Tom Knighton, at Bearing Arms, looks at how well those tough gun laws are working in New Jersey
New Jersey is one of a handful of states that have fully and completely embraced gun control as the supposed answer to all of life’s social ills. The problem isn’t that our society is broken or that people can’t figure out how to live without killing one another. The problem is that firearms are a thing that exists.
They heavily restrict guns in ways that simply don’t exist in many other states.
And yet, this doesn’t seem to happen in most other states, either.
A hospital worker in New Jersey was arrested after a cache of rifles, shotguns, handguns, and ammunition was found inside an unlocked closet.
The weapons were discovered on July 18, after police responded to a bomb threat at Hudson Regional Hospital. While the bomb threat was determined to be a hoax, a K9 unit alerted in front of an unlocked closest during a safety sweep of the hospital. Inside the closet, officers found 27 rifles and shotguns, 11 handguns, and a Kriss Vector .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle, which had a high-capacity magazine.
Reuven Alonalayoff, the hospital’s marketing manager, was taken into custody and charged with possession of an assault firearm and two counts of possession of a high-capacity magazine.
Yep, those tough gun laws are really working wonders
