RAMSEY RESIDENTS SAY "NO GO & NO GUNS" to Indoor shooting range, gun club and retail store @ 69 Spring St.

  • by: Chance P
  • recipient: Mayor Dillon, Borough Administrator: Mr. Vozeh, Ramsey Planning Board, Ramsey Zoning Board, Council Member Joseph Verdone- Building Planning & Zoning, Council, Ramsey, NJ

It has come to the attention of Ramsey Residents that an application for a indoor shooting range, gun club, retail store and restaurant has been submitted for 69 Spring Street in Ramsey NJ. We, the Ramsey Residents signing this petition vehemently oppose the application and this type of use in any commercial space within the Borough of Ramsey.

We urge the Mayor, Council, Planning and Zoning Boards to take the necessary action required to DENY any and all applicaitons for a shooting range in the borough of Ramsey. 

UPDATE:


We greatly appreciate your support and opposition to this Gun entertainment destination proposal of The Screaming Eagle Gun Club. What we REALLY need now is your financial contributions to fund our legal defense and retain the services of Municipal Land Use attorneys, Traffic Engineers and Urban Planners to scrutinize and object to the Planning Board Application details and specifics.

Please contribute what you can-UNITED WE STAND, divided we fall!! THANK YOU!!


Ramsey is a small borough (6sqmi) with a population of under 15,000 known for it's quiet, safe neighborhoods, quaint downtown and small shops of Main St. Under no circumstances was there any provisions nor intentions in our existing Zoning or Planning to accommodate a business such as a 60,000sqft indoor firing range, gun club and retail store in our high density, fully developed borough. 


Aside from the negative sigma and violent association of guns in our community our opposition is based on:


-Adversely and negatively affecting property values


-Adversely and negatively affecting local businesses


-Adversely and negatively affecting the brand of Ramsey


-Adversely and negatively affecting the quality of life in Ramsey


-Compromising public safety


-Creating an unnecessary burden for Ramsey Police Department that requires addition resources to assure public safety while putting RPD officers in the untenable position of having to decipher NJ’s complex and convoluted gun laws with both NJ and NY state armed residents converging on Ramsey.


This is NOT a 2nd Amendment Issue.  This is a conforming use issue. 


DO WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE RAMSEY A DESTINATION FOR GUNS?? NO WE DO NOT !!!

Hello Ramsey Residents and Supporters of Safe-Gun free communities,
It has been brought to my attention that there have been several instances of unwelcomed, direct, confrontational and intimidating contact made by Pro-Gun supporters. I want to instruct everyone to DO NOT ENGAGE, IGNORE, DOCUMENT and TELL SOMEONE including Ramsey Police Department. We will not waiver, be bullied or intimidated. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
