POF’s new “Tombstone<\/a>” lever action chambered in 9mm. (Photo: POF<\/a><\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The second amendment is a \u201ccurse,\u201d according to the editorial board of the New Jersey Star-Ledger<\/a><\/em> in an op\/ed published on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opinion piece went on to claim that 300 people are shot each day in the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, in America, we continue to bleed daily, with an average of more than 300 people shot every 24 hours, including 22 children and teens,\u201d the article stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While citing those statistics, the editorial board failed to break them down. According to Fox News<\/em><\/a>, the CDC performed a study on gun violence last year but removed self-defense statistics to appease anti-gun activists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the statement that 300 people are shot every day can be supported, the absence of detail could prove to be problematic for the publication which has drastically shrunk<\/a> over the last decade due to changing media trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board claims that the June 2022 ruling from SCOTUS<\/a> makes it easier for anyone to bring lawsuits against the state for any attempt by the governor to “sharply limit where guns can be carried in New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Where you have fewer guns and stricter laws, you have fewer gun injuries and deaths, research has shown. Yet while most people are solidly on his side, the law may not withstand legal challenges,” the article stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The editorial board suggests we use Canada as a model for gun control in the US.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They have no Second Amendment, no constitutional right to gun ownership. Guns are treated the same as any other consumer good that the government can regulate,\u201d the editorial board stated in the article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NJ radio personality, Harry Hurley, took issue with the op\/ed and responded with his own opinion on the WPG<\/em> website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo call the 2nd Amendment a \u201ccurse\u201d is an outrageous and unserious comment. It\u2019s also radical in nature,\u201d Hurley said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurley offered his perspective on whether or not the SCOTUS decision had a negative effect on gun safety legislation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make it harder for the New Jersey state legislature to pass gun safety legislation,\u201d Hurley said. \u201cWhat it does is make it hard to subvert a constitutionally provided right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Star-Ledger<\/em> editorial board argued that the 2nd amendment is no longer applicable because gun violence is a public health and safety issue.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The core rationale is that we need guns for self-defense, but what we have is a public policy in which nearly 49,000 people a year are killed by guns and nearly 400 million firearms flood our streets \u2013 more than one for every citizen,” the article stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hurley took umbrage with the statement and called the 2nd Amendment \u201cunambiguous.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Canada, they have the governmental authority to restrict gun ownership in any manner of their choosing,\u201d Hurley lamented. \u201cConversely, in The United States of America, the right to bear arms is a Constitutionally protected right and not a privilege.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
