sounds to me like enough people in jersey have guns (the wrong type people, that is...)
seriously...i don't think having a shootout at the jersey turnpike (couldn't think of anything of note in jersey) would be the answer. I agree with most who have responded: it's not exactly a 1 solution problem. I think it will take a social change and a community involvement over just arming citizens randomly. heck, the neighborhood i live in now used to be a drug riddled/crime riddled area where gunshots were heard on a daily basis...and after some community involvement and a definite commitment by the people to kick out the bad elements, it's one of the fastest growing/safest neighborhoods around the town.
amazing what a different group of people can do to an area....[/end smarkiness]
