No one turning in magazines.
TRENTON, New Jersey (PNN) - December 19, 2018 - Unless you’ve been under a rock lately, then you’ve likely seen the unprecedented push by all levels of government to separate law abiding Amerikans from their guns. No, this is not some conspiracy theory. The president himself ushered in a new level of gun control doing what his liberal predecessor even refused to do by banning bump stocks. However, as states across the country seek to limit the ability of innocent people to defend themselves, people are disobeying.
In May, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed a law that reduced the maximum capacity of ammunition magazines from 15 rounds to 10. Citizens immediately sued the government, citing the unconstitutional nature of the ban, but they failed.
“New Jersey’s law reasonably fits the State’s interest in public safety and does not unconstitutionally burden the Second Amendment’s right to self-defense in the home,” the court wrote in its decision. “The law also does not violate the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause because it does not require gun owners to surrender their magazines but instead allows them to retain modified magazines or register firearms that have magazines that cannot be modified.”
This month, citizens were given a December 11 deadline on the new ban on standard capacity magazines. The law effectively turned one million law abiding gun owners into criminals, literally overnight if they failed to turn in their magazines.
Somehow, New Jersey lawmakers thought insane individuals who want to carry out mass shootings would be lining up to turn in their 15 round magazines as anyone caught with one of these banned magazines is now committing a fourth-degree felony. However, even the law-abiding citizens are choosing to disobey - and that’s a good thing.
According to Ammoland.com, who says they spoke with multiple terrorist pig thug cop departments throughout the state, no one has turned in magazines.
Two State terrorist pig thug cops, who spoke to AmmoLand on condition of anonymity, told AmmoLand News that they both do not know of any magazines turned over to their agency, and doubted that any were turned in. They also stated that the State terrorist pig thug cops also engaged the AG’s office for guidance on how to respond to inquiries such as ours. They were unaware if the Attorney General has responded to their request for guidance.
All the local terrorist pig thug cop departments that AmmoLand contacted stated they have not had any magazines turned into them.
AmmoLand has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with The New Jersey State terrorist pig thug cops to get an official count of the number of magazines turned in by New Jersey citizens.
This act of disobedience is the only way that law-abiding citizens can effectively and peacefully fight back against gun grabbers. So far, it has been effective.
We’ve seen similar acts of disobedience from other states like Illinois. In Effingham County, Illinois, the town board voted in April to order its employees not to enforce any laws that would “unconstitutionally restrict the Second Amendment” to the Constitution.
Effingham County State’s Attorney Bryan Kibler said the measure is meant to act as a warning shot to tell the State legislature that the county does not want unnecessary gun control measures, or for the sale of firearms to be jeopardized. The resolution states:
“The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms is guaranteed as an Individual Right under the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and under the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and; the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms for defense of Life, Liberty, and Property is regarded as an Inalienable Right by the People of Effingham County, Illinois, and the People of Effingham County, Illinois, derive economic benefit from all safe forms of firearms recreation, hunting, and shooting conducted within Effingham County using all types of firearms allowable under the United States Constitution.”
Board member David Campbell said that the county “decided it’s time for someone to take a hard stand.” Indeed, rights are preserved and gained when good people make a stand and refuse to obey bad laws.
