A3717 (S2492) Requires Submission of certain mental health records to National Instant Criminal Background Check System. Introduced 1/28/13 by Pamela R Lampitt, Troy Singleton

STATEMENT

This bill requires the State to submit certain mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

The United States Department of Justice established the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for federally licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks on prospective gun purchasers. The NICS attains or accesses records from state police, local police and other agencies to determine if the prospective gun purchaser is prohibited from owning a firearm. The NICS relies on states to submit this information. As a result, if the states do not submit the information, the NICS database will have incomplete or inaccurate records, thereby allowing some individuals to purchase guns who should be prohibited.

This State has begun the process of implementing an electronic system to submit mental health records to NICS, however submission of these records is not mandatory under current State law. The provisions of this bill would make the submission mandatory.

 

HERE'S A BIGGIE!!!!!!!

A3707 - Establishes Ballistics Identifier Program for Certain Firearms - Introduced by Joseph Cryan

STATEMENT

This bill directs the Superintendent of State Police to establish a ballistics identifier program which law enforcement agencies can utilize for investigative and prosecutorial purposes.

Under the provisions of the bill, no person may sell or transfer a handgun and no licensed retail dealer may sell or transfer a rifle unless a ballistics identifier has been obtained for that firearm and that information has been entered into a qualified database maintained by either a federal or State law enforcement agency and available for investigative and prosecutorial purposes. If the manufacturer or wholesaler of the firearm does not provide certification that a ballistics identifier has been obtained and incorporated within a qualified database, the seller is responsible for obtaining a ballistics identifier for the firearm. To obtain such a ballistics identifier, the seller must transport the firearm to a regional center where the State Police will determine the particular ballistics identifier for each firearm. The cost of ascertaining a firearm’s ballistics identifier is to be borne by the State Police. To help defray the transportation and other administrative costs, retail dealers are to receive $5 for each firearm they bring to the State Police for processing at a regional center.

The bill also directs the superintendent to establish a voluntary ballistics identifier program for existing firearms owners. To inform New Jersey firearms owners about the program, the superintendent is to develop and undertake a public education campaign.

Finally, the superintendent is directed to issue a report every other year to the Governor and the Legislature. The report is to include information concerning (1) the number of handguns and rifles processed for ballistics identifiers at regional centers by the State Police; (2) the number of handguns and rifles processed under the mandatory ballistics identifier program and the number processed under the voluntary ballistics identifier program; (3) the number of criminal investigations during the reporting period in which ballistics identifiers played a role; and (4) any other information or data the superintendent may deem appropriate.

A "ballistics identifier" is defined in the bill as a digitized or electronic image of a bullet and shell casing fired by a handgun and clearly showing the distinctive firing pin, ejection, extraction and land marks for that particular handgun or rifle and which can be utilized, through comparative computer analysis, for investigative and prosecutorial purposes by law enforcement agencies.

Funding for the program is to come from the moneys the Attorney General annually obtains from the forfeiture and disposal of property seized in criminal cases.

This bill imposes an additional five percent retail tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition.

SCR136 (ACR63) Urges President and Congress of United States to Enact assault weapons ban including prohibition against large capacity ammunition feeding devices. Introduced in Senate on 1/28/13 Robert Gordon, Richard Codey sponsors.

 

This resolution urges the President and Congress of the United States to enact an assault weapons ban including a prohibition against large capacity ammunition feeding devices.

The federal “Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994” which included provisions that banned the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices expired when Congress failed to reauthorize the act in 2004.

Assault weapons have been used in some of the nation’s most horrific crimes including the recent tragedy in Arizona in which six people were killed and 13 others, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, were injured.

Recognizing that assault weapons pose a serious threat to law enforcement and to the safety of the citizens in New Jersey, in 1990 New Jersey enacted legislation banning assault weapons and certain large capacity ammunition feeding devices.

Christ. I really don't want to give up on this state, truly I don't, but the odds are that something they put through will stick. I can see all of those FPID things sticking, including the increased fees.

We just posted the list with sponsors in the NJ2AS forum. Sorry for the duplicate topic.

The tax has nothing to do with saftey it's just a way too squeeze more money of out a specfic class of people, in this case shooters. As far as the ballaistic testing, they had this in NYC and also in MD and it's a complete and utter waste of money, NYC dropped it about 6 months ago because not one crime was determied by the once fired shell casing that had to be provided to them, to fud it cost millions a year. MD is the same not one crime ever linked or resolved by the program. There is no way they are going to run complete modern ballistic testes on each firearm for $5.00 or at the cost of the state, those are forensic tests that cost hundreds.

 

More moronic NJ Dem B.S.

They're literally throwing crap and seeing what will stick.

It all comes down to the 8th folks. If you value your ability to keep and bear arms within the borders of this State - you'll be in Trenton on the 8th.

Any chance of getting a special question on next years ballot to limit introduced laws from the legislature to 6 to help curb further damage to its citizens?

The whole bit about guns unloaded and stored was shot down in Heller and won't pass constitutional muster.

Not just the 8th folks. We need pro-2A and pro-gun represented at each and every one of the Bills when brought up in their various legislative sessions to give testimony to the committee against the Bills! THIS is the most effective pressure to be exerted.

[Tango Charlie 0]

I think that our calls, emails, letters, and faxes are getting to them. Why else would they keep coming up with more bill proposals? Perhaps they realize that we're not going to give up or relent so they keep pushing stuff out in the hopes of making something stick.

 

Never give up!

[YankeeFan 49]

Is there anywhere that has the entire list of bills? I saw one thread say there were 23 bills and now this one says 11 more...that's a total of 34 bills? HOLY SHIT!

These are ALL new. Tack them onto the list of the 23 I posted a week or so ago. Some duplicate the same desired end result with soem careful tweaks to basically try and get through to the same end via a different path. They are slinging everything to get something to stick. This is why it's critical to show up at the sessions for these Bills and give testimony against. If you've never seen how Bills get passed, it will floor you how quickly politicians yield their pens without a blink of an eye if the room is quiet!

It is funny , I has anyone else noticed the "how are we going to enforce these new laws??" comments from local police and troopers in recent media interviews. There is barely enough funding to get things done at the moment, what happens next is Mr Police man going to come knock on my door to check if firearm XYZ is locked and unloaded?

[cigarsnscotch 0]

I guarantee that they propose obscene dollar amounts for the FID cards and Pistol permits to try and deter someone from bothering. That one about locking and having an unloaded weapon in your OWN HOME is fuggin ridiculous. All of these bills are ridiculous.

 

I'll be there on the 8th and will continue to email/write, but thankfully I will be out of this POS state and in SC for good this summer.

It is funny that you say SC, my wife likes NJ and how close everything is but last night she asked what I thought about living in SC where she could shoot more often. Range fees alone here are crazy let alone all the gun laws currently on the books.

All the politicians mentioned above are democrats, hopefully any time we refer to someone we also mention their party, and hopefully people working for public unions will realize that their union dues go to electing these same democrats.

As far as I know, union dues cannot be used for political purposes without your consent. My union asks for contributions for their Political Action Committee. I don't support their candidates so they don't get my $$$.

 

I must admit I am baffled by these proposed bills. Some are completely asanine. Most are an attempt to limit our rights through extra taxes and more hoops to jump through. I would love to see the number of crimes committed by people that went through all the hassles involved with getting a FPID/pistol permit.
