New Jersey firearm purchasers card requirements:
-18 years old at least
-Fill out paperwork including the following question (I got a kick outta this one):
(30) Are you presently, or have you ever been a member of any organization which advocates or approves the commission of acts of violence, either to overthrow the government of the United States or of this State, or to deny others of their rights under the Constitution of either the United States or the State of New Jersey? If yes, list name and address of organization(s) here:
-Get two references that cannot be family members, cannot live outside NJ, and must be over 21
-Fill out a consent to search mental records
-Get township police fingerprinting done
-Get FBI fingerprinting done
-Pay $69 for everything
-Wait 3+ months
I wonder if the gang-bangers in Trentonapply for cards? Stupid question. Of course not. It'sthe good citizens who get regulated and prevented from owning firearms, which onlyemboldens the criminals who shoot up neighborhoods where they know theyare the only ones armed.
Glad I live in Montana. This kinda crap would never fly here.
Sorry for the tirade.
