Now here is a
lighthearted topic: gun control!
Quite the highly-charged issue in today's society, the second amendment grants
US citizens the right to bear arms. With all the media attention on gun
slayings, there is a strong debate on both sides of the gun. We had a
fascinating guest today who reframed the gun control topic into the rights for
the people and freedom of the people to protect themselves. Fascinating.
Today Jim and I spoke with Frank Jack Fiamingo. Frank is a retired businessman
who did not grow up around guns and did not give them much thought. At age 61
he was introduced to the shooting sports by his brother in Florida.
His journey began when he decided to apply for a New Jersey Firearms Purchaser
Identification card. New Jersey is one of the most over-regulated states with
regard to the rights that are supposed to be protected by the Second Amendment.
After having his background checked for criminal behavior, his mental health
records invasively searched and having been fingerprinted like a common
criminal, he began to look into the laws that are the New Jersey Firearms
statutes. He founded the New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS) in July of
2010 with nine other concerned individuals and now can boast multiple thousands
of members. Website: http://www.nj2as.com/
