A bill has been introduced to fix all the problems with New Jersey’s gun rationing scheme, namely to allow exceptions for retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers, and also to allow exceptions for police, and for inheritance.
The sponsor of the measure is none other than Fred Madden, who is responsible for this mess in the first place. While I appreciate he’s trying, like a petulant child, to wash the crayon of the wall, it’s not going to prevent his punishment from being meted out next election day.
The only REAL fix for this bad legislation should read something along the lines of:
“The law commonly known as the ‘one-gun-a-month’ law, is hereby repealed in its entirety.”
The thing of it is, given the existing permit to purchase system, it’s damn difficult to buy a large number of handguns anyway.
