New Jersey: Our new gun laws won't do anything, but we are going to pass them anyway...

[2aguy]

The one thing New Jersey gun laws will do......constrict the Right to bear arms for law abiding people....

Criminals and mass shooters...not so much.....

A closer look at push for stronger New Jersey gun laws raises questions of effectiveness

But an analysis of the bills by The Record and NorthJersey.com, plus interviews with experts, show that those three measures are unlikely to have much practical impact, if any.

Other research from Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck suggests that restrictions on high-capacity magazines may do little to slow down gunmen or provide time for bystanders to intervene, at least during mass shootings.

Kleck examined 23 incidents between 1994 and 2013 in which seven or more people were killed and concluded that in every instance, “the shooter possessed either multiple guns or multiple magazines, meaning that the shooter, even if denied [large-capacity magazines], could have continued firing without significant interruption by either switching loaded guns or changing smaller loaded magazines with only a 2- to 4-seconds delay for each magazine change.”

In another report, Kleck noted that 10-round magazines were used by shooters in the massacres at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech.

Kleck said that laws aimed at preventing dangerous people from using any gun, such as universal background checks, are “far more likely” to stop gun crimes than measures aimed at technologies like large-capacity magazines.

Won't everyone feel so much better, though? ...So much safer in schools, malls, at street fairs?

That is what the far left wants, they want to pass laws that make them feel good, to say they did something. Even when it does not do anything.

Remember the line we got from the far left on Obamacare, something was better than doing nothing.

Dear 2aguy Conservatives and Christians should cut a deal to get restrictions:
1. for every restriction put on guns, ask to pass matching restrictions on abortions so it's fair
2. or extend the screening and background requirements for the whole district that wants bans,
where EVERYONE has to undergo Christian spiritual healing to identify treat and cure any
disorders, addictions or mental or physical disabilities that these methods diagnose and cure.

So this is like bringing God and prayer back into schools and districts.
If you want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, then require ALL
citizens to go through screening and therapy for mental and criminal illness.
Then they can't have guns if they are incompetent but would require safe supervision.
All law abiding citizens who are legally competent will have the same gun rights as before,
so this only screens out the criminally ill.
