Last year Camden, New Jersey was ranked as America's most dangerous city by a Kansas research firm. This year gun grabbers are playing down the rankings by pre-emptively blaming Pennsylvania.
Law enforcment efforts to curb crime in Camden will be undermined as long as guns remain easily available in neigboring Pennsylvania, gun control and community activists argued today.At a news conference in the Fairview section, Brian Miller, executive director of Cease-Fire New Jersey, called on New Jersey elected officials to pressure their counterparts in Pennsylania to tighten their gun laws.
Gun laws in New Jersey are far more restrictive than in Pennsylvania, where permits are not required to buy handguns. Officials have said more and more weapons used in crimes in Camden were originally purchased in Pennsylvania

There are lots of towns in Jersey that are close to Pennsylvania where crime is not a problem. Camden resembles post-war Dresden and is a crime-ridden shithole where lots of bad guys live, which is really the problem.
I wonder if there would be as much crime if the law-abiding citizens of Camden (who don't want to illegally purchase a gun in Pa.) had an easier time buying a gun in Jersey.

Posted by: sandpiper at November 18, 2005 10:28 AMJim is right. We live just a couple miles east of Easton PA, the crack gang war capital of the state, and there is just about no crime at all in this very red corner of blue NJ. Maybe cuz everybody has a closet full of guns?
Posted by: Drew at November 18, 2005 1:08 PMBryan Miller (correct spelling) is the demented SOB whose been on an anti gun jihad ever since his brother, and FBI officer was killed.
He and a few other guys are the bloc behind Ceasefire NJ and Ceasefire PA, funded by Joyce.
This effort is in direct support of a 1 gun a month bill that was filed a few days ago, despite them not being able to secure the recommendation of the "gun crime committee" that Rendell convoked a few months back.

I plugged "more and more" into all my equations, and it turns out to not be a valid number.
Canada made the same accusations about the U. S., and when asked to provide a valid number, they apologized and said that it was only someone's opinion.
Posted by: GrampaPinhead at November 18, 2005 3:03 PMWe here the same thing from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. Seems that every time there appears to be a rise of gun violence in Boston, mayor Menino seems to start complaining about guns coming in from New Hampshire. He even wants the State police to start random car searches to stop guns coming in.
It always amazes me that it's never their foolish legislation at fault, but the fault of the neighboring state.
