Murphy's attacks on gun owners fail, at least for the previous legislative session
Many of you received this today, but I'll post the text here. We have, as the article notes, won a short break in the action.
Thanks to all who emailed and called! Be ready for more of the same in 2022.

GOV. MURPHY'S ANTI-GUN BILL PACKAGE
FIZZLES AS LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDS
Thanks to Gun Owners For Making the Difference!
January 11, 2022. Thanks to an overwhelming outcry from law-abiding gun owners, Governor Murphy's much-touted anti-gun bill package fizzled as the 2020-2021 legislative session ended. Your efforts made the difference, and the current outcome proves that no matter how overwhelming the odds, no matter how futile it may seem, the outcome of every legislative battle is never written in stone and the collective effort of gun owners and sportsmen can make the difference.
That being said, a new two-year legislative session is now beginning, and the anti-gun bill package will likely be resurrected all over again as the session unfolds. But in this upcoming session, new national standards could be set by the U.S Supreme Court (in the pending right to carry case) that greatly clarify the boundaries of what is permissible generally in laws restricting Second Amendment rights. That could affect misguided proposals like Governor Murphy's, which fail to punish gun crime and instead restrict the rights of honest citizens who have nothing to do with crime.
In the meanwhile, gun owners should enjoy a well-deserved short break in the action, as the legislative session resets and the gradual bill introduction process begins all over again. Enjoy the moment, but be prepared to go into action once again in the not-too-distant future.
