    | New Jersey’s 3rd Congressional District Independent candidate Martin Weber is vowing to preserve the spirit and legality of the Second Amendment. The seat is currently held by Democrat Andy Kim.
 
 “The Second Amendment needs to be defended for the law-abiding citizens,” said Weber. “When you look at many gun owners here in the 3rd District, you see people who are hunters and those who use them for sport and recreation.”
 
 The candidate does recognize the calls by advocates to ensure there are reasonable regulations and background checks.

    | "to ensure there are reasonable regulations" 
 Hmnph. Some 2A 'advocate.'
 
 No matter how many centuries of case law one cites, none of it erases, reverses or nullifies "shall not be infringed."
 
 That would take a constitutional amendment, which ain't gonna happen.
 
 I know  it's politically difficult to get around that, but someone had better, because the assault on our 2A rights must be stopped, permanently.

                      | Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children.  — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S.
