It's almost an embarassment some days to have California, New Jersey, Massachusetts and some of the other anti-gun, socialist nanny states as part of the 50 not-so-United States.

Of course, there are good and bad everywhere, and I am not generalizing about the INDIVIDUALS that make up the state, just the in-power politicians and the state governments. Of course, since elections are held, the people in tota are bottom-line responsible.

In a democratic republic with free and fair elections, people get the government they deserve. That's what made America great - and that's what's destroying America.

Also, I am not condoning this man's illegal behavior, or his ignorance of the law. But New Jersey and other locales that have highly restrictive gun laws are penalizing the law-abiding citizens, and making it easier for criminals at the same time.
