HIGHLAND PARK, NJ- Some jurisdictions just don't get it. Even after the United States Supreme Court struck down a New York 'gun control' bill, some localities are doubling down on their anti-gun efforts.

One such example is Highland Park, New Jersey, where the Borough Council proposed a new law which would significantly limit where guns could be carried.

The bill, which was introduced earlier this month, would prohibit anyone from carrying a gun, concealed or otherwise, in public buildings to include borough and school spaces, according to MyCentralJersey.com.

Those measures included requiring additional training, registration limiting ammunition, and prohibiting .50cal rifles. .....
