Last year our knee-jerk liberal fascists reacted predictably to the Newtown, CT school shooting by enacting some of the strictest gun control legislation in the nation.
Also last year the murder rate in our fine state soared to a seven-year high.
Coincidence? I mean really, how can criminals so easily acquire guns when New Jersey makes it so hard to buy and own them?
Oh, right, criminals don't follow the law.
So naturally the solution is more gun control legislation!
[Newark Police Director Samuel] DeMaio said .45-caliber handguns — far more powerful than the 9 mm weapons once common in Newark — and the proliferation of assault weapons led to the city's increased number of killings.
"If the federal government is really serious about gun control and the violence that's taking place, not just in Newark, but in every city throughout this country, they will get strict and do the right thing with the gun laws," he said. "Make them consistent. … Take the guns out of the criminals' hands."
What he really means, of course, is confiscate guns from the law-abiding citizenry. Because once again, this time with feeling, criminals don't follow the law.
It's like when you geniuses banned drugs. Everything from opium to marijuana to oxycontin is illegal. How's that workin' out for ya?
So what makes you believe banning guns is gonna be any different?
