Quote of the Day: Any Weapon Whatsoever Edition

Dan Zimmerman - comments No comments

“In his final argument, Reininger claimed his convictions should be reversed because ‘New Jersey’s gun control scheme’ violates his right under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution to keep and bear arms. We disagree. The Second Amendment does not create ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.'” – New Jersey State Superior Court Opinion in Conviction upheld for man moving to Texas with SUV full of guns [via nj.com]

  1. What did we learn here?

    Put a blanket over your shit or get a cargo cover for your SUV’s cargo compartment.

    If you’re gonna carry a concealed handgun illegally in the NE, don’t speed and dont spend one second in a slave state than you absolutely must.

    Also, you can’t scream about your rights being violated when you brazenly defy the law of the state you are in. The guns in cases probably could have made for a good case, but having the loaded handgun sealed his fate.

    Moral of the story? Research and take careful routes.

  2. What a straw man construction. Who argued before the court that ” ‘a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose” is at play here? No, the argument is that New Jersey prohibitions are not reasonable.

  3. While we may disagree with the prohibitions in NJ, NY, CA, CO or elsewhere, and rightfully so, the fact remains that these prohibitions are the law. The fact that one does not care for a particular law, or does not find a regulation to be constitutional does not provide a defense against the application of said laws. Constitutionality is not determined by an individual, but by the Supreme Court. That being noted, to simply state that one will not abide by a particular statute concerning firearms, and expecting a positive outcome is by any measure a fool’s folly.

    • There were lawful ways to transport his weapons from Maine to Texas, he chose to thwart them. Then he lied to police. Then he skipped bail. Then he lived as a fugitive. Idiot.

      No sympathy. He’s a cancer to the 2A defenders. I’ve moved TX>NY>TX>NY>TX. No hiccups, no broken laws, and I’m a gun owner. Do your homework, obey the law, don’t risk losing your rights by undermining them with stupidity. There’s no 2A right to keep & bear in a jail cell.

    • Not that I don’t agree the individual used some poor judgement, but isn’t the reason the Supreme Court makes those decisions on constitutionality usually the result of such a fool’s folly.

  4. I might be willing to loan, or more likely sell, on a person to person basis with an officer, at least with the sheriffs here in colorado that are supporting the 2nd amendment. With the recent money problems they are facing some of them are having to buy their own ammo so I feel they need to be able to defend themselves the same as everyone else does. I would expect to get more returned to me. The state patrol and the city cops can fend for themselves.

  5. PLEASE … PLEASE…… Talk to your representatives , and DEMAND an end to “Citizens United”. We need a constitutional amendment that says contribution to political figures MUST be individual citizens…..NOT corporations or unions. Fear not the government, but FEAR the corporation controlling the government. Corporations WILL bring back the days of the company store…. Some day you will have to pay a TAX to have a garden and grow your own food. IT WILL HAPPEN …..money begets more money!!! Corporations already control the media, they are tightening their grasp on government, and they soon will have all the necessary technology to monitor citizens, so the next thing will be the sacrifice of your rights…..that includes firearms. A corporate entities primary reason for existing is to make money, and that means doing anything in it power achieve those goals. We in a time a excess, so PLEASE……. look into citizens united…….this is bigger than just the right to bear arms.

  7. How do you drug a projectile? Ask any jungle blowgun hunter. The secretions of poisonous frogs are quite effective.

    BTW, this prohibition includes tranquilizer guns.

    More to the point, you’re not going to get much if any expansion, or even kinetic impact, if this thing doesn’t trigger until contact and without a barrel. It seems that the primary effect would be from the explosion of the propellant.

  8. “How do you drug a projectile?”

    There is a poison that some have used on broadheads that kill game animals quickly, even if it was a bad shot (gut shot). Kind of like the poison darts in South America.

  9. A popular meme with the anti-gunners these days is to claim that the 2nd amendment allows you to keep and bear muskets, in other words, the arms that were standard when the 2A was written. Right, ha ha, very witty. Gun rights supporters, however, should grab this and reverse it for our own meme point. If muskets were state-of-the-art arms issued to soldiers when the 2A was adopted, then modern citizens should have access to the same level of weaponry carried by modern military troops. The spirit of the 2A (of the entire constitution) is to empower the citizenry with more authority (and might) than the government so that a tyranny cannot subdue the people by taking command of the government. The constitution not only assumes that common citizens are honest and responsible enough to be fully armed, it relies upon it.

  10. I guarantee it will be legal in Louisiana in no time. The state recently removed almost all regulations for hog hunting, e.g. silencers, night vision, spot lights, you name it.

  11. The article states: “Federal law requires that guns be transported “in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.”

    In South Carolina, unless you have been convicted of a felony, it is perfectly legal to keep a loaded handgun in the glove compartment or console of your vehicle. No permit required.

  12. MSM Handbook = Section 7.3(B1):

    A) If you can’t find a good anti-gun /anti-gun industry story, make one up.

  13. For sure share when at the range or on the ranch having some firearm fun.

    I’ve also used ammo as payment for some carpentry work to pay my cousin for building me a work bench in my garage. It was a mutually beneficial exchange and both parties were happy 🙂

  14. I believe thumb hole stocks are not counted as pistol grips. But I could be wrong, I do not live in a communism state. (and why people willfully live there is beyond me)

  15. I really like this design, I can see how this could solve the problems that defense distributed was having with the buffer tube area cracking and breaking. I’m also a big P90 fan anyway.

  16. Does something like this already exist as a retail lower? I’d love to add a lower like this to my lego collection. It would be a head-scratcher at the range for sure. 😀

  17. I’d rather have a regular PG and collapsible stock, but it is cool. Would be great for areas where adjustable stocks are restricted.

  18. ok look im not going to argue with any one when it comes to my rights. there are four hundred thousand UN troops station in the rocky mountains as we speak. Obama has ordered a hundred and thirty thousand lmtv (light military tactical vehicles) to be built in six months. Plus his rehabilitation camps witch isn’t anything but concentration camps so if he’s doing all this what do you really think he is up to. he being a magician showing one hand wile doing the trick with the other. Yawl better get ready weather you believe it or not.

  19. You actually make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I
    to find this matter to be actually one thing that I believe I would never
    understand. It kind of feels too complex and very large for me.
    I’m taking a look ahead on your next put up, I will try to get the hang of it!
