Sometimes it takes a difficult situation to let you know who your true friends are. At least, that’s the case for Steffon Josey-Davis, a 24-year-old New Jersey resident whose life was turned upside down almost two years ago after police stopped him for expired registration tags and learned he had a loaded gun in his glovebox.
Josey-Davis, who is waiting on a pardon from Gov. Chris Christie for what he calls a mistake, was charged with second-degree felony, put on probation and fined for possessing the loaded 9mm Smith & Wesson. The weapon was purchased legally through the armored truck company he worked for, but his carry permit was pending. |

| NJ MV regs probably rank no 2 to its gun law in arbitrary complexity, so I don't make too much of the "expired tags", canard. OTOH, I find it most curious the BGI hasn't lifted a finger to help 'one of their own' in this instance. Maybe because he's a clean-cut, hard-working, taxpayer with responsible social ambitions caught up in NJ's regulatory machine ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
