“We need the hammer,” said the mayor about the city’s ceaseless pattern of gang- and illegal drug trade-related shootings. [More]Because poor New Jersey just doesn't have strong enough "gun control" laws.
Not that this might possibly be construed as all their idiot citizen disarmament edicts being fraudulently useless at accomplishing their stated purpose or anything...
Give us more of what doesn't work! And federalize it!
Hey, who can really blame them: If that approach is good enough for Vulcan chess masters...

Project Exile?
You really don't want to go there.
New Jersey's 1966 court decision supported a state law which could be considered the predecessor to the GCA '68. The inJustices provided "public safety" as its reason for existence at the time. Yep. Forty-four years of failure.
I would accept just one little baby step in the right direction: an admission that government is unable to solve the problem. Boy, would that clear the air. Then we could discuss the waste involved in harassing and tracking non-criminal "gunnonerz", and then the unethical nature of perpetuating programs with decades of failure because the money's good.
None of this social engineering trash has a track record of success. By process of elimination, it must be about the cookie jar--and there's a lot of hands in the departments of public safety cookie jar.
Ahh, New Jersey...
Toss a guy in jail just for transporting his guns "illegally".

Yes, I know.
If they just declared martial law all at once, some people would be upset. The curfews would ruin Christmas parties.
Project Exile a "statistical success?" Richmond isn't No. 1 in the country for murders anymore, but it still places in the top 10 with an average 130-160 a year. The two adjacent counties, each with populations three and four times as large, have 6 or 8 and 12 to 20, respectively. All use the Exile methods. Thugs laugh.
But the NRA-popularized phrase "illegal gun" hardly gets questioned anymore, and that's their real success, isn't it?
