Assemblyman Dave Rible on Gun Bill and Gun Control

a couple other quick things that's going on that i have been working on if you've been paying a little bit of attention to what's going on the tragedy in connecticut was truly a devastating factor uh but as a result gun control has been about the top of the discussion and one of the things that really came out that really irked me more was out of rochester new york a couple weeks ago newspaper decided to publish all the ad names and addresses and the guns that people own that were legal for men on it i mean if people who abide by the second amendment did the right thing apply for the permits bought their guns bothered with the local law enforcement authority did what they were supposed to do this newspaper decides to print them aside from printing law-abiding citizens you also think you've got to think about secret service fbi local law enforcement state police they all have municipalities for them to be law-abiding citizens purchase a gun they have to go to the same process as any of us would have to go through you have to go to your local police department get your permit the other names and address are being published now you're talking about retaliation coming out of the jails people are going up to jail guards now saying i know where you live we know we know what the guns you own and in new jersey specifically we had state commission of investigation done on gangnam committee in jail where the gang members are retaliating and intimidating jail guard members and it's really discouraging because you know first off it takes a lot to want to work in a jail and be a jail a corrections officer but the fact to sit there and be intimidated and humiliated and i mean to a point where i i had private interviews with people where gang members were coming up saying i know what time your daughter gets on the school bus and they're attaining the location and the time now as a father of a six-year-old that would rip i would want to rip someone's head out uh and you know that's full disclosure so what these guys are going through these men and women are going through it is to have their names and addresses published it's horrific so in new jersey we have a regulation it's not a law that the information does not have to be released basically new jersey regulation you change with the stroke of a pen throughout the administration so i've introduced legislation senator singer is going to do this on the senate side that would actually codify the regulation negative law so no future administrations can ever come in and change this and say you know what that's a good idea let's let this information become public so it's just banned in so many different ways and we were talking earlier before if you if you're paying attention about the whole idea of what was going on in new york they had a um there's already been one burglary in a home that was listed in the paper that had that was a gun owner and their gun safe was tried to pry they tried to pry the gun safe open again is it related we don't know but it's just coincidence that their name and i guess was published in the paper two weeks earlier and then there was a burglar at the house so just it's just another way one protecting the people but it's just a really good uh long public public safety issue that we should be working on and i was invited to go on cnn to talk about my bill and they called me up it was on the cnn headline news and they i was on at 10 o'clock in the morning it was so funny because they said we just want you to come on talk about your bill like that's it yeah i just want to talk about your bill so i'm sitting there they put me in a room i got the headphone on i'm by myself because i'm in philly and they're going out of atlanta all of a sudden gabby gifford comes on from arizona and then the most anti-gun woman comes on about gun control i'm like i'm like they're not talking about my bill i had to change gears real fast because they came after me saying you know i was wrong and they're right that all this information should be published well i think what's going to happen you're hearing so many different talks uh the president united states is now talking about maybe doing an executive order because he don't want he doesn't want to deal with congress on gun control to try to override it um constitutionally i don't know where he stands with that i would have to think that he doesn't have the ability to do that um you know you're talking about the second amendment here number two is in new jersey there's been a whole host of laws have been introduced the question is um how fast they move them again you're coming into an election year so you have a republican governor democratic-controlled houses they're probably going to put the bills up to make republicans vote either against the gun control so they can say the republicans want guns in everybody's hands as they always do or two they're going to say that um and then put the governor in a hard spot whether he signs or vetoes i can tell you as a police officer as a retired police officer i don't know when they talk about a seven i don't know where the clarification is on some of the legislation when you're talking about a seven round magazine i mean most police officers carry a minimum of 15 rounds so i mean they have to have that fire power and i don't know how you're going to limit the citizens not you know how they're going to do that would it's just you know i just think the gun control is getting a little bit out of control we need to take a deep breath and do the right thing and i think i think one the common denominator that comes out of it all is a psychological background and i think that's something we need to be focusing on most primarily is who's getting who's gaining these guns and how are they getting them you know and if there is a change in behavior somewhere along the line with a gun owner then put it on the only of the doctor to make that notification that this person is no longer stable i'm sensing a problem and let them let the state police deal with it from that respect but you know as a retired police officer i have the permit i have a permit to carry and i have to fill out paperwork every year and they do mental health checks on me they do everything they do the entire run every year once a year to make sure all my records are clear so i mean if they can do it for me they can do it for everybody think that's what this is all about it should be for discussion because i mean right there's one good point there's something we should be looking at but no one's discussing that aspect they're just talking about just limiting the guns let's just go after their guns right away on behalf of our membership i want to thank you for
