link Subject: OPPOSE Murphy's Unconstitutional Budget Dear Assembly and Senate Representatives, I write you today to urge you to OPPOSE any of Governor Murphy's unconstitutional fee increases on the free exercise of the Second Amendment in his 2025 Budget Proposal. His outrageous plan to make up state deficits on the back of law abiding citizens exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights is not only immoral, excluding all but those of financial means from their natural right, but also illegal. Under Governor Murphy's proposal, fees would increase 200% or more for: Firearms Purchaser Identification Card Application - $100 (Current Fee - $50 already increased 1000% in 2022) Permit to Purchase a Handgun - $50 (Current Fee - $25, already increased 1250% in 2022) Duplicate Firearms Purchaser ID Card - $50 (Current Fee - $0) Wholesale/Retail Dealer Employee License Application - $40 (Current Fee - $5) Retail Firearms Dealer Licenses Initial/Renewal Applications - $500 (Current Fee - $50) Manufacturer/Wholesale Dealers of Firearms Initial/Renewal Application - $1,500 (Current Fee - $150) Permit to Carry Initial/Renewal Application - $400 (Current Fee - $200 already increased 400% in 2022) NICS Check for Firearms Purchase - $45 (Current Fee - $15, $16 if it includes a handgun) The Supreme Court in the landmark NYSRPA v Bruen decision stated "...because any permitting scheme can be put toward abusive ends, we do not rule out constitutional challenges to shall-issue regimes where, for example, lengthy wait times in processing license applications or exorbitant fees deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry." Taxes on constitutional rights have consistently been struck down, as was the case in Murdock v Pennsylvania, Minneapolis Star Tribune v Minnesota and Harper v Virginia State Board of Elections to name a few. I urge you to OPPOSE these illegal fees, and prevent the additional cost to taxpayers that the state will undoubtedly face in legal challenges.

They don’t care. I still get emails back from those commies that say, “This message was deleted without being read” for things I wrote them about.

It doesn't matter if they care or not. By us sending them emails, letters or making phone calls we're letting them know where we stand and by their replies or lack of replies we will know where they stand on the issue. By not bothering to voice our opinions to the legislators or moving out of state wont solve the problems we face. Those violations of our rights will only be solved by those willing to stand up for what's right by defending and using our rights to petition elected officials. For too long people have skirted their civic duties and look where it got us here in NJ. The point is that we have to keep trying to right the wrongs that have become the norm here in this state. Is it a fool's errand? Maybe, but I'm not willing to give up and will continue to contact my legislators and advocate for a return of our lost 2a rights.

I don't believe any of them read emails. I send old fashioned snail mail letters.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bigford632: Sent - probably got 20 undeliverable though What folks are noticing is that not many legislators bothered to respond at all. Normally my mail box would be packed with automated replies. This time around I got less than 10 replies. Strange and definitely not good. Tomorrow I'll send some more emails and see if there's any difference. Instead of a mass emailing, I'll send individual emails to my local assemblyman and senator and then mass email 5 or 10 legislators at a time and see what happens. For those that haven't sent any emails, it's still not too late do so.  |
