New Jersey Legislators Introduce 76 Anti-Gun Bills
New Jersey legislators have introduced no less than 76 new bills to regulate firearms, control the sale of ammunition, and tightly restrict gun ownership. We’ve summarized some of the most important new NJ gun-control bills below, and you can read the full list here. Legislators in the New Jersey Assembly pushed through 20 of 43 pieces of legislation last month. And New Jersey’s State Senators have been hard at work too, introducing dozens of other bills restricting gun rights. According to the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC), “the legislative feeding frenzy of anti-gun bill introductions by Democrats has steadily continued [with] no end in sight. Apparently, they won’t be satisfied until there’s nothing left of the Second Amendment in the Garden State.”

COMMENT: The above list is a wake-up call, and not just for residents of New Jersey. All readers should take a long, hard look at the above list. This is what happens when anti-gun politicians “pull out all the stops”. These proposed laws are not just about so-called “assault weapons”. Note the tight restrictions (and new taxes) on ammunition purchases. Note the mandating of “gun owner endorsements” on drivers’ licenses. Note the chilling requirements of “mental health screenings” and “in-home inspections”. Law-abiding gun owners across the country need to understand that these kind of regulations are now “on the table” and we can expect “copy-cat” legislation in other states….

Simply put these bills are worse than Australian firearms laws. This is what happens when communist anti-gun politicians get into power. And theres always a new tax stuck to it to administer all the new paper work.
These folks are relentless. They simply won’t be happy until the 2nd Amendment is completely abolished. Something that they won’t talk about (or acknowledge, for that fact) is that the Founding Fathers established the 2nd Amendment in part to keep governing bodies which want to overstep their duties from doing so. There are numerous documents from the era warning of just that & the dangers that come with it. I hope the people of NJ put their foot down to these propositions and simply say “Hell NO!” Rant off…
Requires handgun ammunition to be encoded with serial number. A3704.
How they gunna do this? I would say this law effectivly makes owning existing handgun ammunition impossible and as such stops anyone from shooting a handgun!
As an Australian, you are looking at the beginning of the end, make no mistake. This is the way it starts.
Soon you are asking permission to purchase, being told that certain chamberings are not allowed and that you can only have x number of rounds of ammunition. Then all of a sudden, using the lists of arms privately owned, the 50bmg or 338 becomes too dangerous, guess what? Someone is coming to your house to make sure you hand it over.
One state/City starts and every ‘me too’ legislator gets on board. And all of a sudden you aren’t able to buy ammo without showing your registration for a particular firearm! NSW Australia just started doing just that!
