| GUN BILLS STALL IN SENATE COMMITTEE |
At today's meeting of the NJ Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, S120 (increases penalties for leaving firearms within access of a minor) was not heard and the bill was "held." Our sources indicate it was held because anti-gun lawmakers intend to pursue more aggressive legislation on the subject instead in the future.
Also, a hearing began on S746 (prohibits firearms ownership for mere "disorderly persons" offenses toward animals), but after fundamental questions were raised about the scope of the bill, the legislation was also "held" and the bill sponsor agreed to go back to the drawing board on it.
ANJRPC will continue to monitor for further developments on both bills and will issue additional alerts as needed.
