New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense

Once again, the NJCSD is pleased to endorse Scott Bach in his bid to be relected to the NRA Board Of Directors.  Though our two organizations have had differing views on 2nd Amendment issues in times past, Scott is someone who clearly "gets it".  He represents a sea change in thinking at NRA which we have felt was despeartely needed in the years prior to his arrival, and it's our hope that gun owners can continue to benefit from his energy and determination for years to come.  We are asking anyone who has voting rights at NRA to cast your ballot for him.

STARTERS

Theoretical question:
Would a perpetually corrupt, bumbling batch of murderous elitist jack-booted thugs running a bureaucracy like BATFE in charge of anti-rights so-called "gun control" be better for freedom than a highly efficient, well organized, infinitely resourceful J-Edgar-Hoover molded FBI-style federal agency? See the article below about the proposed closure of BATFE, with its duties assumed by the FBI.

Alan Korwin, a/k/a 'The Uninvited Ombudsman' is always entertaining.  We hope to share more of his musings whenever they're available.  Here's his most recent:

 

1- Ghadaffi Still Missing

The lamestream media told you:

Rebels liberated Tripoli, the Arab Spring is advancing, four decades of dictatorship over, Ghadaffi location unknown...

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Aren't those AK-47s the Libyan rebels are waving all around? Where did they get those? Aren't those the guns the Mexican cartels use? Aren't those the guns the BATFE was smuggling into Mexico? Yes, yes, yes and yes.

How did the citizens, called rebels in the "news" media, instead of freedom fighters or some other less rebellious moniker, get so many AK-47s under one of the most brutal regimes known? Could Mexican cartels have the same suppliers? Shouldn't at least one reporter ask? And how come there are so few AR-15s floating around? Isn't it the better gun? Why do the former communist-bloc countries get all the business and American manufacturers don't?

In other news, some observers question whether "Arab Spring" is a proper name, instead of Arab Uprising, or Overthrow of Western-Supported Dictators, or Groundwork for a Global Caliphate. Some observers wondered who these constantly mentioned observers are. The "news" media could not be reached for comment. Who decided that Ghadaffi translated from Arabic has a silent "h" and two "f"s ?

2- Firearm Imports Droop

The lamestream media told you:

Nothing.
After all, it's only hundreds of millions of dollars in business.
This quarter.

Eatontown, NJ --(Ammoland.com)- Evan F. Nappen, Attorney at Law and author of the “NEW JERSEY GUN LAW GUIDE” (www.evanappen.com) is offering a $5000* reward to the first person who can show to Attorney Nappen’s satisfaction the specific New Jersey gun law statutes (N.J.S. 2C:39-1 through 2C:39-16 or N.J.S. 2C:58-1 through N.J.S. 58-19) which authorizes the Plainfield churches to act as “collection sites” in which persons are paid up to $200 in cash with “no-questions- asked” for any type of gun from handguns to “assault firearms” and said guns are then destroyed without further investigation.

(For more information on this “buyback” see the following article: http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20110803/NJNEWS/308030028/Plainfield-religious-leaders-police-gearing-up-gun-buyback-program )

Attorney Nappen knows of no New Jersey gun law statute allowing:

1. the anonymous surrender of firearms;
2. the receipt of surrendered firearms by churches;
3. the unlicensed transport of guns to churches; and
4. the destruction without investigation of guns (which may be potential criminal evidence or stolen property that should be returned to their rightful owners.

He would very much like to include such laws his next edition of the “NEW JERSEY GUN LAW GUIDE”.

New Jersey law provides for the voluntary surrender of firearms only when the person giving up the firearms first gives written notice to the chief of police where he resides or the state police superintendent. Anonymous surrender is simply not authorized. The same law authorizes only the local police chief or the state police superintendent to receive surrendered guns. A church is not authorized under the statute to receive surrendered firearms. (See N.J.S. 2C:39-12.) Also, there is no transportation exemption for such a surrender scheme or bringing unlicensed guns to church. (See N.J.S. 2C:39-6.)

The immunity granted under New Jersey’s voluntary surrender law is limited to unlawful possession only and nothing more. By allowing for anonymous “no-questions-asked” surrender, the buyback program effectively creates de facto immunity far beyond this.

The purchase of firearms in New Jersey is strictly prohibited except for licensed dealers and individuals with a Handgun Purchase Permit or Firearms Purchaser ID Card. All gun sales are recorded and include the name and address of the buyer and seller. A church is not authorized under the statute to purchase firearms, no less from anonymous sellers. The payment of cash for a firearms purchase by anyone other than a licensed dealer or a permit/FID cardholder is not permitted. (See N.J.S. 2C:58-3(a) and (b).)
