Nj: Murphy proposes big hike in state gun fees
Murphy proposes big hike in state gun fees
http://starledger.nj.newsmemory.com/?publink=2b67515fb
STATEHOUSE
Blake Nelson For The Star-Ledger
For the third year in a row, Gov. Phil Murphy has proposed big increases to more than a dozen gun fees in New Jersey.
Murphy’s push for higher fees in his proposed state budget follows a series of bills he’s signed adding new restrictions to gun laws that were already some of the toughest in the nation.
The move also comes as some are pushing back against restrictions, especially after recent attacks like the Jersey City shooting left many feeling vulnerable.
Murphy is asking lawmakers to raise the cost of a $2 gun application to $50, and a firearm ID card from $5 to $100, according to the state’s treasury department.
The Democratic governor also proposed a 2.5% tax on firearms and a 10% tax on ammunition.

My friends still in the Garbage State buy all of their ammo and clays at the nearest Walmart in PA though they now need to visit the nearby local gun shop for pistol caliber stuff before crossing back over the river to the land of no freedoms..

New Jersey gun owners be like " I'm a republican but we do need more gun laws, who needs a gun that can shoot a hundred bullets just to kill a deer?"
Corruption is the default behavior of government officials. JPC

I'm still looking to move back to the land of the free in 2021. A little piece of me died on November 7 2018 when my Pennsylvania LTCF expired. I had hoped to open carry when in PA, but Wolf's unending opioid state of emergency ended that.
Yep. New Jersey Dems have a supermajority in each house, so this, and several other bills entered, including a bill to reduce the definition of a so called assault weapon to one evil feature (the detachanle magazine) has nothing stopping it.

This is going to happen eventually at the Federal level, gun control without it actually being gun control.

Just like when they went after the "Saturday Night Special". Only people that are affected are poor people who may very well need the protection the most.
