Don Petersen “A well regulated militia…” you know, the thing. The thing being the Second Amendment. For countless years, the Second Amendment has been contorted to be presented as some sort of a collective right, or rather privilege. Under progressive and racist polices, a narrative was given going back to before the civil rights movement of the 60’s. Interestingly enough, modern day usurpations of the Second Amendment sprung forth in different areas of the country around the time of the summer of love. By 1968, we all know what happened. New Jersey essentially paved the way for restrictions in 1966 . In 1966, the New Jersey legislature passed An Act Concerning Firearms and Other Dangerous Weapons, which imposed significant regulations on gun buyers and dealers. Two years later, members of Congress frequently cited the Garden State’s tough gun control law as a model for the Gun Control Act of 1968. Although New Jersey’s 1966 firearms law has received little attention from scholars, the battle over gun control in New Jersey marked a significant turning point in the nationwide debate between supporters and opponents of gun control and exposed political fissures that endure today. By the 70’s, New Jersey’s carry permitting scheme shifted from being similar to “shall issue” to being “may issue” and quickly to “no issue” for the regular subjects of New Jersey. There is a new contender looking to take New Jersey’s Unconstitutional carry law to task. Firearms Policy Coalition recently announced the filing of Francisco v. Cooke . The lawsuit was filed by New York-based firm Joshpe Mooney Paltzik LLP on behalf of Daniel Francisco, the president of advocacy organization Blue Star Union , a councilman for Englishtown, New Jersey and former Executive Director at Project Veritas, as well as Ori Katzin, the co-owner of a local interior design firm, a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces, and a certified firearms instructor.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
