NEW JERSEY GENERAL ASSEMBLY PLAYS POLITICS WITH CONSTITUENTS’ LIVES?
May 4, 2013
Dear Democrat Senators who orchestrated the latest dog and pony show in Trenton.
CC: Governor Christie
I’ve had a few days to cool down since the hearings. BUT! There is a thing nagging my peace I need to share with you, it’s the comment by one gun control lady alluding to all of “US” putting our ENTERTAINMENT & SPORT before the safety of the public.
That is SO WRONG. This has nothing to do with entertainment. This is about survival. That lady never lived on the streets I’ll bet. That lady was never beaten to a bloody pulp I’ll bet. That lady never had someone say “You leave me and I’ll kill you.” and MEAN it.
SURVIVAL! My life. Other women’s lives that’ve suffered the abuse of a world dominated my Mr. Macho Man. (and lived to talk about it… rarely)
It’s all well and good for the goody-two-shoes, pampered pets of Liberal Land to preach their ignorance. But seeing as they seem to have lived in sheltered cages their whole lives, they haven’t a CLUE what it means to live in real fear of imminent threat. You should take their testimony for what it’s worth… nothing at all associated with reality, a total fairy tale based on wishful thinking. “If wishes were horses….”
Do we have enough woman’s shelters? No! Is the violence against women even taken seriously half the time? No! Do women in poverty have anywhere to go to escape? No! Senators, If you have not walked a mile in my shoes, DO NOT sit in your high and mighty chairs, look down your noses, and TELL ME I WILL BE SAFER! That is the most horrendous untruth based upon total ignorance of REAL life survival.
Every MINUTE you delay a person’s ability to defend themselves you put their lives at risk. Every obstacle deprives some of safety. If you’ve never been on the run, with someone hunting you. If you’ve never been kidnapped, beaten, raped… Then you simply cannot imagine how important having that piece under your pillow TONIGHT really is. It’s the difference between sleep and terror. Life and death.
You know the saddest thing of all? It’s the base democrat constituency, your OWN PEOPLE, who shall suffer most. Those who live in poverty being preyed upon are those who MOST need readily available defense TOOLS (yep, guns). I’ve seen with my own eyes cops turn and walk the other way to avoid a fight in the streets. Police do not protect us, they just mop up the blood after. There is no protection on the streets but what you do for yourself… THAT is reality.
Those are who I speak for. Not sportsmen who are able to send lobbyists to Trenton. I speak for those with no voice. I speak from the POV of the women living in the jungles of our inner cities who will be made CRIMINALS by your fancy, useless laws. For what? Trying to survive the NEGLECT of government to educate them and their children so they can escape the cycle of poverty?
If you truly want to reduce violence, then the solution is education. Support School Choice so our young minorities fill industry jobs, not prisons. Support fair funding for tuition allowances so they are free to MOVE to any school where they feel safe. Support having all able bodied welfare recipients work doing community service so they can learn a skill. But do not vote “yes” on any of the bills that restrict the rights of human beings to defend themselves from predators.
The human species is a predator. (Eyes in front of face, not sides). You cannot change humanity. You CAN ensure the wisdom of our Founding Fathers is preserved. They knew self-defense was essential to liberty. To be defenseless is to be prey. Go for a walk in the ghetto at night, alone, no gun. Go live there a while. See how it feels… (particularly you lady Senators) THEN (if you survive) come on back and tell me how much safer we’ll be with no ready access to protection.
Entertainment?????? The ignorance of that statement is depthless.
I am ASHAMED of my Senate, and Assembly. I am ashamed of all of you who play POLITICS with our lives. I’m ashamed of the level of incompetence in policy development that permeates our democrat-controlled legislature.
I’m appalled at the level of disrespect for the PUBLIC shown by the those we’ve hired to SERVE us. We the people deserve an apology. We the people deserve Statesmen who do the right thing, not pander to puff heads to maintain status and power. We the people deserve better!
Shame on you.

OUTSTANDING LETTER!
Although, not the intent of the Second Amendment, The letter spells out the reality of life in the big cities today. The legislators have not a clue about the consequences of their actions. They, in essence, are brain dead. I know that usually only defines a Democrat but, in today’s world, it probably defines anyone in public office.
The new statistics on gun ownership show that women are arming themselves at the rate of over three to one to men. Many are taking training and become responsible gun owners. My wife carries and has a carry permit. Two years ago, we did not consider this necessary in the safe community we live in. However, things have changed drastically. We also have prepared for the possibility of revolution, should it come to that.
They all need to be tried for treason … when ( not if ) found guilty, face a firing squad.
Excellent letter. Unfortunately she said she had to cool down, which means she was quite upset. The author will probably receive a knock on the door to confiscate her gun because they think she shouldn’t have one.
Seig Hiel!
