New Jersey : Surprise Gun Legislation Announced at Last Possible Minute

New Jersey – -(Ammoland.com)- FRIDAY NIGHT SURPRISE: At close of business last Friday, a special session of the Assembly Judiciary Committee for Wednesday, February 28 2018 to consider anti-gun legislation was simultaneously scheduled and announced.

The Assembly Judiciary Committee is scheduled to meet at 11:00 a.m. in Committee Room 11 on the 4th floor of the State House Annex on State Street in Trenton (note: the committee room could change).

The following bills are scheduled to be considered:

  • A2761 Magazine Ban: Reduces maximum capacity of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds
  • A2759 Ammo Ban: Prohibits possession of ammunition capable of penetrating body armor.
  • A2758 Kills Right to Carry: Codifies regulations defining justifiable need to carry handgun.
  • A2757 Requires dealer background checks for private gun sales.
  • A1016 Smart Guns: Establishes commission to approve smart guns; requires firearm retailers to sell smart guns.
  • A1217 Authorizes gun violence restraining orders and firearm seizure warrants.
  • A1181 Requires firearms seizure when health “professionals” think someone poses risk.

We will provide detailed analysis of these bills in a subsequent alert. In the meanwhile, please begin contacting members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee and tell them to vote no on these misguided proposals. Tell them that people intent on doing evil ignore hardware bans, and no one is made safer by them. Tell them that government’s failure to protect the most vulnerable among us mandates that government instead focus on protecting and empowering potential victims rather than targeting the rights of the law-abiding. And tell them that Constitutional rights cannot be stripped by government without due process. Contact the members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee.

Please plan on emailing legislators again next week with additional talking points, and please plan on attending Wednesday’s hearing in person.

Please forward this email to every gun owner you know, and if you don’t already receive alerts from ANJRPC, please subscribe to our free email alerts for the latest Second Amendment breaking news and action alerts.

Why can’t the federal government protect the Constitutional rights of its citizens in New Jersey?

A2757 makes no sense since a private pistol sale requires a purchase permit requiring a background check. So this legislation would require a background check on a background check.

Kinda explains why NJ is such a “schiff hole.”

These Anti-Constitutional CONTROL FREAKS are up to their old game/agenda of “LET’S DISARM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”.
We want to control what they:
think,
FEEL,
act,
live,
drive,
eat,
travel,
etc.
This COMMON SENSE – – – – – MADNESS – – – – MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The SCOTUS silence has in itself been an infringement on the 2nd amendment. Are they not here to defend ALL parts of the constitution? The flaws in this law are so numerous and dangerous that I wouldn’t know where to begin in addressing them such as a smart gn sold to a ignorant person doesn’t change any outcome.

We will fight and protest until we are blue in the face and ultimately lose. People believe idiots like Piers Morgan who says eliminating the right to own guns makes England safer when in fact the violent crime rate in England is almost twice that of the US. And fully 5% of the murders occurring in England occur with illegally obtained guns. Less than 10 per year occur with legally obtained guns. The problem is not whether the facts support gun ownership, they do. The problem is that the Democrats in office and the anti-gunners have no ethics whatsoever. I… Read more »
