Murphy Proposes New Ambitious Gun Control, Safety Measures for New Jersey
NBC Bay Area ^ | Mike Catalini

Posted on 04/15/2021 6:58:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The proposals come after shootings again made headlines across the country, including in Colorado and Georgia, and after President Joe Biden ordered a series of gun control measures.

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy on Thursday called for a dozen new gun control measures, a sweeping election-year agenda aimed at tightening laws already considered among the toughest in the nation.

Murphy unveiled the measures in Newark, the state’s largest city, during a more than an hourlong, rally-like event in a crowded community center. The Democrat-led Legislature will weigh in on most of the measures, and in a sign of legislative support, influential state lawmakers like state Sen. Teresa Ruiz and Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald attended the event and spoke.

Newark-native Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver’s voice cracked as she lamented the gun violence that has disproportionately affected cities. Half of the state’s deaths from guns last year came in just five cities, according to Murphy.

“Newark-native Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver’s voice cracked as she lamented the gun violence that has disproportionately affected cities.”


But it’s not really ‘gun violence’ that’s causing the problems, is it? It’s city-residents’ violence. But nobody really wants to talk or doing anything about that.

New Jersey is one of only six states which have no state constitutional protection of the right to keep and bear arms.

"Gun violence" is an Orwellian term.

"...Half of the state’s deaths from guns last year came in just five cities,..."

They'll get that balanced out just as soon as lots more high speed public transits can be built and new single-family dwellings can be outlawed under bidet's trillion dollar fiasco...

Blatant oportunists seeking to punish and restrict people who have done nothing. Using people to push an agenda against those who are not criminals.

It’s city-residents’ violence.

Ooooh “sweeping.” The media loves something when they use that word. They used to use “broad” also. But the feminists objected.

The Rats lament the violence that plagues the Rat-run cities where the inhabitants are encouraged to terrorize the communities.

Officials say 80% of the guns on the streets of New Jersey come from out of state, and much of the effort is combating the problems in communities of color where most gun crimes occur.

"So let's punish the parts of New Jersey that don't have any problems, and punish people who don't vote for us."

(At least there is one encouraging fact that I learned:"According to the New Jersey State Police, 442,214 handgun permit applications were filed in Nw Jersey in 2020 - a 332% increase from the 102,270 filed in 2019.")

How in the world does a venomous snake like Murphy get elected to anything anywhere? Voters in America have lost their minds.

Every single proposal there is utterly useless. Like Murphy.

According to a friend of mine in NJ he promised to legalize pot. So far he hasn't lifted a finger to do so. She also said his Republican opponent was such a weak-kneed RINO he inspired no support from conservatives.
