Just introduced today. No bill text available yet, so no details yet.
Speculating this is an attempt to prevent firearms purchases where there is a prohibited person in the home. How they’re going to verify who is/isn’t a “household member” should be interesting,
And who would end up paying for these background checks?
next will be background checks for thanksgiving dinner guests, building contractors any person or persons that you may converse with during the course of a normal day, these commies will not stop.
Don’t forget the dogs… They will probably want to check that too, got a license? Are they vaxxed?!? Sorry but your angry dog has disqualified you.
Stop wasting my money on these bullshit bills! Where is the bill to cut my taxes? Where is the bill to stop crime and increase penalties for offenders? What a bunch of assholes in our statehouse!
Keep over-reaching, assholes. The time will come.
Interesting question I saw raised elsewhere - paraphrasing:
“So if someone is in an abusive relationship with their live-in BF/GF/Spouse and wants to get a firearm to protect themselves, the abuser has to be notified and BG checked?”
Getting a gun to protect yourself is only part of the solution to an abusive live-in BF/GF/Spouse. You also need to get a TRO or bring charges to get them out of the house. The victim still should get a gun because a TRO is just a piece of paper, but it is silly to get a gun because you anticipate having to shoot someone you have taken no other steps to get away from.
Another hypothetical - If someone moves into a shelter to escape an abusive relationship, do all the other residents of that shelter need to be BG checked so the one person can acquire a handgun?
if you moved into a shelter you would have to do a change of address as well.
I’m pretty sure the shelters are going to have a no guns policy. Obviously, an abusive person would be deterred by a sign. /SARC
What problem are they claiming to solve with this?
It is clearly just more restrictive bull feces attempting to disarm more and more people.
That appears to be what it is.
I just sent this to Carol A Murphy. I’m expecting no reasonable response.
Hello,
Please, can you tell me what issue your bill 5210 is supposed to address? Are there a high number of people stealing firearms from other members of their household and committing crimes with them? Please supply those statistics.
If you cannot provide any logical reason for further infringing the rights of NJ residents, please refrain from wasting taxpayer money on pointless, draconian bills.
Trying to look at it through their lens:
Or, maybe it’s just a way to pull through more revenue for campaign funds via IdenToGo (NJ’s official fingerprinting vendor)
More likely the last option. Corzine is looking forward to it.
On the grounds that somebody could do something bad, they should ban everything, including mean words.
On the bright side… If you are single and own guns, and get married, you get to do a BG check on your future spouse lol.
This will go now where!
