Reasonable gun laws would have protections against these unreasonable outcomes.

| The left's view of the world is that they only want reasonable gun laws, and that all the laws they've passed are reasonable. It's hard to find one they think isn't reasonable. | If that's true, then there would be no examples of unreasonable outcomes; reasonable laws have checks against abuse. These examples disprove the reasonableness of gun controllers and their laws. While they have never been able to offer any observable positive effects of their laws, or consequences when eliminating them. |
Examples
- 2010.07 Todd Doering - A Lansdale, Pennsylvania, resident was arrested when he crossed the border with a gun in his car. He bougth somethihng in a (Logan) New Jersey store, but despite a right to carry in his own state, NJ didn't recognize it, didn't let him off with a warning, and convicted him to two years probation & $100 fine (until pardoned years later by Governor Christ Christie (R)).
- 2013 Shaneen Allen - A Pennsylvania resident (Shaneen Allen) drove into New Jersey and was pulled over by police for an DWB (driving while black), and offered that she was carrying a concealed firearm (licensed in her state), so she was thrown in jail for 48 days, and faced a decade in prison for her mistake. NJ doesn't recognize PA's conceal and carry licenses, or common sense.
- 2015.02.13 Charged for owning an antique gun - Gordon VanGilde got pulled over and the police found a 250 year old 1700s era flintlock the collector had just acquired. In any other state a curio/antique gets exceptions, but in NJ a gun is a gun (there was no antique exemption), so they charged him with owning an illegal weapon. When attention came to the case, they dropped the charges, but didn't fix the law.
- 2015.06.28 Brian Fletcher - A tower climber from NC organized his crew in under an hour for storm caused disaster relief in NJ. While waiting between tower jobs a NJ police officer asked what they were doing and he explained, and informed the officer that he had a legal firearm in his vehicle. New Jersey doesn't recognize the 2A, so they arrested him, gave him $25K bail, and 36 months probation.
- 2015.07.14 Elizabeth Griffith - Liz didn't know that her Florida conceal and carry didn't apply in New Jersey, so she was arrested and facing 10 years in prison for her mistake. Governor Chris Christie (R) pardoned her to get around the unreasonable law.
| 💭 What's Reasonable? |

| What is reasonable when it comes to gun laws? I explain what it takes to be compliant with a few gun laws so that readers can decide how reasonable these laws are. Now I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, so don't take this as legal advice. But these are just a small sampling of the 20,000: local, state and national gun control laws that every owner must know and comply with, under the legal concept of Ignorantia juris non excusat (Ignorance of the law is no excuse). The penalty for infraction is often a felony conviction, ruination and loss of gun rights by hyper-aggressive DA's who hate guns or want to get elected to higher office on the fraud that they're helping public safety. Or worse, the laws aren't enforced and teach both sides contempt for them. If any of these laws seem silly, annoying, or ineffective, you will begin to understand why gun-advocates mock and resist “reasonable gun control” and the legislators who create them. |
