Threat To New Jersey Gun Owners Medical Privacy with new bill S568

Interview by Devorah

With each passing legislation at lightening speed in New Jersey, and with limited to no public interaction (which appears to be intentional), each legislative bill proposed has been stripping away our fundamental rights: our God -given, Constitutional, civil rights.

In my interview with Mr. Scott Bach, Executive Director, ANJRPC, I asked several questions relating to the current and pressing concern over the bill S 568, which is set to, yet again, violate the medical rights and privacy of gun owners.

The Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs is a statewide organization representing the rights of all New Jersey gun owners. Mr. Bach full legislative alert is found here as well as posted below following the interview. People interested in reaching Mr. Bach can email him at: defendfreedom@earthlink.net Here is his response.

What has made it difficult in educating the public that their civil rights is Constitutional and legal; and yet it is treated as if it is the opposite?

"People are being tricked into giving up their rights by those trying to implement a global socialist agenda in which people are subject to the will of the state instead of the other way around. Especially in liberal New Jersey, many folks have swallowed the lie. Our job is to shine light on the subject and wake up as many people as possible to resist that agenda."

Tell us a bit on how you became involved in creating this medical alert?

"We send out many legislative alerts to gun owners on bills that are actually moving, and this was one of them. The implications of this bill for medical privacy and restoring gun rights to those who have genuinely recovered were far-reaching. It was basically an attempt to nullify what expungement actually means (a fresh start), and create a permanent stigma that can be used to block gun ownership for the rest of someone's life, regardless of their recovery."

Do you feel there is a bias on gun owners? and Why?

"The bias against gun owners is blatant, systemic, and far-reaching. To some in government and the courts, the Constitution can simply be ignored when it comes to the rights of gun owners, and a different set of rules applies. Respect for the Second Amendment in New Jersey is gone among bureaucrats."

What is the most pressing thing you would want the public to be informed about protecting our Second Amendment?

"People must ask themselves why government works so hard to extinguish gun rights. The phony claim that law-abiding citizens are made safer by more gun laws (which criminals ignore) is cover for a deeper agenda, which is to remove citizens' ability to defend themselves and their country against those trying to undermine it."

“People must ask themselves why government works so hard to extinguish gun rights.”

PLEASE TELL LAWMAKERS TO FIX OR OPPOSE S 568
Simple Fixes Could Resolve Issues for Gun Owners
and Help NJ Avoid Returning Millions in Federal Grant Monies

On Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 1:15 p.m., the NJ Senate Law and Public Safety Committee is scheduled to consider S 568 --legislation that would inject law enforcement into the process of evaluating whether someone has recovered from mental health issues and should be given an expungement so they can receive NJ firearms credentials. The bill would violate medical privacy laws by disclosing protected information to law enforcement, and jeopardizes millions of dollars in federal grant monies that NJ might be forced to return for blatantly violating such laws.

Medical privacy laws of gun owners must be respected, and personal opinions of non-medical personnel about someone's fitness to own firearms are irrelevant and should not be considered. Records should be expunged based on the opinions of medical professionals only, and the fact that an expungement has been given may not be used as a basis to deny a subsequent application for firearms credential (a longstanding issue that defeats the very purpose of expungements -- to clear someone's record after they have recovered and remove any lingering stigma).

Please tell members of the Senate Law and Public Committee and the bill sponsor to either fix or oppose S568. Potential amendments could include (1) excluding law enforcement opinion and speculation from the process, solely limiting law enforcement input to records of pre-existing written incident reports; (2) limiting requests issued to law enforcement so they do not expose that the purpose of the request is connected to medical issues or an expungement related to potential firearms ownership; and (3) clarifying that expungements and expunged records cannot be used as a basis for denial of any firearms permit or license.

I’d Give These 7 Responses To Media/Democrat Debate & Hearing Lies. How Would You Do It?

By Seth Grossman

Obamacare forces everyone to buy insurance for procedures we don’t want and don’t need.  Health Insurance was very affordable when we were allowed to buy “Major Medical” policies that covered major and unavoidable injuries and diseases.

#1.  Obama’s “Affordable Care Act” is NOT affordable, and made health insurance much  more expensive for most Americans.  That is because it forces Americans to buy insurance for many expensive treatments they don’t want and don’t need.  Like “gender reassignments” and abortions.  It is also used to hide the true cost of massive legal and illegal immigration.  Finally, Obamacare is too expensive because it is like auto insurance that would cover oil changes and wiper blades.  Health insurance used to be affordable when Americans were able to buy “Major Medical” plans.

#2.  Democrats rarely mention that most of the 214,000 American deaths from Coronavirus were in March and April, the first two months.  That was when American health experts were duped into following wrong protocols by the World Health Organization (WHO).  That was also  when doctors did not know how to treat this “novel” coronavirus, and often made it worse.  Communist Chinese labs and hospitals at Wuhan lab studied this virus for months, if not years.  However, China never shared what it knew with the rest of the world.  We learned only later that the Chinese Communist regime used the UN World Health Organization (WHO) to mislead the world on how to respond to coronavirus.  The Chinese Communist regime also used its influence with the media to  discredit methods used by Taiwan and Hong Kong to successfully control the virus until it was too late to use them in America.  We  and the rest of the world were forced to waste two months learning what China already knew.  China, not Trump,  caused needless infections and deaths during those first two months.  Trump and US health officials acted quickly, but could not act instantly.  That point was made in the report of the investigation of the plane that landed in the Hudson River (as shown in the movie “Sully”).  “Simulations after the fact falsely assumed an instant decision to act. . . (in safely landing the plane at the nearest airport.) However, in the real-world, a time delay is required to assess the situation.  . and decide on a course of action”.   Once we did that, Americans came up with better tests and treatment than any other country in the world.  The rapid decline in cases and deaths is proof of that.

This 1989 book explains how virtually anyone can succeed in America today.  Proponents of “black history” and “black lives matter” teach the opposite.  They promote attitudes and habits of victimhood designed to make people fail.  This is bad for most blacks, but good for Democrats who need their votes.

3.  There is no “institutional”  or “systemic racism” against blacks in America today.  There is no “white privilege”.  People of all races can and do succeed just by completing high school, taking any job at first, and getting married before having children.  The only victims of “systemic racism” in America today are whites, Asians, and Jews who are denied jobs and scholarships because of “diversity” goals and quotas.

In 2019, Jussie Smollett, star of the TV Drama “Empire” staged an elaborate fake hate crime in Chicago.  There is evidence that he spoke to leaders of the Democratic Party besides doing it.  His obvious motive to stir up hatred by blacks against whites in general and President Trump in particular before the critical 2020 election.  When Chicago police found evidence that Smollett faked the incident, they filed criminal charges against him.  Cooke County Prosecutor Kim Foxx promptly dismissed those charges after speaking with high ranking Democrats.  One of them was Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to Michele Obama.  A special prosecutor later reinstated charges against Smollett, but no others.

The “anti-racism and antifascist counterprotesters” described in the headline were actually Antifa thugs.  They were the first to arrive at Charlottesville, Virginia.  They came to destroy or damage its statues of Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee.  Others came to peacefully protest in defense of the statues.  When this attracted national media, several dozen “Tiki Torch” boys arrived from around the country.  They made outrageous racist and Jew-hating statements, gave Nazi salutes, and carried Nazi-like Tiki-Torches to attract media coverage.  The national media eagerly gave the Tiki-Torch boys the celebrity status they craved  so Democrats could smear anyone who defended the statues.  They then interviewed President Trump about the situation.  Trump denounced the neo-Nazis, but said there were “good people on both sides” of the statue issue.  Democrats and the media have falsely accused Trump of saying there were “good people” among the Tiki-Torch boys ever since.

4.  “White Supremacists” have not been a serious problem in America since white Democrats lost political control in the South 50 years ago.  Democrats falsely talk about the “Tiki Torch” boys of Charlottesville, Virginia three years ago as if they are a threat today.  Those “Tiki Torch” boys are so few and insignificant that nobody saw or heard from them before or after August of 2017.  We only know about them because the media gave them non-stop TV coverage to embarrass Trump during a slow news cycle when Trump was gaining support.  There is so little racism by whites in America today, that fake hate crimes by Democrats like Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace far outnumber real ones!  The “Proud Boys” is a rowdy group of multi-racial men “who are not ashamed to be men”.  They are not “white supremacists”.  Video evidence proves that 17 year Kyle Rittenhouse, was in Kenosha, Wisconsin helping a business owner put out fires.  He only shot in self defense.  He was NOT a “white supremacist” or part of a “militia”.

This rant about policing in America has lots of bad and offensive language.  Please do not view when around others.  However, it has a lot of truth.

5.  Police are not a threat to blacks in America.  Almost nobody, white or black, is shot by police today unless he or she attacks an officer, resists arrest, or fails to follow simple police instructions.  In a civilized society, disagreements over whether an arrest should take place must be settled in a courtroom, not out in the street. Breonna Taylor was a tragic, but rare exception.  However, she and her boyfriend were heavily involved in criminal activity which was very dangerous because loaded guns were always around to protect large quantities of drugs and cash from other criminals as well as police.  Most police shootings in black neighborhoods take place when blacks are victims of crimes by other blacks and  call police for protection.

The earth has been gradually warming ever since the Ice Age ended 10,000 years ago.  So has the planet Mars.

6.  “Climate Change” is NOT an “existential threat” or even a problem.  The earth’s climate has changed for billions of years.  Pennsylvania is filled with coal that proves it used to be a tropical swamp.  Most of New Jersey was once covered with giant ice sheets.  They melted with the earth started getting warmer 10,000 years ago.  The new probe on the planet Mars shows that planet is also getting warmer.   So far, scientists do NOT know how much, if any, additional warming is caused by humans, or what we can do about it.  Obviously, bringing millions of legal and illegal immigrants is not helping to preserve “open space” in America!

Last year, former President and First Lady Barack Obama paid $12 million for this estate by the water in Martha’s Vinyard, Massachusetts.  Would they have done so if they thought “climate change” and rising seas were an “existential threat”?

7.  The California fires were NOT caused by “climate change”  They were caused by arson, carelessness (including that “gender reveal” party), and poor forest management.  Hurricanes are NOT more severe because of “climate change”.   They just seem that way because the government and the media now give much more attention (and names) to minor storms that were once ignored.   Also, they seem more destructive because more people are now living closer to the ocean.  If homes by the ocean are threatened by rising seas from “Climate Change” why are they so expensive?  Why did Barack and Michele Obama pay $12 million for a waterfront mansion in Nantucket, Massachusetts?
