Greetings from NJ! (I know, I know . . .)
I found this site while researching gun laws and advocacy after recently purchasing my fist revolver. I'm familiar with rifles and such, having grown up in PA, and yeah, Jersey is draconian. It rubs against my sense of liberty and personal responsibilty. However, I sometimes find myselfconflicted with some of what I see (through the lens of the mass media) regarding gun rights issues and advocacy. Now, I understand the need to vigorously defend our rights -- heck, I carry a pocket copy of the Constitution in my bag. But I also consider myself as, for want of a better tag, an unapologetic liberal (even radical), in the old school sense that Liberal = Liberty. I just don't see that liberty, personal responsibility and liberalism are mutually exclusive. I'm a complicated person, so . . . I hope that's okay. Hope I haven't over-stepped the bounds of discussion in the general discusison.
