EmailLast week, the New Jersey Senate Law and Public Safety and Veterans’ Affairs Committee passed Senate bill No. 1304 (S1304), sponsored by State Senator John Girgenti (D-35), by a 3 to 1 margin. The legislation will now be heard on the Senate floor Monday, March 17 at 2:00 pm.
This bill, among other things, would raise the penalty for possession of "assault firearms" from a third-degree crime to a second-degree crime, which carries a potential 10-year prison sentence and $150,000 fine. S1304 is an ill-conceived attempt to address gang violence. The bill is likely to have severe unintended consequences for the Garden State’s law-abiding gun owners, such as posing a risk of lengthy incarceration to otherwise law-abiding gun owners who were turned into criminals overnight in 1990 by New Jersey's vague and confusing “assault firearms” ban.
Please contact your State Senator TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to oppose S1304. To contact your State Senator please click here.
