The “Garden State” is overrun with weeds.
* 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.
(End result: people will not seek mental health. Nice going.)
* 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.
(I can't even comment on this. I didn't have to show a "need" in my state, but I had to write a letter describing why I wanted to conceal carry. I guess not much difference. But on the face of it, who should have to justify their self defense?)
* 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.
(Typical. This is their approach.)
* A2759, which will create an outright ban in the state on possessing armor-piercing bullets.
(Stupid, feel good legislation, "See! We are doing something about guns! We aren't the bad guys!)
* A2761, which will ban magazines in the state that hold more than 10 rounds, with some exceptions.
(Even stupider, feel good legislation, "See! We are doing something about guns! We aren't the bad guys!)
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
(Is this a major problem? Will this impact my ability to assemble a custom Garand? Didn't know about this one.)
UPDATE - Each of these was signed by the “Governor” on Wednesday during a highly publicized ceremony. Check my tagline.
It’s the east Germany of the Atlantic coast.
