PROJECT VERITAS BOMBSHELL: GOV. MURPHY
WITHHOLDING NJ VACCINE MANDATE
UNTIL AFTER ELECTION DAY!
 
 Would a New Vaccine Mandate
Also Be Used to Attack Gun Owners, Ranges & Stores?
 
October 26, 2021.  Project Veritas has just released hidden camera video of an adviser to Gov. Murphy's re-election campaign indicating that Murphy is deliberately withholding a NJ vaccine mandate until after election day on November 2, to avoid losing the support of independents and moderates in the election.  Click here to see the video. The video implies that Murphy plans to impose a sweeping and unpopular statewide vaccine mandate after the election.

If this is true, the implications are far-reaching for every New Jerseyan, and among the many issues raised are questions about whether and how Murphy might use it as an opportunity to once again attack gun owners, ranges, and gun stores.  In 2020, Murphy used pandemic executive orders as an excuse to literally shut down gun stores and ranges, but he backed down and reversed himself three times when ANJRPC challenged him in court.

Could a vaccine mandate be used to threaten shooting ranges and gun stores if they allow unvaccinated persons on the premises or to remain members?  Could ranges be forced to close if they refuse to follow Murphy's dictates? Could gun owners be prevented from obtaining permits, new firearms, or transferring used firearms if they are not vaccinated?  How else might Murphy once again use pandemic policies as a convenient excuse to attack the Second Amendment?

In normal times, these questions might seem farfetched. But we are not in normal times, and Murphy already has a track-record of exploiting the pandemic as an excuse to attack the Second Amendment.  Gun owners should keep these questions in mind when they head to the polls on November 2.
