New Jerseys 3rd Congressional District Independent candidate Martin Weber is vowing to preserve the spirit and legality of the Second Amendment. The seat is currently held by Democrat Andy Kim.

The Second Amendment needs to be defended for the law-abiding citizens, said Weber. When you look at many gun owners here in the 3rd District, you see people who are hunters and those who use them for sport and recreation.

The candidate does recognize the calls by advocates to ensure there are reasonable regulations and background checks.

I firmly believe that if you want to own a gun, you should be trained, certified and registered, Weber said as he calls for creating a program that has individuals complete a one-time certification course in which they learn how to properly handle and maintain their firearm. You have people out there who buy a gun and injure themselves, sometimes fatally, while trying to clean it.

He said there is a role for such groups as the National Rifle Association and even retired military and law enforcement personnel to properly train gun owners.

Weber will be speaking at a Second Amendment rally that is being organized by 2nd District Libertarian candidate Jesse Ehrnstrom on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 290 Route 72 in Barnegat Township. Others scheduled to speak include Second Amendment advocate Anthony Colandro and 4th District Libertarian candidate Michael Rufo.
