“Only in the Garden State do lawmakers openly block self-defense by those facing serious threats and tout it as a good thing,” he said. “Yet lawmakers themselves enjoy the armed protection of state house security details while they hypocritically block everyone else’s rights.”
The measure, along with one to revise New Jersey’s smart gun statutes, heads to Christies desk. While he has not commented directly on his plans for the two current bills, he has vetoed a string of gun control proposals sent his way in the past. |

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: note "Safety" is #2, after foundational "Physiological" (eating, drinking)...also note that the primary interest of US workers at this time is "will the boss get me a good healthcare plan". Huge aspect of Safety-crime deterance and prevention: if opposing criminal is 1. physically more enabled and/or 2. weapons enabled, a gun is the ONLY solution-ask a cop if disagree, they don't reach for pepper spray/tazer/baton if perp has rock, knife, bat, or is shaqille o'neal 6'9" 275lbs.

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 |
