How to make a shitty idea even shittier
In New Jersey, they are looking to pass a bill that will allow the confiscation of property from people who have illegal guns:
The legislation, sponsored by Assemblyman Louis Manzo, D-Jersey City, authorizes the forfeiture of “motor vehicle, building or premise” if a firearm is found in it that is not possessed legally per state law – “even if the firearm was not possessed by the owner of the motor vehicle, building or premise,” states a summary of the bill, A3998. The legislation was introduced Thursday.
Manzo pointed out his bill extends government power now reserved for targeting those in possession of illegal drugs.
And the drug war is going so well. And, depending on the definition of illegal, this could be quite problematic. This is New Jersey and whenever the technology exists guns that aren’t smart guns will be illegal.
Update: I apparently need to start reading Ravenwood earlier. He’s on it.

As if New Jersey needed another reason to be considered one of the worst shitholes in the country.
