A New Jersey program to get illegal guns off the streets has yielded a bonanza — especially in Camden. Camden County Police collected more than 2,000 guns in conjunction with the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and the state Attorney General's Office. The 2,174 firearms collected nearly doubled the total from the county’s 2012 buyback initiative, officials said. |

If it doesn't achieve the stated goal, i.e. reducing 'gun violence', then it IS NOT a 'success'. Quit lyin'. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
