There Is Nothing Better Than An Unregistered Gun
BY Herschel Smith
8 years, 5 months ago
At a Tuesday candidate forum in LD24, Assemblyman Parker Space, who is up for reelection this year, declared: “There is nothing better than an unregistered gun, believe me.”
The statement came after the discussion turned to current gun laws in the state of New Jersey. Space made it clear that he and his running mate Gail Phoebus “support the second amendment” and think there are already too many restrictions in place on gun ownership in New Jersey.
After Space made the remark, his opponent Democrat Michael Grace asked him if his statement meant Space had an unregistered gun.
“I’m saying is that when the liberals take over everything they are not going to be able to track you down and take your weapons away from you,” Space replied.
Grace called Space’s statements “extremely paranoid.”
Not long after these comments, one of the “moms” got her knickers in a twist.
I am extremely concerned about the statement “There is nothing better than an unregistered gun” made by Assemblyman Parker Space at the public debate for the state’s 24th Legislative District.
“There is nothing better than an unregistered gun” is an irresponsible statement that encourages a culture of lawlessness. It is shameful and dangerous, especially when it is made by a public official. With all the deaths resulting from gun violence, one would think that Assemblyman Space would be more sensitive in his public remarks. His statement is offensive to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence, to police officers who put themselves in danger to protect the public from criminals and to responsible gun owners who are law-abiding citizens.
Not only registering guns, but also expanding Brady background checks on all gun sales, is supported by 90 percent of Americans, including the vast majority of gun owners …
They don’t give up their lies easily, do they? I’m impressed with Mr. Space, and only two days earlier I had said to coworkers that I feel like people in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington, D.C. and I live in two different countries, and that I feel no kinship whatsoever with them.
I was wrong about Mr. Space, and one can only pray that there are more like them in his neck of the woods. But he made one slight error. Mr. Space shouldn’t hide his guns when the collectivists come to confiscate them. He should serve his fellow men by using his guns to shoot the collectivists in the face.

I’m glad I live in a State that does not register guns, make you ask for permission to buy one and/or make you wait to pick it up. The only think lacking here is open carry. 45 States allow it, but not SC.

Now that the FL Sheriff’s Asses have stopped lying about open carry! I just moved out of Fl to GA, and now enjoy open and concealed carry, as well as more citizen protections for their gun rights.

What’s up with SC not having CC reciprocity with none of it’s sister southern states?
This is something that has to be remedied.

It has reciprocity with NC where I live, but I think Georgia is problematic for some reason or other (perhaps that Ga doesn’t require a class?). Perhaps someone who lives in S.C. can weigh in. Talk to the S.C. state senators about this (who also listen to law enforcement). Better yet, get rid of the state senators and law enforcement.

Glad to see, that’s a fairly recent change isn’t it?
NC also has open carry, do you see much of it?
I’m originally from NC, but it seems to have gotten much more liberal since I left in ’83…..but that seems to be the situation in a lot of places.
If there isn’t a swing back to sanity soon…..well just cya, and all the best.

Yes – the cities and most surrounding counties have moved steadily blue. We’re trying to reverse the trend though. Maybe you can move back to help? :)
Regarding reciprocity; GA is good with NC, but not SC. Couldn’t find a specific reason why, unfortunately.
http://georgiaconcealedcarry.com/georgia-reciprocity/
For NC, both SC and GA are recognized.

For SC, once you move out of the state, or no longer own property in the state, the SC permit is invalid looks like.

Hope this helps.

After living through the 1960s where the Lefties shot , burned and bombed their way to power they have today . Then you can see why the Libtards want all the guns . We had of 20,000 bombings in the USA most at college campus’s . Then their was Kent State the original school shooting . The Libtards will have to rid themselves of my generation because we know how they used extreme violence to get what they wanted.

Herschel, I would disagree you in one particular. The only time I would go for a face shot would be with a 12gau scatter gun at close range. With a pistol or long gun I always aim COM.
I do have a tiny problem when practicing with my handgun (.40 cal either Uzi Eagle or Glock 22). For some unknown (to me at least) reason, at 5-7 yards I pull my shots 3′-4′ to my right. I’m OK up/down but a bit off to my right. I used worry about this until a range instructor in the stall next to me pointed out that at 5-7 yards the hole in the target (after 30 rounds there’s always a big hole approx 4″across) was pretty well centered over where the target’s heart would be. He said I only need to worry about it when shooting for score, otherwise fuhgeddaboudit. Is he right? (When I am shooting for score I aim left of COM)
Should I try and correct the problem. It’s only an issue with a pistol. Long guns I pretty much hit where I’m aiming.

But remember Billy, collectivists who come to confiscate your guns will probably be wearing SAPI plates to cover the whole body organs.

#4 buckshot to the legs does wonders for preventing accurate shot placement on their part. Shattered kneecaps, femurs, tibias, fibula’s or feet will put them down screaming in pain, where you can then apply the face shot. Then partake of all their gear, and if your lucky, their wallet, witch will contain their ID and specifically their address.

You may be cross-dominant (your dominant eye is opposite of your dominant hand). To check for eye dominance : focus on a distant object, “cover” with a thumb from an extended hand, close one eye, the eye that is still open & inline with the object is your dominant eye. The solution to cross dominance is either to train your non-dominant hand until you are proficient or alter your shooting stance so that you look down your dominant eye while shooting.

Jerking the trigger, need a surprise shot, from what I have read and seen with myself.

Try using the pad of your finger, not the knuckle. Too much finger will draw the muzzle to the right while squeezing the trigger.

At longer ranges you may miss by a wider margin, so fix it.
Sounds very much like a trigger control issue. You may be pulling the muzzle rightwards as you squeeze. Try dry fire (empty gun) and watch your front sight as it snaps. Make sure you are: only flexing the trigger finger and not any other; pulling the trigger straight back not at a slight sideways angle; holding the pistol centered in the web of your hand such that with a one-hand grip and arm straight, the barrel and your forearm are in a straight line with each other (helps position your trigger finger for a straight rearwards pull); pull gently and steadily and try to get a surprise break and see your sight lift in recoil and recover back down.

Mr. Space is RIGHT…
And if they can’t “find” the guns you don’t “have” will they still throw your butt in jail?
Probably, people have been imprisoned for lesser offenses. Soo… make it HARDER to not only “find” these non exsitence weapons, make a plan to disappear on you OWN terms……..

Sure, they will take what they find (helps to fund the operation, or provide scary-looking views to the cameras), but the objective is to disable you as OpFor, using economy of force as required. You will be made to love Big Brother.

I support proper enforcement of gun laws. For federal gun laws that would mean they are strictly confined to only federal areas and not the lands of the 50 states. The governments of the 50 states would then have to give up the presumption of federal privilege (based upon the imposition of an excise tax) in the making of arms and ammunition and drop ALL of their unconstitutional gun laws. We have extreme government lawlessness in the areas of guns.

I agree with your sentiments, but that constitutional horse has been long gone from the barn. The Feral Gov Polezi will do as it pleases, States and Sheriffs are irrelevant.
Formulate your policy from present reality, imo.

Mr. Space is correct. Information is power — and information in the State’s hands is there for that reason alone.

In reading this post it occurred to me that gun’s should be treated like your genitalia.
First it should only be brought out when there is an urgent need to use it and secondly the mere ownership of it shouldn’t be criminal but only the manner in which you use it.

Why is it that no one responds to a MomAgainstEverythinginEverytown’s frenzied cry for ‘registration’ with the instant question, “Why? What good would it do?”
‘Registration’ is just as useless as microstamping, and saving fired cartridges from new guns as did Maryland–right up until they recently realized it was a $5 Million boondoggle that had not solved a single crime. The number of crimes ‘solved’ by consulting a registration list of any kind is infinitesimal, because firearms last forever, are fungible, at times serve as a form of currency, and tend to pass from hand to hand. If a gun was recently purchased, all that need be consulted is the manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the selling dealer, all of which have records on the firearm’s progression from maker to user.
Finding a firearm at a crime scene usually indicates that the user had direct personal contact with the victim–so ‘whodunnit’ is easily solved. Finding out that a firearm was bought by someone at some point in time does NOT prove that that person was the user in a crime, but can only help in developing evidence to prosecute–IF that person hasn’t sold, lost, or been deprived of the gun feloniously by a later user. If firearm and felon remain at the crime scene, is it really important to know who bought the gun, or where it came from? In the case of straw purchasers, rarely is an offender prosecuted–because proving that the seller or transferor KNEW that the recipient was a prohibited person is nearly impossible.
Has anyone pointed out that Canada, our reluctant-as-to-guns northern neighbor, has found that their registration program has done virtually NOTHING in the way of crime solving or prevention, and that they are on the verge of eliminating the entire program, having already eliminated the long-gun registry portion?
All of this would be good ammunition during an argument with a Mom, although she/he wouldn’t understand a word of it, and would not believe it in any case.
