The ammunition magazine limit bill that earned New Jersey Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll’s ire – A2006 – sailed through the Garden State legislature. It’s currently sitting on the desk of Governor Chris Christie – whose presidential aspirations demand that he veto the measure. Let’s hope so. Meanwhile, kudos to Carroll for telling it like it is: calling A2006 a “public relations stunt.” Carroll gets his gift of gab from his Irish ancestors and his love of truth from his parents, who were both reporters. Carroll has been a consistent conservative voice in the NJ legislature for 11 years, supporting lower taxes, individual liberty and firearms freedom. If New Jersey elected more politicians like Carroll the state would not be the place where gun rights go to die. [h/t Pascal]
I’m curio how long our NFA stamps will take once this gets signed….I imagine there are a lot of people that will be filing.
Voice in the wilderness…
Is that from the bible?
Isaiah 40:3 – “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the L-RD, make straight in the desert a highway for our G-d.”
This is quoted by the Gospels as well.
Did anyone else notice this was posted on Bloombergview.com?
Between this and the article on huffpo this weekend, I’m starting to become interested…

Great speech.
Well said!
Although I obviously respect his views, I fear he is wasting his breath.
Awesome! good job 🙂
Your priority is to not get shot. Moving means that you are less likely to get shot.
Shooting _while_ moving is what you want to do. And it’s very possible to hit a person-sized object at 25 yards if you have practice.
A sword is kinda like a knife, isn’t it?
Apparently, Goliath, must have have been slower than average covering the 21 feet.
And David was carrying Condition 3.
I reload various pistol and rifle rounds, it’s obviously like most liberals you don’t know what you talking about. The 308 or 30 06 rounds and all of the big game hunting rifles have a lot more penetration power than the military rounds from the AK47 and AR15. Civilian semi automatic rifles such as the AK 47 or AR 15 are not “assault weapons” since they are not automatic fire weapons. What the rifle looks like is irrelevant.
Interesting situation. Given that they were on the other side of a fence from you and apparently unarmed, I’ll go out on a limb and assume that right at that point you would not be justified in actually shooting them (not much of a limb, IMO). So, as I understand the provision in question here, you would similarly not be justified in shooting up the nearby tree if some kind of prosecution for “brandishing” or “reckless discharge” or such would otherwise lie. Am I right, Andrew?
I’d need a lot more facts than that to have any kind of informed opinion! And while I’m usually happy to explore various hypotheticals, no time for it today. 🙂

I suppose you were responding to my post, so I will elucidate:
1. I dont live in Florida.
2. Any man, beast or otherworldly entity that attempts intrusion onto my property will be intercepted with force,
3. Any trespassing entities at midnight are assumed to be a threat and not there to sell me cookies,
4. I did my due diligence afterwards (although in my county I didnt have to) and called 911 to report the incident, the responding officer agreed they were probably junkies and he “would have just shot them,”
5. Everything is relative, every situation is different, and nobody consults with an attorney before TSHTF.
I tweeted to them that I hoped the backs of the Tshirts had targets on them, then realized that might not go the way I wanted and deleted it.
There is a joke/play in there somewhere. Maybe someone smarter than me and figure it out.
Take them out? Better start practicing your voter fraud, moms, it’s the only way you’re going to get into double-digits at the polls. I’m practically shaking in my GLOCK-brand undies.
wait are they wanting to assassinate politicians thats what is seems to me by “taking them all out” im gonna have to call the FBI
As I’ve said before, the way to deal with annoying chicks is to deprive them of their life support, male attention.
To these bored women, getting 2A people all riled up is the attention fix they need to validate their “mission.” Ignore them. Give them the electronic version of turning your back on them and pretending that their interruption didn’t happen as you carry on your conversion with the other adults.
If your dog pees on the carpet, you don’t reward him, or you’ll get more of the same behavior. These chicks crave attention. Even negative attention. If you “reward” them with it every time they pee on the carpet, so to speak, they are getting what they want.
If this was strictly a Game issue, I’d agree with you. But these are specifically Leftist women whose “femaleness” has been infiltrated by the Saul Alinsky following Socialists.
They need to be treated not as women but as the enemy. Destroyed but any means necessary. No mercy.
Knew Mr. Carroll and was in Boy Scouts with his son. Good people. Glad to see him standing up for our rights on the floor.
Think about how this looks. A group of primarily men trying to engage a bunch of women who rally behind the word “Mom!” in a massive b!tchfest. There’s nothing good here.
“Don’t argue with an idiot because they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Sounds like a public threat to politicians that are in favor of guns. They should be deemed terrorist and held without release.
Well said, but liberal progressives have developed an immunity to reason. How has it been said before: soap box, ballot box, ammo box? I don’t want to see responsible citizen gun owners in jail, but apparently the NJ legislature does.
I got everything I need but .300 AAC Blackout.
Note to Mina:
Evidently you missed the direct note to “you” and failed to remember that the mobile version site stopped allowing us to hit “reply” to any post.
Oh and nice job trying to deflect my criticism with a load of bluster.
There was a double murder a half mile from my house last week, and all the folks involved were white for what that is worth. In my neck of the woods, I’m much more likely to be facing a white bad guy than a black or hispanic bad guy. This would be the second multiple murder in my area (within 2 miles) in less than a year, and I live out in the country next to corn and soybean fields. The previous one involved all white folks too. Race doesn’t enter my mind when it comes to watching for bad guys. They come in all sizes, shapes and colors.
Thanks for posting that photo, TTAG. It looks fine and thank you to the gentleman for submitting it.
Stand strong, Connecticut!
maybe all the men should take pics with both guns in hand, i have a few guns that are smaller then my gun lol
Hey Bob! A swastika was just a cool ancient graphic until 1938-ish. Why introduce an inflammatory image into the message. Think.
” It’s currently sitting on the desk of Governor Chris Christie – whose presidential aspirations demand that he veto the measure. ”
Ummm as far as I know, this bill was only voted on by the assembly. It has to pass the Senate first before it hits Christie’s desk. It hasn’t even been released from committee in the Senate.
And as far as I know the Democrats have removed this bill from the legislative calendar… There are HUGE problems with this bill that could scuttle it long before it hits CC’s desk.
This bill is unpopular. The Senate President – who championed this bill – is getting resistance from his own district. In fact, his assembly colleagues in his district voted against it.
I am very confident that CC will veto it, but it may come in the form of a conditional veto, which says that they should put language “only while used in the commission of a crime” which may actually make things better than they are today.
“The gun lobby in America, led by the NRA, has bullied this nation’s politicians into cowardly, supine silence.”
As a lifetime member of the NRA (40+ years), I would like to thank Piers for his ringing endorsement.
I take great pride in being able to bully politicians into cowardly silence, and I wish it would work on the more obnoxious ones – Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, Obama the Feckless, etc. Mr. Morgan’s comments have provided me with a wonderful Schadenfreude moment. Plus, I gloat. BWAAAHAAAAA ..
troy hurtubise??
You know what’s so great about Piers Morgan?
Nothing.
To believe what Piers does you have to believe that your government will never – no, not EVER – turn against you. And to believe that, you have to be blind to the ugliness of past and current events. If only Mr. Morgan was alone in his opinion, but how many millions of our fellow Americans also feel that the government and the police are there to protect us; that they will never do anything to hurt us and therefor should be the only ones allowed to handle guns? It makes my brain hurt. And my heart, a little bit. Getting rid of Piers is such a teeny, tiny part of the problem. Still… door, ass, etc.
Piers Morgan’s final message should be discarded like range targets when your done shooting.
