Any hint of what might be going on in Dover?  The new session is not that far away.

Ban guns...ban ammo...take guns...!!!  Except for criminals, no laws will affect their guns.

Radnor is usually on top of things.

I had my new leftist Assemblyman over for coffee.
I repeated my opinion that confiscating so-called "assault weapons" and standard-capacity would not prevent crime, but I offered him an alternative idea:

Create a new crime that only happens if you're already committing a crime.
Example: "Possession of an 'assault weapon' during the commission of a felony."

This would avoid criminalizing previously legal behavior, and might actually help.

Already there....

Now all we have to do is get them to charge and try the criminals with those crimes.

Exactly! Let them introduce it, pass it, pat themselves on the back for it, and leave us the f*** alone. That's my goal.
