| NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE PASSES ANTI-GUN BILL PACKAGE |
| Please Contact All Legislators Immediately |
December 13, 2021. This morning, the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee passed Governor Murphy’s anti-gun bill package that does nothing to punish gun crime and instead attacks Second Amendment rights of honest citizens. Although several legislators expressed “concerns” about issues raised by gun owners, the bills were passed nevertheless, with opposition only from republicans.
The package of bills now moves to the full Assembly for consideration, which could take place as soon as Monday, December 20. The bills must also be passed in Senate committee, and then in the full Senate, before they can get to Gov. Murphy’s desk. As of the time of this alert, only two of the bills in the package are scheduled for a hearing in Senate committee (firearms storage and registration for new residents). It remains to be seen whether the remaining bills in the package will be taken up by any Senate committee. Please immediately contact all members of both the Senate and Assembly by clicking here, and tell them to VOTE NO! on Murphy’s entire package of attacks on gun rights. Tell them that not one of these bills punishes violent gun crime, but instead they attack the Constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights of honest, law-abiding citizens who are not the problem to begin with. No one will be made safer by any of these schemes, but the rights of ordinary citizens will instead be severely diminished. Please watch for further updates and alerts as the battle unfolds.
