer. I am also looking into taking a Hunter Education Course that I hope to be able to offer to Hunters for this up coming hunting season. This course is also an On-Line course. I would like to have this course completed also by the end of the summer. Keep checking back and I will keep the site updated so everyone will know when these courses will be offered.

Lack of knowledge makes for great news

The great news outlet NBC explains to it’s audience how an AR-15 destroys a watermelon. The link is posted at the end of the article. The only problem with this scenario is the firearm that is actually being used in the video is a shotgun. One can tell that it is a shotgun by watching the shot shell that is discharged from the chamber after the shot is taken. What really angers us is that people assume they know what they are talking about and try to explain their knowledge base to others not realizing that there knowledge base is lacking and they are making themselves look stupid. It has always been our philosphy to research a certain subject before claiming to know anything about it. Once you have researched your subject, then you should feel confident in your knowledge base. We assume that everyone is taught this, but when you are more interested in selling news instead of responsible reporting, this is the result.

You would think that a big company like NBC would require that there news reporting would be factual, but watching the video, you can tell that it is not. This is the problem with those who want to take firearms away from Responsible Gun Owners, they think they know what they are saying is true, but their facts are not. If you do not know what you are talking about and do not take the time to research your content, then maybe you should not open your mouth.  I find myself challenging the validity of any information that is reported by the major news outlets, because it is no longer about reporting the truth, it is about the bottom line, money.
