Brady gang rallies for Democrat who stalked women

Sussex County Democrats and the Brady gang have come to the defense of Democrat Assemblyman Raj Mukherji.  Raj has little time for the Bill of Rights or the Second Amendment and he's been under attack recently for his role in trying to take away the ability of women and vulnerable adults to defend themselves against attackers.  Raj has a controversial history in this regard, as this video makes clear...

Earlier this week, the Sussex County Democrats enlisted the help of Bridgegate Mastermind David Wildstein in an attempt to take the focus off Democrat Assemblyman Raj Mukherji.  The Sussex Democrats released their statement Wednesday morning at 11am.

The Brady gang called for a rally the same day, after Assembly Democrats in New Jersey formally adopted President Trump's position in respect of the Bill of Rights.  Donald Trump said. "Take the guns first, go through due process second," and the Assembly Democrats agreed, passing Assembly Bill 1217 out of committee.  Raj Mukherji is a key proponent of this legislation.

Trump made his comments at a meeting with congressional leaders on school safety.  Trump was responding to comments from Vice President Pence that families and local law enforcement should have more tools to report potentially dangerous individuals with weapons. 

Pence was taking the Bill of Rights into consideration, when he said:  "Allow due process so no one’s rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons."  To which Trump responded:  "Or, Mike, take the firearms first, and then go to court."

About the same time as Trump was making his controversial statement, the Democrats on the Assembly Judiciary Committee were passing the "Extreme Risk Protection Order" (Assembly Bill 1217),  which suspends due process based on a simple accusation.  A no-knock warrant could be issued, the door of a home or place of business kicked-in, and the property of someone who hasn't been accused of breaking any law seized -- just because a "family member" or "member of law enforcement" believed he or she posed a risk.

Conservative Republican Steve Lonegan offered the following testimony on Assembly Bill 1217:

"In 1971, a group of possibly well-meaning but misguided politicians imposed the Civil Authorities Special Powers Act, which allowed government to take away peoples' rights without charging them with a crime.  It was meant to be a response to violence, but only made matters worse in Northern Ireland.

In considering Assembly Bill 1217, the New Jersey Legislature should recall the words of George Will, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author, who reminded us of the dangers of 'overcriminalization.'  After the death of Eric Garner, which was the result of the New York Legislature sending in the police to enforce a state tax on cigarettes, Will warned legislators that there are potentially grave consequences every time they make a new law and then send in men with guns to enforce it.

Will said:  'Overcriminalization has become a national plague. And when more and more behaviors are criminalized, there are more and more occasions for police, who embody the state’s monopoly on legitimate violence, and who fully participate in humanity’s flaws, to make mistakes.'

Assembly Bill 1217 is open to abuse and has the potential to create many more situations with violent outcomes than those it seeks to prevent.  And, as written, there is no recourse or penalty if the law and its potentially violent outcome was triggered by a simple misunderstanding or a false or malicious report."

No president likes to give up power.  The last to do so, voluntarily, was Jimmy Carter -- and he did so under the shadow of the official criminality connected to the Watergate scandal.  President George W. Bush, President Obama, and President Trump have all expanded the state's power over the individual citizen.  The action by the Assembly Democrats reeks of the British government's desperate move to bring the Irish Republican Army to heel in the 1970's.  Instead of achieving their aim, they made victims out of innocent people and destroyed the reputation of their country's criminal justice system.

Let's not create a new set of victims like the Guildford Four -- only this time with names like the Newton Eleven or the Metuchen six or the Cape May seven...

This is how Republics perish.  This is how democracy dies.

Byram politicos push anti-Rights Brady resolution

In Byram Township, the political elite can at times be a tad weird.  No shit. 

Not so very long ago Byram had a town councilman named Rick Meltz.  The current Mayor spoke very highly of him and was rather shocked when Meltz got caught a few summers ago of planning to lure a woman and her daughter to a location so that he could... "snuff" them.

The Byram Councilman was part of a band of cannibal/rapists/murderers who conspired over a two-year period to "carry out the plots against potential victims, including infants."  A 23-page indictment outlined the charges against them.

Manhattan Attorney Preet Bharara called the accusations a "bone-chilling … chronicle of sadism and depravity that includes … very real steps to carry out … plans to kidnap, torture, rape, and kill the women and children they targeted". (Rueters, March 12, 2013)

"You want to hang the 9-year old," Meltz wrote in an email. "I would rather manually choke her but hanging is nice also."

Meltz served several terms as a councilman in Byram Township, was a Sussex County undersheriff until 1996 and ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 1998... (Star-Ledger, April 6, 2013)

Meltz was real popular with the political class in Byram.  It was said that Meltz possessed a great deal of what goes for "common sense" leadership in Byram.

Now for the latest "common sense" idea coming out of Byram:  Let's come out swinging against the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights.

That's right -- a month after a sex predator gets caught doing a home invasion that involves the sexual assault of two girls, let's try to make it tougher for the people of Sussex County to defend themselves and their families.

Why would you want to take away the ability to defend yourself when you have elected officials who get recorded by the FBI saying shit like this?

Meltz, according to the criminal complaint, touted his past experience killing women.

"As we said, murder is easy, getting away with it is not," he said in a phone conversation, according to the complaint. "The excitement and the adrenaline rush is incredible when you’re hunting some prey and they have no idea or concept that they’re being followed. They’re just in their own little nitwit world. They have no concept that within minutes or seconds they could be fighting a futile fight for their life." (Star-Ledger, April 6, 2013)

Heck, Byram is like the town of the walking dead -- guns are a must. 

So, whose bidding is being done by the Byram Township Council?  Well, it appears that the text of the resolution being considered this evening comes directly from the files of the leftwing Brady Campaign. 

You know the Brady people -- well intentioned, but lacking in practical application.  They want to see a world where gun ownership is limited -- like illegal narcotics are.  In practice this means that the law abiding won't have self-protection while the criminal class will have as much access to illegal firearms as they do illegal drugs today.

And this isn't good for places like Byram.  Because, heck, if the town's vetting process is so poor that the councilman and undersheriff is a madman intent on murdering your wife and eating your children -- you'll need a gun.
