Judge blocks New Jersey ban on guns at beaches, casinos

https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-blocks-jersey-ban-guns-204200532.html


(Reuters) - A federal judge on Monday blocked New Jersey's recently enacted bans on carrying guns at beaches or casinos, though she left in place other restrictions passed by the state in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last year expanding gun rights nationwide.

The order from U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb in Camden, New Jersey, came in response to a lawsuit brought by seven people and the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs challenging parts of a law signed by Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in December.

"This marks the beginning of the end for Governor Murphy's blatantly unconstitutional new carry law, which is going down in flames," said Scott Bach, executive director of the association, in a statement.

"We look forward to being able to appeal the ruling and are confident that it will be reversed," said Tyler Jones, a spokesperson for Murphy.

1. Man thongs and 88 Magnums - sounds like a perfect NJ beach combination.

I know there's no such thing as an 88 Magnum (except in Johnny Dangerously). Ridiculous rulings deserve ridiculous responses. Tucking your pistol into your man thong is one such response.

Nobody ever gets super mad or depressed in or around Casinos.

Nor would anyone ever try to rob one.

I mean, why not subject our Wise and Infallible Judges to the same conditions they impose on others?

Guns will achieve perfect freedom, perfect ubiquity, due to the language of the dumb 2nd Amendment. Americans get to live in the carnage like we've been doing for decades.

Only a matter of time until restrictions on full-auto firearms are rescinded.
