the reality is that many people in this area don't feel as if their rights are being trampled. When I complain to colleagues about the hurdles required to get a firearms permit in NJ, the most common response is "good, I'm glad it's difficult to get a gun."

When I respond that it's NOT difficult to get a gun illegally (which is what the "bad guys" do) and that the tough laws primarily serve to make it difficult for law abiding citizens to obtain firearms, people scratch their heads and nod slowly when the undeniable logic of it sinks in.
