| On Monday, December 19 at 3:00 p.m., the New Jersey full Senate is scheduled to vote on A4769 /
S3214
, carry-killer legislation previously passed in the Assembly to do an end-run around the U.S. Supreme Court’s Bruen decision and unlawfully block carry in nearly all common public places. This is the last stop before this legislation
reaches the governor's desk
.
Among many other things, this legislation would unconstitutionally:
-Ban carry in common public places by labeling them as “sensitive places.” Includes parks, beaches, restaurants, theaters, stadiums, arenas, and many other common public places.;
-Ban carry inside one’s own car;
-Ban carry at public gatherings;
-Ban carry on all private property automatically, unless the property owner specifically posts notices specifically allowing it;
-Significantly increase fees for purchaser credentials and carry permits, discriminating against low-income citizens;
-Mandate liability insurance (which may not even be available) as a pre-condition to exercising carry rights;
-Mandate a new training requirement beyond the already-difficult one that has existed for many decades;
-Use past online posts as grounds to deny purchase and carry permits;
-Allow denial of permits based on purely subjective factors like someone’s “character” or “temperament.”
To add insult to injury, the latest amendments to this legislation now create an elite class of public officials who can carry without having to first obtain a permit, and who are not bound by "sensitive places" restrictions that apply to everyone else.
PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CLICK HERE
TO CONTACT EVERY NJ STATE SENATOR. Tell them to PLEASE VOTE NO ON A4769 / S3214 ATTACKING RIGHT TO CARRY IN VIOLATION OF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT’S BRUEN DECISION. THE SUPREME COURT HAS SPOKEN, AND RIGHT TO CARRY MAY
NO LONGER BE DISRUPTED OR INFRINGED BY STATE LEGISLATURES. IF PASSED, THIS LEGISLATION WILL QUICKLY BE OVERTURNED BY THE COURTS AND THE STATE WILL BE FORCED TO PAY THE SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL FEES OF THE GUN RIGHTS GROUPS
CHALLENGING THE LEGISLATION.
