Greets and saluts from the nearly frozen tundra of the NYC metro area. It’s apparently colder here in the NYC metro area than it was in much of Alaska. Weird how that works.

Meanwhile, on the firearms front, statistics out of NJ shows that there’s a limit as to what NJ (or NY or CT) can do to reduce firearms use in crimes or suicides, when nearby states or states down I95 have such lax laws that anyone can get their hands on guns.

Overwhelming majority of #firearms used in crimes in #NJ come from out-of-state: PA, NC, VA, GA, SC, FL http://t.co/CQjYRU0OUc

It once again speaks to how most firearm crimes and suicides are committed with handguns, not long barreled guns, let alone AR-15s.
