Murphy proposes big hike in N.J. gun fees as some push to relax firearms laws

[ShooterInPA1]

For the third year in a row, NJ 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.

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.
