Re: NJ: Death in gun free New Jersey

Camden NJ, generally vies for title of most deadly city in the US. Across the river is Philadelphia.

Suppose you work in downtown Philadelphia, I'm sure the traffic is not great, so an enterprising pioneer might think to him or herself, I could buy a neat place across the river in Camden for very little money and make a life for myself there.

I then envisioned earlier pioneers, setting out from the East coast headed West to seek their fortune in the wild West. Now imagine if those early pioneers were not allowed to bring a gun with them to settle the untamed wilderness West of the Mississippi.

So it is with Camden. There are no pioneers willing to move across the river, where only the criminals can have guns.

While in New York, I visited the area around the former World Trade Center. There were a number of construction sites there. At the construction sites, there were usually 3 to 4 Port Authority police officers at the single construction entrance, a security company ran the entrance, complete with metal detectors and those full height bar turnstiles that every workman or visitor went through.

I'm not used to that level of security at a job site, especially in a area that is gun free.
