Guns will be on the minds, and on the agenda, at tonight's Jersey City City Council meeting, scheduled to start at 6 in City Hall, 280 Grove St.God forbid the council should concern themselves with fixing potholes and the like...
An ordinance to limit handgun buyers' purchases to one per 30-day period and a second measure banning the sale of so-called "Saturday Night specials" are to be considered on second reading.
Meanwhile, these mini-tyrants have the gall to sponsor a "4th of July Freedomfest," and, of course, their constituents will love 'em for it.

In the bygone days of the USSR, a workman described it as,"We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us". In NJ, they pretend to promote freedom, as in the 4th of July celebrations, and the citizens,largely disarmed and unfree, pretend to be free. It's an interesting paradox. Where a great many gritty and savage battles were fought to free us from the slop and slime of royalty, the slop and slime make a comeback, in a big way. The difference between a slave and a free man is the tip of a spear.
The Jersey City ordinance #06-082 only affects Caso's Guns-O-Rama who is the one and only FFL in JC. Caso's has never had a crime gun traced to their store either. Of course we know that this kind of legislation is meaningless but the facts make it incontrovertibly so.
Even City Council President Mariano Vega, Jr. admitted that the gun control, “is feel-good legislation that will probably not reduce crime, but we have to start somewhere, so I am voting yes.”
Freedomfest indeed.
