Governor to Sign 6 Bills Stripping Citizens of Gun Rights (New Jersey)

On Wednesday, the governor is expected to sign a package of bills approved by the Democrat-controlled Legislature — a few of which received wide support from Republicans.

The following bills are sitting on Murphy’s desk:

* A1217, which will create restraining orders in the state allowing family members and others to ask a judge to have a person’s guns seized and ban them from buying weapons for up to a year.

* A1181, which will mandate law enforcement in the state to seize a person’s guns if a mental health professional determines they pose a threat to themselves.

* A2758, which will strictly define that state residents need to show a “justifiable need” to obtain a permit to carry a handgun — meaning they must show they face a specific threat to their own safety.

* A2757, which will require all private gun sales in the state to go through a licensed dealer who can perform an additional background check at the point of sale.

* A2759, which will create an outright ban in the state on possessing armor-piercing bullets.

* A2761, which will ban magazines in the state that hold more than 10 rounds, with some exceptions.

A seventh gun control bill would ban “ghost guns” that are assembled with untraceable components. That measure (S2465) was passed 37-0 in the Senate but has not yet gotten a vote in the Assembly

I support those rules in NJ. And when the violence only goes UP, it will offer dramatic proof that gun grabbers only care about grabbing guns.

Let NJ liberals drop their masks and show what liberals all around the country REALLY want! Every Democrat who says, “Common sense gun laws” WANTS to follow NJ.

And Missouri.


Crazies aren’t in control in here. Political trend is 180º opposite of the other states you cited.

The point is, backing further and further into a given state isn’t going to save the country from being destroyed by cancer.

It needs to be addressed differently.

The disease is terminal and cannot be cured other than by death before a new beginning, a rennasiance

I treasure the day I moved from the Northeast. It was similar, in feeling, to the Russian Jews who escaped the Soviet Union for Israel — to which I claim relation, being as my father descended from Russian Jews.

That may be true. I just think that a state that tries to retreat further and further into its own border is going to be cured by death as well, as well as the entire country.

Just my opinion. It is a terminal disease from within, not from without.
