State Senate Declares War on New Jersey Gun Manufacturers, Retailers with Draconian New Bill
By Matt Rooney | The Save Jersey Blog
Get ready for this one, Save Jerseyans. Trenton’s war on your Second Amendment rights is ramping up.
N.J. Senate Democrats have decided to reinstate a clause in S2467/S2471 legislation which Senator Steve Oroho says “would force New Jersey to divest pension funds from thriving American companies that legally sell firearms…”
After sensibly agreeing to remove the requirement at a May 9 public meeting, Senate Democrats have reinstated the very clause that they publicly removed. I’m disappointed that public action taken by Democrats apparently doesn’t hold up behind closed doors.”
According to Oroho, S2467/S2471 “prohibits New Jersey from investing the state’s pension and annuity funds in companies manufacturing, importing and selling particular firearms for civilian use,” a move which would disincentivize gun manufacturers and retail companies like Wal-Mart from investing in New Jersey. Anyone who understands the irony underlying liberals’ anti-corporate attitudes knows that public employee pension funds are routinely invested in a variety of leftist pariahs including oil companies, too.
Good Lord! I wish these morons had been half as discriminating with Jon Corzine’s pension investments…

It doesn’t even matter how you feel about gun rights. This is a nakedly ideological attack on an industry that will accomplish little except hurting our economy.
Do*chebags. And, I don't even own a gun.
