• New Jersey: Assembly Committee Advances Gun Control Bills
  On Monday, December 15, the Assembly Judiciary Committee passed a pair of bad gun control bills along party lines. NRA-ILA testified against S.1425/A.3789 and A.6211, and interestingly, there were no witnesses calling for passage. Despite the lack of support, the one-sided debate ended in 4–2 votes to advance both bills, with both Republicans on the panel voting NO. These bills do nothing to enhance public safety. The first bill is a swipe at gun dealers, and the second bill is a response to the Bruen decision by anti-Second Amendment lawmakers in Trenton. Please contact your Assembly member and respectfully urge them to OPPOSE S.1425, A.3789, and A.6211.
