shotguns - as in "real guns" as opposed to everything that if used to
commit a crime in NJ would make the crime a "gun crime".


Different strokes...

Here in Texas you can walk down the main street in Houston carrying a rifle
or shotgun, or drive around with one in the rear window of your pickup. You
can buy and own as many guns as you want, no registration of a person or
weapon is allowed.

There are more cats in the United States than dogs, but fewer cat owners.
That's because you can't have too many cats. It's the same with guns; there
are (estimated) 240 million guns in the U.S., but most gun owners have more
than one. If my family is representative, there are about 2,488 actual gun
owners in the country.
