So, If Dreamers Are Merely "Undocumented," May I Exercise My 2nd Amendment Rights As A Pre-Documented Concealed Carry?
The pro-amnesty contingent of the Democrat party (which seems to be all of them) and their fellow travelers on the hard left (am I repeating myself?) quite obviously think that the lack of documentation -- or as normal, law-abiding citizens call it, being a criminal -- is a technicality that can be happily, cheerfully, blissfully ignored by these wonderful youngsters who are merely pursuing their dreams to be astronauts or engineers or doctors or landscape technologists.
Okay...fine. Is there any qualitative difference between those people exercising their human right to a fat U.S. welfare check and a flat-screen TV at the next riot, and me exercising my human right to self defense, as protected by the 2nd Amendment? I thought not. It is a simple and perfectly understandable technicality that the state of New Jersey has failed to recognize the prevailing attitude toward concealed carry, as evidenced by the trend in about 35 states. Regulation is being relaxed, laws are being stricken, constitutional carry is a hot topic in legislatures across the country. So my silly and meaningless lack of an obviously superfluous document should be discarded on the dust bin of history. Right officer?Comments

Be prepared for legacy media to trot out a parade of accomplished Dreamers. I heard one guy, now an attorney, describing his fear of Trump administration. (He said he's the only undocumented lawyer in NJ.)
I thought of him and his co-dreamers and wondered why they aren't ashamed of creating a Brain Drain from the country of origin. OK fine, you got your education in the U.S., courtesy of us. So now take your degree and your professional title, go home and make a difference.

Gonna be honest, I'm okay with New Jersey being so backwards in terms of guns.
If you live in NJ and want to exercise that right? It might be a good time to try and find a way to leave the state.
It's really how things should be, and were, before the 14th amendment. What that document couldn't have simply been "Slavery is forbidden in the United States" is beyond me.

Especially annoying when the "undocumented" then go and hijack the "documents" of a US citizen - and then destroy their credit, etc.
Because by breaking the law to enter the US "without documentation" they set down a path of even more "documentation" issues like tax fraud/evasion, identity fraud, lying on contracts, etc.
Pesky documentation!!!

In the book Children of Men, which we've been trending towards for some time, Westerners stop having children and import third world people to do all the work of taking care of them in their old age.
This is mentioned in passing in the book as being bad for the people stuck in those third world countries....and we can certainly see that in the real world.
Mexico continues to be a corrupt oligarchy because people can leave and come here to escape (of course they then vote, illegally, for the same sort of people here). If that escape value was not there I would expect that the Mexican government would be forced to be much, much less corrupt.

As Mark Levin said; they're about NONE of them, "undocumented". They came with documents (visa, permit, etc), then overstayed, or otherwise violated the terms of their documents. But they have documents.
The left loves to say they're "undocumented", because it adds to a sense of how underprivileged they are. "...poor undocumented souls, the mean forces in the US govt & society won't give them documents...".

Why should I, having permits from 3 states be infringed if I go through MA, NY or NJ on my way to Florida? Better yet, why do I need 3 permits (NH, ME, UT) so I can move about 37 states?

The most important thing in dealing with Illegal Immigration is to end the idea that Illegals somehow have a right to be here.
Even if we don't deport 25 million, taking strong action will stem the inflow. If Illegals don't get benefits, many will self-deport. If we enforce laws against employers, a lot more will self-deport.

Because the constitution was written to limit the federal government's power, not the power of the states.
States had the sovereignty to decide how they wanted to organize their own societies, and the open borders between the states allowed people to freely move to a state that more closely fit their ideals.
Let Massachusetts strip their citizens of guns as long as they don't limit their ability to move away.
I'm also okay with other states trying socialized medicine as long as South Carolina is not forced to participate and I'm not forced to pay in any way.

From what I've seen of the national reciprocity legislation, it really isn't going to help us a whole lot. Many states have restrictions on magazine capacity. Still have to know those laws. Some states (MA I believe) restrict what firearms you are allowed to own. In some states, local jurisdictions are allowed to put their own restrictions in place. NYC being one.
Those who carry will not be protected if this legislation passes.

Missouri passed a law, effective this past Jan. 1: No permit required. Anyone who can lawfully possess a gun can lawful concealed carry.
The only exceptions, certain specific locations like within a certain distance of polls, government buildings, I think... and any of the previously banned locations, like schools/churches, IF and that's IF, the private property falls within those certain few categories, and opts to keep firearms off the premises.

Thomas Sowell wrote a great column about what is wrong with the whole conversation: it's all about how the criminals feel, their comfort, their concern.
Time for a paradigm shift. It's not about them, it's about our country's sovereignty, about our people institutions they abuse. It is not a victimless crime when we all pay for their entitlements, their kids' education, healthcare, incarceration, etc.

Depends on the courtroom you land in. Lawyers, if we generalize the community, are lefties, and most places you'd actually get picked up for undocumented carry are blue cities with appointed or elected democrat prosecutors and judges, who are sympathetic to liberal causes and not huge fans of conservative causes... so good luck with that.

The most important thing in dealing with Illegal Immigration is to end the idea that Illegals somehow have a right to be here.
Even if we don't deport 25 million, taking strong action will stem the inflow. If Illegals don't get benefits, many will self-deport. If we enforce laws against employers, a lot more will self-deport.
Posted by: Ignoramus
I'll take easy over 'important.'
We should not be harboring immigrant thugs of any kind.
Any undocumented that commits a crime above a traffic infraction should be escorted to the nearest airport.
Ejecting criminals would be the simplest, bare minimum policy with obvious public support.
And it's actually the way it works in most countries outside the Western suicidal group.

We've become two nations as to gun rights, but there's a reason for it.
Our biggest political fault line is City v Country, with Suburbs jump ball. Attitudes about guns and the 2nd Amendment reflect this.
Stats about gun violence also reflect this. Red counties have gun homicide and gun shooting rates like Switzerland; blue counties have rates like Jamaica despite often having tough anti-gun laws.
If you live in a blue county like Brooklyn it's not crazy to say that bringing in more guns isn't a great idea.
The Gun Control Act of 1968 was enacted in response to black inner city riots.
Meanwhile more states have adopted right-to-carry laws. Nearly 40, IIRC.

Seeing as though the 2A rights are protected from the government (that often-skipped clause - shall not be infringed), why should NJ, NY, MA, CA, IL infringe?
I believe you're talking about the idea of "incorporation" ... the notion that the Federal must supercede the State in matters pertaining to, in particular, the Bill of Rights.
That notion did not exist ... in full ... until the 14th Ammendment. And the Federal superceding the States has worked so well since. Ain't it ?
We were better off the old way.

Ask them about the costs of an open border.

This is an interesting one.
The costs are born by the government, and therefore the taxpayers. But since we basically borrow hundreds of billions per year, they are are really born by the young.
The benefits though go straight to to the upper middle class - cheaper landscaping, cheaper nannies, cheaper construction, etc and the Democrat party since illegals vote for them.
Not surprisingly most people favor getting "freebies".

Do these magazines no longer have editors and publisher who actually care about not publicly humiliating themselves?

I'm okay with New Jersey being so backwards in terms of guns.
What the Left tells us though, is that the suppression of anyone's rights anywhere
is a threat to everyone's rights everywhere.
e.g. free BC and abortions
So y'all need to fight the power so that we oppressed Jerseyites can live in freedom.

There will always be a state out there that's going to try and attract freedom loving people. It's the advantage of having a collection of sovereign states. Once the federal government decides to do it, though. We're fucked.

Mexico continues to be a corrupt oligarchy because people can leave and come here to escape (of course they then vote, illegally, for the same sort of people here). If that escape value was not there I would expect that the Mexican government would be forced to be much, much less corrupt.
Exactly. If there are such an asset to our country, why didn't they stay home and help theirs?

I totally agree, but I don't think it needs to be codified. The Founder's thought of public service as a break or sabbatical from their proper vocations. It needs to be ingrained in the thought process of DC. Either way, the K Street Cartel needs to be shut down.

I once had an argument with a liberal coworker about illegals and their 'rights' to welfare benefits. I pointed out that there was a bum down the street, on the corner crapping in his pants.
I asked, "How much of your 401K does that guy deserve?"
"He doesn't deserve any of it. He isn't part of our company , and he didn't pay in!"
My response: "Same story as the illegal alien and my tax dollars, then."

>>living in NYC after having just moved there from Louisiana, I thought it would be a good idea to saw off the barrel of my shotgun I had brought with me. Right before I eventually moved to Texas , I sold it to one of my friends.
I know a Cop who arrested two 'Dreamers' who had a sawed off shotgun. In Brooklynn.
They had stolen it from a home in Westchester and were using it to knock over a bodega.
Their Haul - Just under $185.

Guys,
I've been writing about this issue for a decade. I find it as entertaining to complain about the contradictions in liberal policy as anyone. But you can count every civilian CC permit NJ has issued in the last 3 decades on your hands and feet, and still keep a sock on. That isn't changing. If Federal Concealed Carry includes non-resident permits, then NJ folks can go get a Fl, AZ, or VA non-resident permit and use it to carry in NJ.
The real question will be afterward. Do the cops in NJ charge carriers and make the Federal Government sue to prove get them out of jail, or do they they drag it directly to court themselves looking to prevent it's implementation? Will they launch an assertive defense of their view or passive defense. That's the question.
More to the point, this is an issue we've been winning on at the national level. Continuing to beat Liberals over the head on it with commentary instead of legislation seems a wasted opportunity to me. All the changeable minds are changed.
Instead we should all be crafting our arguments around the issues we've lost but shouldn't have. In my view, we should be throwing our collective energy at the issue of immigration. First stopping the illegal traffic and rolling back the 1965 Immigration law. Then I think we should be having a serious discussion (as Vox is saying today) of rescinding suffrage for recent immigrants.
Don't like that idea? OK how about rescinding all social services for non-citizens with the exception of emergency medical care? Or eliminating birthright citizenship? Or imposing an IQ test at the border for immigration applicants? I'm open. Let's hear your thoughts.
But it seems a waste of a big, increasingly influential megaphone to simply be bashing NJ for being NJ, when we already have a solution on the table, and we're just waiting for a vote.

A simpler way to fix this would be to only allow people to vote if they paid net federal income taxes this year or ever served in active duty military.
It would stop the ability for people to essentially vote themselves money from their fellow citizens. I make an exception for military here because they've already put their asses on the line which covers them for life...though perhaps tighten it up so that their is a requirement for combat duty or some minimum time served.

If it must be said, part of the responsibility of being a gun owner/holder of a weapon is to know the relevant laws, and abide by them.
So... there are lots of gun rights advocates in Missouri who are still urging citizens to get training, become proficient in handling their weapons, knowing where they can and can't carry, and MOST importantly to understand that Missouri law does NOT cross state lines.

Well... 2nd Amendment is actually in the Constitution.
As both ARE Rights, a State should be able to:
1. Do a Background check before an abortion.
2. Have a waiting period before you get an abortion.
3. Outlaw certain types of abortions.
4. You can't get an abortion with any type of mental illness.
5. If under 18, you can't get an abortion.
6. In Calif. you will need a pre approved Card to buy a morning after pill (soon to be enforced ammo card).
All these are 'reasonable' restrictions on a Right... at least according to the anti gun folks, AND THE COURTS...

That's in California.
The sanctuary cities aren't going to be able to do a goddamned thing if Trump shuts off the federal gravy spigot.
Chicago? How's that pension plan going? Cut off the funding there and suddenly their budget is 600 feet underwater. And that's not even taking into account how they're going to come up with funding for the gibsmedat crowds. You can try to raise taxes, but producers will just leave.

There was a poll linked on Breitbart yesterday, conducted by UC Berkeley I believe, that said 74% of Californians want sanctuary cities outlawed.
That's in California.
They why aren't they?

But it seems a waste of a big, increasingly influential megaphone to simply be bashing NJ for being NJ, when we already have a solution on the table, and we're just waiting for a vote.

So is there a rumour Prime Minister Pretty Hair's biological father is Fidel Castro? I don't believe I've ever heard that. His arrogant idiocy can be fully explained as coming down from Pierre Trudeau.

It was everywhere when Castro died.
Side by side pics of Justin and Fidel are quite interesting, really.
Snopes & Buzzfeed both say it's not true.

So... there are lots of gun rights advocates in Missouri who are still urging citizens to get training, become proficient in handling their weapons, knowing where they can and can't carry, and MOST importantly to understand that Missouri law does NOT cross state lines.
^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^
I believe this law was instituted when the State highway Patrol, in a blatantly naked political move "accidentally" released the entire database of CC permit holders. If I start CC'ing, I'm getting the approved training, I'm just not going to voluntarily self identify to any government body.

Yep. Federal 2nd Amendment advances are a distraction. Enough positive momentum still going on at the state level.

All these are 'reasonable' restrictions on a Right... at least according to the anti gun folks, AND THE COURTS...
and the supposed reason that there are all those restrictions is that a gun is deadly and MIGHT result in someone's death.
and yet abortion always ends in a death . . .

One of the problems with Sanctuary Cities is that they're supposed to turn over criminals to ICE for deportation but don't, and instead just release.
I've proposed that city officials be held accountable for this criminally, if the released criminal later commits a serious crime. It meets the requirements for a charge of obstruction of justice by being an accessory after the fact.

I am also an undocumented BBWAA member! So... where's my Baseball Hall of Fame ballot??
The crime that is Stan Hack, Minnie Minoso, Roger Maris and Sparky Lyle being denied their GOD GIVEN right to be in the Hall will be rectified.
Oh yes it will. Pete will have to wait. At least until after we've forgiven Joe Jackson.
And after Moe Berg is elected. Just because. And good grief, Cecil Travis!!!

I heard that guy on the radio, too! If NPR were better with numbers they might have found out for us *how many* of those 750,000 DACA applicants have professional degrees.
_____________________________
Don't know if any of them have degrees, but apparently quite a few of them have trouble reading.
North Carolina audited their voter rolls a few years ago and found several hundred DACA recipients registered (illegally) to vote there. This was despite the fact that they had been specifically told that their amnesty docs did NOT make them U.S. citizens, and the NC voter registration form warns in big capital red letters that you may not fill out or submit the form if you are not a U.S. citizen.
Illegal aliens deliberately ignoring the law -- imagine that!

Justin: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Trump: No, I am your father.

I try to deny any knowledge of Trudeau.

JamesMadison,
That argument is dead post 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. Th decision of Barron v. Baltimore was nullified by these. No, states do not have plenary powers to do as they like to their own citizens or others within its boundaries--that has never been true. See Gibbons v. Ogden for example, New York can create a monopoly on steamboats for its citizens but cannot bar competition that uses a federal license to transverse its rivers.
The second part is ignoring the privileges and immunities clauses in the original document and the 14th. An existing privilege at the time of the framing was the possession of firearms for free citizens. in the states. Arguably any attempt to seize them on a trip would violate that citizen's privileges and immunities.
Third, the Commerce clause under current jurisprudence clearly gives the power to Congress to allow travelers to travel with their firearms regardless of what a particular state's laws have to say about the subject--See Firearm Owners Protection Act. Thus, they can mandate that a state accept another's permit if they wish because a state's regulation hinders interstate travel/commerce.
They also did that with the law permitted retired police officers to retain their firearms across state lines if they wish.
Look, the great object of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is the preservation of liberty--not states' rights. States' rights in the 10th is instrumental in that it is a means to protect against tyranny--not a license to do so to their own citizens and travelers. Similarly, the Bill of Rights and its provisions were designed to protect liberty generally both from the federal and state governments. Both can infringe on liberties, both can act as tyrants, and thus both must be restrained by an active citizenry and through the design of the Constitution itself. Your namesake, James Madison get it right in Federalist 45. Power should flow to that level of government that is addressing the public's needs.
"It is too early for politicians to presume on our forgetting that the public good, the real welfare of the great body of the people, is the supreme object to be pursued; and that no form of government whatever has any other value than as it may be fitted for the attainment of this object." Federalist 45

I'm guessing the majority of them have psychological issues.
As for the rest, maybe they are doing things that are obviously illegal and SHOULD be afraid.
/we have these things called Laws. They haven't been important for eight years. I hope they will return to prominence.

A man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted in November by President Barack Obama has been fatally shot at a federal halfway house in Michigan after two men with assault-style rifles sought him out, police said.
Two men wearing masks went into Bannum Place in Saginaw on Monday night with plans to kill 31-year-old Damarlon Thomas, a former Saginaw gang member. Lt. David Kaiser said Thomas was shot several times by one of the men as some of the roughly two dozen people at the home were held at gunpoint.
THANKS OBAMA

over at the NRO, they wonder why Trump hasn't canceled DACA, excerpt:
But U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ( USCIS ), which handles the two-year, renewable amnesty program, could easily have been instructed to suspend processing of DACA applications - both for renewals and first-time applicants - until further notice. That hasn't happened, at least not yet. In response to an inquiry from me earlier today, USCIS spokesman Steve Blando e-mailed me the following: "We are still accepting/processing DACA requests under existing policy." He told Politico the same thing, verbatim. Politico also reported that "according to the most recent public statistics -- from the third quarter of last year -- an average of about 140 initial applications and 690 renewals were approved each calendar day." If that average holds up, it means that more than 800 illegal aliens received new or renewed work permits during the first business day of the Trump administration.

I'll do you one better, CBD. You know that you have a right to a lawyer, right? (Anyone who's seen more than ten minutes of any crime drama knows the answer to that.) And if you desire a lawyer but can't afford one, you'll get one appointed for you at no charge; that's based on the understanding that if economics is a barrier to you exercising your right, it's the same as being denied that right.
So, go with me on this (those of you who know where I'm going with this can still follow along).
I have a right to bear arms, but I can't afford one. The budget in my household just doesn't go that far yet. I really like that Sig P229, but the wallet and the checkbook are both saying no. Does anyone have the contact information for whoever it is at the BATFE that I can contact for my free government weapon?

No. NJ, along with NY, MA, CA, does not recognize any other state's CCW permit.
I've heard the cops target out of staters: run their tags, pull up
the driver's license. Generally the CCW is noted on that record.
which is why, visiting my relatives in MA and NJ is a very rare occurrence.
would like them to allow locked carry, but fear just what they would require for the safe (heavier than my car, would be my guess)

Sorry for the OT, but is anyone else disturbed that Soros is throwing money at state district attorney races?

"over at the NRO, they wonder why Trump hasn't canceled DACA"
Expect he's waiting on Sessions getting approved.
Sessions early backing of Trump over Illegal Immigration was a big early inflection point in Trump's campaign.
Can you think of anyone better to go at the problem than Sessions?

Meh.. California is just like any other state - there are parts of it that are pretty and then there is Oakland, Wilmington etc. The main difference about living in the nicer parts of Cali compared to living in the nicer parts in some other state is that in Cali, you would pay upwards of 700,000 dollars for a 1,500 sq feet home.

I was in San Diego this past summer, visited Coronado Island, and there was a quaint little house for sale there... so I looked it up.
Oh, for heaven's sake! That's just silly. That much? For that house?
You people are insane, is all I can say.

Seems like a enterprising guy with a bit of cash in his pocket could make a killing by buying land and selling small plots at a premium. Does the land have to have a dwelling on it?

He destroyed our VERY successful Governor in NC.
'Very' is NOT hyperbole. He and the legislature worked miracles. BUT, the Dems created a faux wedge issue, the media hyped it full time, and now McCrory is out, and a Dem quisling is in.
Which reflects on Trump's problem. No matter how successful he may be, the Left/media are perfectly capable of destroying him anyhow.

Along the same lines, I was reminded yesterday that it is a Fair Housing violation to refuse to rent to someone who is an illegal alien. Yes, that's right, you can have a clause in the lease that the tenant may not engage in illegal activity, but you can't ask them if they are in the country legally or refuse to rent to them if they are but otherwise qualify.

Your premise is philosophically sound. If undocumented "citizenship" is valid, so are the "undocumented" rights of that citizenship.
btw, "undocumented" sounds innocuous, doesn't it? Like "Oops--I must have left my wallet on the kitchen counter. In Syria. Five years ago."
And if Sanctuary Cities for immigration laws are valid, so are Sanctuary States for traditional marriage and EPA exemptions.

By this logic, then I am entitled to simply move unrestricted into some Progressive's second home and keep it as my abode. But they should pay for my rent and food and healthcare.
I have no documented title, see? You owe it to me. Because, like, rights-n-stuff.
