Gov. Phil Murphy was pleased after a New Jersey Senate committee on Monday approved a host of new gun control measures.
The seven bills would strengthen background checks, establish various mechanisms to expand gun seizures, cap magazine capacity to 10 rounds, ban “armor-piercing” ammo, and largely outlaw unregulated firearm components such as “80 percent” lowers.
Murphy, a Democrat with an agenda that includes additional gun regulation in a state that already has some of the strongest in the nation, welcomed the news that the New Jersey Senate Law and Public Safety Committee greenlighted the legislation.
“As gun violence continues to plague our country, New Jersey will lead the way by setting a higher standard for gun safety,” Murphy said in a statement. “I look forward to the full Senate voting on these bills as soon as possible to combat the public health crisis of gun violence.”
