"Father" still implies a relationship beyond the mating behavior. Source of male DNA is probably a better term.

I hear you. In the PRNJ, we need the FID AND a pistol permit (good for 90 days) just to purchase a Crosman .177 air pistol. That's if you can even find one for sale in the state.

New Joisey has background checks for firearms, ID cards and pistol permits out the whazoo. There is effectively no CCW permitted for proles in the Peoples' Republic of New Jersey. Yet we still have world class killing fields like Camden, Trenton and Newark. Go figure. Despite all of the above restrictions, NJ Ceasefire still is not content with our level of regulation.

I read an opinion piece today in my local Peoples' Republic of New Jersey rag. The woman was arguing the Gov. Christie should institute "common sense" gun laws in New Jersey. This clearly shows that there is no limit to what the gun grabbers desire short of absolute disarmament. A NJ firearms owner must have a Firearms ID to purchase or transport any weapon. All transactions are recorded by the state. An additional pistol permit is required to purchase each and every handgun. Pistol ammunition cannot be purchased by mail. The Clinton assault weapons ban is still in effect for NJ residents and magazines are limited to fifteen rounds. Yet the writer of the piece argues for even MORE so-called common sense laws.

Anything to feed the security-military-industrial complex that diminishes our liberty and vacuums up our resources like a Hoover is preferable to Ron Paul's crazy ideology. Cripes, what would you rather spend money on, something stupid like improving America's crumbling infrastructure or bombing and rebuilding Third World toilet bowls over and over again?

Cambermeister, So you blame libertarians, throw your support behind unenforceable laws and greater encroachment on liberty just because Obamacare was passed. Now you're in a snit and lashing out at the very people who believe in limiting federal power, right, you little statist fa*got?

So scrawls our resident Townhall apologist for institutionalized propaganda and child abuse aka the public school system.

Then it would be the equivalent of virtual residence in the People's Republic of New Jersey, no matter in which state you physically live. Welcome to my Hell. Thankfully, I purchased a second home in a rural free state to which I can escape in another year or so.

There are a couple of states (PA for one) where you can make a face-to-face private sale of a rifle or shotgun without going through an FFL holder or background check at a gun show. Based on my limited observation while attending shows, it's looks like a small percentage of total sales. If a particular state allows private transactions, they can take place anywhere. The gun show just brings enthusiasts together in one place.

FlamingRedAssLoony, You seriously can't differentiate between laws against a passive behavior like firearms ownership and restrictions on an active behavior like physically attacking someone or stealing another person's property? Why do you hate liberty and love the government so much? The government is not society. Why do you fear your neighbors so much? Do you want to give up all of the freedoms that we previously experienced just for the illusion of feeling safe?

Sovereign immunity puts the idiots in government agencies beyond the reach of someone seeking legal redress for the destructive things they do. “Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss.” - "V for Vendetta"
