Democrat Phil Murphy, New Jersey’s new governor, made it clear this week he is onboard with turning a number of gun control proposals into the Garden State’s newest gun control laws.
Murphy, elected on a platform that included “getting tough” on guns, gathered with like-minded advocates at the Betty and Milton Katz Jewish Community Center in Cherry Hill to talk about “combatting gun violence” through a series of bills pending in the legislature to expand background checks, make it harder to get a carry permit and ban a variety of ammunition, guns and devices. Murphy acknowledged that the proposals likely would have been rejected by former Gov. Chris Christie.
“Together, we can pass gun safety laws that have been vetoed in the past and reclaim our place as a state that acts on facts and common sense,” Murphy said in a statement. “We must again become a state that values the safety of our residents and communities over the misguided priorities of the gun lobby.”
Among the legislative package supported by Murphy is A2757, which would require background checks on private gun sales; A2758, which curbs past moves by Christie to make it easier to get a carry permit; A2759, to ban “armor-piercing” ammunition; A2760, to ban .50-caliber rifles; and A2761 to limit gun magazine capacity to 10 rounds.

This twerp would crap down his leg the day the guys with guns didn’t show up to cover his @$$ every minute of every day.
Anytime you see the words “common sense” used by a liberal, you can be sure that some more of your freedoms will be going away.
Wow. And what a day he picked. He must have had a crystal ball or just dang lucky. These will go through I am sure. NJ is gone.
NJ wants to lead the communist states in tyranny.
I make it a point to use “common sense” whenever I’m talking to a liberal about freedom.
More gun control laws??? I have a friend who has been waiting over two years to hear about his permit for a handgun.. He has since moved from NJ and moved down south. He has a CCW permit and a range on his new property!!!!! When does the insanity of the Left stop???????
In other words, he’s going to pass laws that criminals have no intention of obeying.
[He has a CCW permit and a range on his new property!!!!! ]
God’s little acre. I envy him.
[In other words, he’s going to pass laws that criminals have no intention of obeying.]
The left has no intention of stopping criminals. They sympathize with them and look at them as a dependent constituency.
They hate you because you follow the laws and work for a living.
I am really starting to look forward to having a civil war with these Commies. It will be over fast.
Agree with you wholeheartedly.
Law-abiding taxpayers ain’t fleeing the state fast enough apparently.
The harmful trash in the USA mostly harkens from the 3rd worlders, illegals and liberal elite that tend to park their butts in NYC, NJ, CA, IL, etc. They use liberal media propaganda to destroy our culture of freedom via PC and unconstitutional controls over our rights. Sorry if this offends anyone but it is the truth.
Yeah, it's like their euphemism "investment" for bureaucratic money pit.
One question, Phil, would any of those change the murder rate in Camden in a positive fashion? ‘Nuff said.
Describes what I’ve seen happen in this region for the past 3+ decades perfectly.
