In most states, the worst they\u2019ve had to deal with is a long line,\nor perhaps a government mandated waiting period. Oh and yup, the mental butt\nhurt that comes from realizing that their favorite 2A loophole (the internet,\ngunshows, the gun-fairy..) doesn\u2019t exist. You\u2019d think they\u2019d be pleased, except\nnow they\u2019re learning the hard way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/91498573_218406112740169_9147707241518858240_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/91498573_218406112740169_9147707241518858240_n.jpg 700w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/91498573_218406112740169_9147707241518858240_n-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in some States, it\u2019s even more difficult,\nwhich makes the residents of those States more at the mercy of their\nGovernment. Let\u2019s consider what the situation is in New Jersey, which vies with\nCalifornia to have the most restrictive death-grip on the 2nd Amendment Rights\nof&nbsp; its Citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In New Jersey, if you want to buy a firearm for the first time, you need to apply for and obtain a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njportal.com\/NJSP\/FARS\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cFirearms Purchaser Identification Card\u201d, the FPID card<\/a>. Getting one is tedious but straightforward, but usually takes around three months. So, right there, people who want to buy their first firearm in NJ as a result of this viral crisis are, as they say, S.O.L. So, no lines of frustrated gun-newbs in NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBUT!\u201d, you say, \u201cat least existing gun owners can get a handgun, all those over-under-only hunters and skeeters, can still protect themselves, right?\u201d Sadly, no; to buy a handgun, FPID holders must first get a \u201cPermit to Purchase a Pistol.\u201d Getting one (or two, or as many as you want), is tedious but straightforward and yes you guessed it, usually takes around three months. So, no handgun for you, Elmer; you\u2019d best resort to the Biden Protocol. Oh, you can only get one handgun a month, so too bad if something dramatic happens and you need more, like now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-940x627.jpg 940w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy-440x294.jpg 440w, https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Phil-Murphy.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Photo from Gov.

Enter villain number two, the NJ State NICS System. NJ is one of the states that gets between its gun-buyers and the Federal NICS system. Soon, the NJ NICS had a backlog of over 1,000 applications and then quickly announced that it was swamped and was unlikely to be able to process these in anything other than geological time. Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njportal.com\/NJSP\/NicsVerification\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Governor closed the NJ NICS system<\/a>, after not protecting gun stores and training facilities as essential, mandating their closure.

Per Executive Order 107, he is ordering the residents of New Jersey to stay home, directing all non-essential retail businesses closed to the public. At this time, the order includes New Jersey Firearms State Licensed Dealers. The New Jersey State Police NICS Unit is directing the vendor of the NICS Online Application (NICUSA) to turn off the NICS Online Services for submitting NICS transactions by eliminating the \u201cRequest Form\u201d button, effective 9:00pm EST, Saturday, March 21, 2020.

Hopefully, they will go forward\nfrom this viral crisis and obtain proper training on the safe and efficient\nhandling and use of their chosen firearms and hopefully, that will be happening\nall across our great country.\n\nIt\u2019s won\u2019t be happening in New Jersey though.
