THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS: New Jersey law would ban many common hunting rifles. If I lived in New Jersey, I could soon become a felon, as my old (~60 years, as my Dad gave it to me on my 10th birthday) Remington semi-automatic .22 would now be an 'assault weapon' because it has a greater than 10-round tubular magazine.

Interestingly, my new Henry .22 lever-action rifle, also with a greater than 10-round capacity, would not be banned (and I can fire it nearly as fast as I could the semi-automatic). And I can easily make a 'speed loader' for it out of a piece of 3/8" I.D. plastic or metal tubing.

The anti-gun nuts are indeed 'nuts'.

UPDATE: PowerLine notes that it's a litmus test of sorts for NJ Gov. Chris Christie.
