Not to get off subject to much. Fact is that the NJ laws are state laws. States have rights to pass whatever they want as long as the people allow it.

No, they have the
power to pass laws that comply with their state constitution. Once again, a citizen incorrectly replaces the word "power" with "right".
Here is what is in the NJ constitution:
Quote:
New Jersey Constitution Article I, [1.]
All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain natural and unalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness.

I see how this can be a problem for someone who wants to keep and bear arms. I can also see how this may be manipulated by lawmakers and state judges to mean just about anything. The original documents and arguments of the lawmakers who created it need to be examined to determine what this means. Unfortunately, many court decisions ignore original intent and corruption seems to be a way of life in New Jersey government.
