Dear Mr. Justjoe:

 

Thank you for writing to me about gun control issues in response to the

horrible tragedy we saw happen in Newton, Connecticut. I appreciate you

reaching out to me about your concerns with additional gun control

legislation.

 

Please know that New Jersey already has stringent restrictions on

firearms. We are ranked number 2 in the nation, only behind California,

in the Brady Campaign's state by state rankings on gun control. New

Jersey already bans the sale and possession of assault weapons and high

capacity magazines (more than 15 rounds to a clip). Our state also

requires that all gun purchasers submit to a background check through

the State Police and FBI databases. Right to carry permits are issued

on a strict basis and only if an applicant can demonstrate reasonable

need. I strongly encourage law enforcement at all levels to enforce

existing laws. I also believe that our children have been desensitized

to violence because of constant exposure to all types of violent media.

 

 

I welcome your continued input on matters of interest and concern to

you. Please do not hesitate to contact me about this or any other

issue.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Joe Pennacchio

Senator -- District 26

Sounds encouraging. But, you're right. Let's see how he actually votes.
