NJ. Gov. Murphy with pen in hand...

[xXxplosive]

The bills were introduced this month by Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald, who met with Murphy and representatives from gun safety organizations last week to discuss gun violence in New Jersey and reforms needed to ensure the safety of all New Jerseyans.


"Throughout my time in the Assembly, I've worked to keep our communities safe from gun violence. I've sponsored legislation to lower magazine capacity to 10 rounds, supported smart gun production and sales in state, worked to create gun buyback programs, and pushed for stronger background checks," said Greenwald. "I am proud to have an ally like Governor Murphy working hand in hand with the legislature as we work to end gun violence and ensure New Jersey is a safe place."

The bills would do the following:

•A2761 - Reduce maximum capacity of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds; exempts firearms with .22 caliber tubular magazines from 10 round limitation.
•A2758 - Codify regulations defining justifiable need to carry handgun.
•A2757 - Require background check for private gun sales.
•A2759 - Prohibit possession of ammunition capable of penetrating body armor
•A2760 - Revise definition of destructive device to include certain weapons of 50 caliber or greater.

Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, appearing with Murphy on Tuesday, said "enough is enough" regarding gun massacres.

"We're here to put our words into action," he said. "To ensure that our schools, our communities, our workplaces, remain safe from violence, we're here to do what is within our collective power to ensure that the unspeakable horror that took place last week in Parkland, Fla. never repeats itself ever again.

That was pretty much my first thought. Almost ALL centerfire rifle ammunition will penetrate L3 body armor.

WTF is wrong with those idiots?

It's just mind boggling that anyone could believe any of that crap.
