| New Jersey: Gun Rationing Bill Heads to Senate! | | | | Tuesday, June 24, 2008 | | | | Please Voice Your Opposition Today! Yesterday, A339 passed out of the full Assembly in New Jersey by a vote of 47-28-4. This bill would prevent law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one handgun within a 30-day period. This gun rationing scheme falsely assumes that criminals will follow the law by submitting the proper paperwork and purchase firearms from licensed dealers. A339 will do nothing to stop the criminal misuse of firearms but would criminalize the purchase of more than one handgun a month by law-abiding citizens who have already undergone extensive background checks and fingerprinting. This anti-gun bill, spearheaded by Assemblywoman Joan Quigley (D-32), implies that law-abiding citizens who purchase more than one-gun-a-month are gun traffickers. This bill will now head to the Senate. Please contact your State Senator TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to oppose this attack on our Second Amendment Rights.

| Wall Township Seeking to Destroy New Jersey’s Hunting Heritage! | | | | Wednesday, August 20, 2008 | | | | Please Attend the Township Committee Hearing on Wednesday, September 10! In an attempt to further erode New Jersey’s rich hunting heritage, the Wall Township Committee passed on first reading an ordinance that will prohibit a person from having a loaded firearm or nocked arrow while within 650 feet of any building, school playground or municipal park. Current New Jersey statues set the limit at 450 feet. This 200-foot increase will dramatically impact your access to hunting and will encourage further restrictions in the future.
On Wednesday, September 10 the ordinance will be considered for final passage. Please attend the Wall Township hearing and voice your opposition to this unnecessary and restrictive regulation. The hearing will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Wall Township Municipal Building located at 2700 Allaire Road. If you are unable to attend, please call the Township Committee at (732) 449-8444 and respectfully urge the Committee to oppose this ordinance. | |

| New Jersey: Wall Township Abandons Anti-Gun Proposal! | | | | Thursday, September 11, 2008 | | | | Thank You for Standing-Up and Making Your Voice Heard! On Wednesday, September 10, the Wall Township Committee abandoned their proposal to prohibit the carrying of any loaded weapons or nocked arrows within a 650-foot buffer zone from buildings. This ordinance would have gone above and beyond the state mandated 450-foot buffer zone and would have set the precedent for further hunting and sporting regulations.

| New Jersey Court Sides Against “One-Gun-A-Month” But Fight is Far from Over! | | | | Monday, September 29, 2008 | | | | Respectfully Urge Your State Senator to Oppose S1774! The New Jersey Appellate Division has upheld a ruling by a lower court prohibiting Jersey City and other localities from passing firearms purchase and sale regulations that conflict with state law. In 2006 the Jersey City Council passed an illegal ordinance that prohibited the sale or purchase of more than one handgun within a thirty-day period, which was struck down by a New Jersey Superior Court later that year.
While this is a significant victory for New Jersey’s firearm owners, anti-gun advocates are now demanding passage of statewide legislation (S1774) mandating that New Jersey citizens be prohibited from purchasing more than one-gun-a-month. Your State Senator needs to hear from you today!
New Jersey gun owners are already among the most heavily regulated in the nation and must already submit to fingerprinting and intrusive criminal and mental health background investigations before being certified by the State to purchase handguns. It often takes months for permits to be issued. Further gun rationing on top of an already burdensome permit system is excessive and unreasonable regulation, impacting only honest gun owners.
S1774 would do little to impact crime, because criminals do not purchase firearms from dealers and they do not submit to background investigations. S1774 treats law-abiding citizens like criminals simply for exercising their Constitutional right to own, purchase or sell firearms.
Please contact your State Senator IMMEDIATELY and respectfully urge him or her to oppose S1774 and not arbitrarily limit your Second Amendment rights! Contact information for your State Senator can be found by clicking here. Don’t forget, one gun a month could easily lead to one gun per year or one gun per lifetime. | |

Today, Thursday, October 23, the New Jersey Senate voted 32 to 6 to pass S802, legislation that authorizes bow hunting on Sundays during the respective deer season dates set by the State Fish and Game Code. The bill now heads to the Assembly for consideration. State Senators Stephen Sweeney (D-3) and Kevin O’Toole (D-40) sponsored this NRA-backed bill along with co-sponsors State Senators Jeff Van Drew (D-1) and Steven Oroho (R-24).
