What the're seizing are guns. What aren't they seizing?

Thats exciting to see. Hopefully more and more people will recognize the need to target gangs and the illegal firearms.

They are seizing handguns. Not ARs. Though they did show a nice little 22lr they had seized as well.

I'm sure they would seize ARs too, if they found them on the street.

Ah ha....yes...indeed. And yet.....

So we SHOULD have more law enforcement actions targeting gangs. Man...if this ever catches on we could see a REAL difference in the violent crime and homicide rates.

It does. If NJ is not more restrictive than NYC its at least just as restrictive. I grew up in NJ and I've lived there most of my life. Look it up, if you do some internet research you can see just how gun phobic NJ is.

I see a few points variance from month to month.

If US crime rates are rising dramatically then it is yet another condition unique to America exceptionalism because crimes rates around the world are dropping. It is a universal phenomenon and if it's not happening there it means you've ****ed that up too.

The highest incarceration rate in the industrialized world, the highest recidivism rate, the highest violent offender rate, by far the highest murder rate even leaving out school shootings....and all that with the highest rate of police to civilian police and law enforcement.

..and oyu people have the gall to call other places "**** holes"

NJ is very low on gun deaths per capita. Gun control works!
 
So...we're bragging about people doing their job now? I mean, I'm glad they are, but this doesn't really do anything for people who are pro gun. They want that to happen.

Gee, police seizing illegally owned weapons held by gang bangers in a high crime area, shockingly reducing crime. And you think that means taking all guns is good... smh.

Really? Can you link to the post where I advocated taking all guns?

Sure. Can you show where you don't support Nazis, Commies, and Kim Jung Un?

You posted an article about gun confiscations benefits. Where have I posted the benefits of any of your named silliness?

Confiscating guns from criminals and gangsters is indeed a good thing. Now, where have I said that "taking all guns is good?"

or are you just making an reductio ad absurdum argument?

If you believe that confiscating guns from criminals and gangsters is good and that confiscating guns from good, well meaning, law abiding people is bad than I whole heartedly agree.
