The statement that we want some to go to jail and others to be forgiven isn't true nor is it the point.
The point is that gun laws are bad, penalize good people and these are both examples show they negatively affected other wise law abiding citizens. (some just more than others)
In this woman's case, there were 4 options:
-officer could have let her go with a warning and good information
-they could have let her go as amnesty was still in effect
-they could have put her in PTI, pre-trial intervention
-send her to trial and minimum 3 years time with no reduction
This same group just let a football player enter PTI after beating his girlfriend unconscience in an elevator. He will not have a record if he completes the conditions.
They are sending a clear message.
If you have a gun or even hollow points without a gun, you are worse in the eyes of NJ law than a man who beats a woman senseless.
My take away is to stay away.
