Demonstrate the need for regulated militia

“May Issue” in New Jersey is, in practice, “no issue.” The legislature helped solidify this by passing a series of gun control bills last year. One, in particular, added to the statute a definition of “Justifiable Need.” In plain English, a law-abiding citizen, regular Joe, will not be able to get a permit to carry in NJ unless they are able to show they have been previously attacked, multiple times, or there have been multiple previous specific threats to the person. Therefore, New Jersey is a “no issue” state, unless perhaps you’re politically connected or know the right people.

This is gun control, and New Jersey law enforces the right to a regulated militia. In plain English, if conditions warrant a regulated militia, the we are guaranteed that right, private and public.

The court can select the option, emphasize right to bear or emphasize regulated militia.  Letting anyone have assault weapons with no connection to regulated militia is definitely a Constitutional error, we have seen the spread of assault weapons makes the public effort to keep a regulated militia very difficult.

Concealed hand guns approach the grey area, mainly because we have grand fathered in target shooters.  Hunting weapons are simple. It is the assault weapons, and concealed high powered handguns. Assault weapons need a highly regulated gun club or professional regulated security force. The high caliber handguns need be registered. No one is taking away the right to own, that is impossible since they are legally manufactured.
