New Jersey's Governor and the State Legislature are prime examples of how fuckin' stupid these people can get to be...
New Jersey has among the strictest gun laws in the nation. Acting attorney general Matt Platkin said that that is "A major factor explaining few cases of firearm-related violence compared with other states". He's full of shit. In New Jersey ten largest cities, the gun-related crime statistics are almost exactly the same as Chicago and New York City.
Anyway, the bills Murphy signed:
- Authorize the state’s attorney general to bring “public nuisance” claims against gun manufacturers and others who market firearms.
- Require a safety course in order to get a firearm purchaser’s identification card in New Jersey. Training to get a carry permit had already been required.
- Hold those moving from out of state to New Jersey to the permitting requirements residents must follow. That means applying for a purchasers permit within 60 days and registering weapons with law enforcement.
- Require gun sellers to retail so-called microstamping firearms — weapons that imprint each round of ammunition with identifying information once such technology is certified to be available by the state attorney general. This is easily the stupidest of all the laws he signed.
- Require a state registry to track ammunition sales.
- Increase the penalties for people who purchase firearms parts to manufacture weapons without serial numbers from a third-degree crime to a second-degree crime, taking the possible punishments from 3 to 5 years in prison to 5 to 10.
- Ban .50-caliber guns. I guess you'll have to un-mount that .50 from the top of your personnel carrier, Sarge.
Murphy signed the bills alongside public officials in a packed municipal building that was also filled with anti-gun violence activists wearing red “Moms Demand Action” T-shirts.
Second Amendment advocates opposed the legislation, testifying against it in the Legislature, which voted on of the measures the same day the Supreme Court delivered its opinion in the New York case.
“Gov. Murphy’s bill package chooses to target law-abiding gun owners while ignoring criminals and those with dangerous behavioral issues who are responsible for most violence in New Jersey,” said Scott Bach, the executive director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs.
For the record, not a single one of these new restrictions will prevent a bad guy from getting any gun they want, nor will it stop a bad guy from doing whatever he wants. It's another bullshit dog & pony show that only fucks with us regular folks. Juss' sayin'...

It's a top-ten bucket list item for me. One of the few European capitals I have not been too, and I've spoken French (barely, but enough to get by on) since I was in High School. Go figure, huh?

The fossilized skeleton of a T. rex relative that roamed the earth about 76 million years ago will be auctioned in New York this month, Sotheby's announced Tuesday. The Gorgosaurus skeleton will highlight Sotheby's natural history auction on July 28, the auction house said.
The Gorgosaurus was an apex carnivore that lived in what is now the western United States and Canada during the late Cretaceous Period. It predated its relative the Tyrannosaurus rex by 10 million years. The specimen being sold was discovered in 2018 in the Judith River Formation near Havre, Montana, Sotheby's said. It measures nearly 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 22 (6.7 meters) feet long.
All of the other known Gorgosaurus skeletons are in museum collections, making this one the only specimen available for private ownership, the auction house said.
Another new New Jersey law now requires breweries to give a walking or virtual tour of the facility before allowing patrons to consume alcohol. In addition, there is to be no food served, or any coordination with, mobile food trucks.
The ABC says its intention is to "increase stability in the alcoholic beverage marketplace and to foster realistic competition that ultimately will benefit all residents of the State."

All of this turmoil - every littlest bit of it - is the result of the dimwitted and ridiculous shutdowns and restrictions
related to covid.
You know all those pilots and other flight personnel that quit - or you fired - because they didn't want to get jabbed? Well, here's the results of that mandate come back to bite you square in your asses, and we're all reaping the harvest of that whole clusterfuck...
British Airways is scrapping another 10,300 flights through the summer season as it grapples with a staffing crisis that’s unleashed chaotic scenes across Europe’s aviation sector.
With the latest round of cancellations, which follow others earlier this week, the unit of IAG SA will have pared about 13% of its schedule from April through October, it said Wednesday. Only short-haul routes are affected.
BA has been among the carriers hardest hit by a staffing crunch that’s being felt across the region, after dismissing 10,000 workers at the peak of the Covid pandemic. The latest move comes after the UK government waived rules that require airlines to use airport operating slots or lose them the next season.
