TRENTON — A half-dozen bills designed to further tighten New Jersey’s gun control efforts were passed by the Senate Thursday and sent to Gov. Phil Murphy, who said he will sign them quickly.
The bills would set out new rules for
seizing guns from people deemed to be dangerous, reduce the allowable
ammunition magazine size from 15 rounds to 10, require background checks
for private gun sales and put a regulation into law putting a strict
threshold to be met to receive a gun-carry permit.
Sweeney said he didn’t know if more gun-related bills would be on the Statehouse agenda.
“We’ve done a lot. Listen, it’s New
Jersey, who knows?” Sweeney said. “I would like to look at our gun laws
and be fair to lawful gun owners, too. Because, you know, the people
that aren’t breaking the law are the ones that we’re passing a lot of
these laws on, to be honest with you.”
