New Jersey's Premier Second Amendment Organization ~ Defending Freedom Since 1936

SENATE COMMITTEE PASSES REMAINING BILLS

3 Bills Dropped From Agenda

 

2 Gun Owner Protection Bills Passed

 

The Fight is Far from Over – Keep Calling Legislators

After a 2-hour hearing yesterday (May 2) that was considerably less heated than the April 30 hearing, the Senate Law & Public Safety Committee passed all 7 pieces of gun legislation that were before it. Three bills were dropped from the agenda, and two significant gun owner protection bills were passed.

Several of the bills from both hearings have been placed on the agenda for a Senate Budget Committee hearing on Thursday, May 9, where Senate leadership has indicated it intends to make limited amendments in response to concerns raised at the hearings. Then, it is anticipated that the entire package of bills will be heard by the full Senate on Monday, May 13. Anything that passes will then have to be reconciled in the Assembly, and bills that emerge from that process would then move to the Governor’s office.

Please turn your attention away from the Senate committee and refocus your efforts on your own State Senator and Senate President Stephen Sweeney (contact information

available here

). Please call, email and fax repeatedly and urge them to oppose all new gun control measures. Gun owners can still impact the outcome of this process – please keep calling!

Also, a major gun owner rally in Trenton

is being planned

for Saturday, May 11.

Dropped from yesterday’s committee agenda were

S2648

– possession on school grounds;

S2471

– prohibits state pension investments in certain firearms companies; and

S2735

– exempting tube fed .22 firearms from New Jersey’s assault firearms ban).

Significantly, two gun owner protection bills were passed in response to the outcry from gun owners:

S2721

– clarifying "reasonable deviations” permitted when transporting firearms in New Jersey; and

S2552

– protecting gun owner information from public disclosure.

Here is the full list of bills that were passed in committee after this week’s hearings (note: most current versions are still not available online as this email blast was sent):

I guess if we can't repeal the "straight to-and-from" then being allowed to go peepee is the next best thing...?

But yesterday the anti's were portraying it as "Putting the gun in the car and running errands all day" and trying to get it removed.

Why do people think that the simple act of possessing a gun makes someone unstable?

 

It blows my mind and makes me so effing angry.

I am quite surprised that this is the first thread on this. We have been discussing this all day yesterday...

 

The worst was one of the women who said that it will allow people to carry a gun in their car when they're going to buy a gun in Pennsylvania... as if we can't do that already.

What a concept, actually being able to legally pick up and drop off your friends on the way to or from the range.

did i read S2723 right ? fid goes away to become part of your DL and you would only need to have a pistol permit embeded on your DL that would be valid until the DL expires...how would that work? you get a PP from your local pd and present it to DMV when you renew your DL ?...

I hope this state somehow disconnects from the mainland and sinks into the ocean.

Here we are, looking for the peanut in the turd.

 

These people, that we elect, are traitors.

 

A revolution need not involve bloodshed, we have the vote. We now need to educate the masses. Although they are many, we can make a difference because I believe that our cause is all free people's cause. We need to wrench the conversation away from the agenda-filled media.

S2723– Replaces FID card with driver’s license data strip; mandates training as condition of firearms ownership; ends all private sales; electronic reporting of ammunition sales; etc.

 

This is the bill that concerns/impacts me the most. It has huge cost (new taxes), privacy impacts. It also makes it impossible to conduct private face-to-face transactions. To me these are the best grounds to fight it with. EVERYONE is clamoring against new taxes so adding the infrastructure and bureaucracy this bill requires should not be a priority right now. In addition, even the M-T amendment to the federal bill allowed private transactions.. The state should continue to allow that while following the guidelines estasblished by the NJSP (COE..etc).

I laughed at that one too. The mentality is really amazing. If you have a gun in your posession you could go postal at any moment....
