New Jersey has some areas with a very high murder rate, but overall, the state is below the national average and the "safe" areas are way below the average.
Therefore, no thaw in New Jersey unless and until violent crime increases to the point that the anti gun crowd in the expensive suburbs feel a threat to their personal safety.
Not a rant, just the way it is.
