Open mike reveals N.J. senators' contempt for gun owners, confiscation goal

by David Codrea

A microphone left on after the gavel fell at a New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday shows the "true view" of some of the senators toward gun owners, and provides proof that gun confiscation is a goal on which they agree, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs revealed in an email to members and supporters today. The group is the official NRA state association.

"The discussion that was caught, apparently among several senators and staff, is outrageous, and reveals legislators' true view of gun owners," ANJRPC reports.

"The discussion appears to be among Senator Loretta Weinberg (D37), Senator Sandra Cunningham (D31), Senator Linda Greenstein (D14), and at least one member of Senate Democratic staff," the gun group's email explains. A You Tube video of the "off the record" conversation is embedded in this column's sidebar.

"The discussion that was caught, apparently among several senators and staff, is outrageous, and reveals legislators' true view of gun owners"

Among the lines heard in the recording:

"We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate."
"They don't care about the bad guys. All they want to do is have their little guns and do whatever they want with them."

The May 9 discussion is also currently available at the committee's website, but the gun group fears "It is possible that the official recording will be sanitized following release of this alert, and the official YouTube video could be deleted, so be sure to listen to it promptly."

That the legislators have utter contempt for the Second Amendment and its proponents is obvious. Also clear is they have provided an irrefutable rebuttal to anti-gun activists who ridicule fears of a "slippery slope" by claiming no one wants to take guns away. Clearly, these politicians do.

ANJRPC is asking its supporters to "immediately call [609-847-3700] AND fax [609-633-7254] the Senate Majority Office, tell them you are outraged by the misguided, disparaging, and clueless comments of those pushing the anti-gun bill package, and demand that Senate Democratic leadership hold the entire package of anti-gun bills currently scheduled for consideration by the full Senate on Monday, May 13."

Senators now have two days to read and digest it before a Wednesday vote. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), the lead GOP negotiator, said the bill contains all the most vital reforms Republicans have demanded and called it a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to close our open border." "The bill provides funding to build the wall, increase technology at the border, and add more detention beds, more agents, and more deportation flights. The border security bil
