“These are bi-partisan supported, common sense bills that will aid us in putting an end to gun violence and helping New Jersey continue to be a safe place to live, work and, especially, grow up in,” said Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald soon after the bills passed. (Photo: NJ Assembly Dems)
A massive package of a half-dozen anti-gun measures from the New Jersey Assembly cleared the full Senate on Thursday and are headed to Gov. Phil Murphy, who is ready to sign them into law.
The bills include a seizure measure to remove guns from those thought to be threats, a move to trim magazine capacity down to just 10 rounds, enhancing background checks, banning “armor-piercing” ammo and slamming the door on efforts by former Gov. Chris Christie to make it easier to get a gun license. Murphy, who ran for office last year on a ticket replete with promises to get tough on guns in a state that already has among the strictest regulations on legal firearms in the country, was pleased.
“On Wednesday, I’ll sign these bills into law, establishing some of the toughest gun laws in the nation,” Murphy promised on social media soon after the package was approved.
