NRA Condemns New Jersey’s Misleading Domestic Violence Bill
Fairfax, VA [via AmmoLand.com] Domestic violence is shameful and those who commit violent acts against domestic partners should be harshly punished. On that point, there is firm conviction and agreement. That is why it is all the more troubling when politicians in Trenton are focused on perpetuating a failed agenda instead of getting serious about a serious issue . . .
S. 805, sponsored by state Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37), is a recycled version of a bill that was vetoed last session by Governor Chris Christie. S.805 is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Law & Public Safety Committee on Thursday, March 9, at 10:30 a.m.
This bill is not only a repeat from last year, it is a template bill as part of a nationwide agenda being pushed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group. What proponents of the bill fail to tell you is that New Jersey already has some of the toughest domestic violence laws in the country, in addition to federal law.
Even more unforgivable, the proponents of S.805 have completely ignored real legislation that would enhance penalties on convicted violent abusers. <a class="colorbox" href="http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2014/Bills/A4500/4486_I1.PDF" target="_blank" …Read the Rest
