5/21/18: NJ Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee considered and passed multiple anti-gun measures. Please urge your Senator to OPPOSE these gun control bills! •#S102 by Sen. Majority Leader #LorettaWeinberg (D) is a magazine and gun ban. This legislation would ban magazines with a capacity greater than 10. We all know magazine bans do nothing except punish law-abiding gun owners because criminals by definition ignore laws. This bill would put honest citizens in jeopardy during violent criminal attacks and would subject them to prosecution for possessing what is currently legal property. This bill would turn the majority of NJ’s 1 million gun owners into felons overnight. •#S160 by Sen #VinGopal (D) would allow for suspension of gun rights by unaccountable “health professionals.” This bill goes so far as to allow marriage counselors, social workers and nurses to cause suspension of your legal rights. •#S2376 by Sen #LindaGreenstein (D) codifies NJ’s “justifiable need” standard for the issuance of concealed carry permits. The bill is a striking blow to the basic fundamental right to self-defense outside the home. It creates a standard so onerous that nobody can meet it, hence the issuance of permits in NJ is close to non-existent. •#S2245 by Sen #FredMaddenJr (D) bans handgun ammo which is already banned under federal law. This bill does nothing to improve public safety and is a classic example of the asinine nature of NJ gun laws as a whole. •#S2374 by Sen #LindaGreenstein (D) would require background checks on all firearm transfers. Again, this is redundant because all transactions in NJ require a background check. The private transfer of long guns requires an FID card and the issuance of that card requires fingerprinting, a background check and references, among other things. This bill does nothing except add another layer of bureaucracy and fees to an already cumbersome and duplicative process. •#S2465 by Sen #JosephCryan (D) would prohibit purchasing firearm components to unlawfully manufacture a firearm without a serial number. This bill has not been heard in the Assembly yet. #nj #njsenate #opposenewguncontrolbills #2a #nra #nraila #takeaction (at Bob's Little Sport shop)
