> Every member of the household has to get finger printed and BGC’d. Fuck. That. No way to slip a new purchase past your spouse anymore. ---

I don’t think this’ll go anywhere. But if it does, the good news is every time they try to lock down our rights, we get a little bit more in ~5 years when they get overturned. ---

Despite the Supreme Court’s rulings in _Helle_r, _McDonald_, and _Bruen_ (and the plain text of the Second Amendment), New Jersey continues to treat the _right_ to keep and bear arms as a privilege doled out by the state, and a new bill introduced by a Democrat Assemblywoman doubles down on that mindset. [Bill A5210](https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/A5210/bill-text?f=A5500&n=5210_I1), introduced by Burlington County Assemblywoman Carol Murphy, requires every member of a household to [undergo a background check](https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/01/28/new-jersey-assemblywoman-pushing-new-law-to-backdoor-legal-gun-ownership/) when someone purchases or acquires a firearm, even if they have no plans of touching or using the gun in question. > The legislation, which would take effect immediately upon passage, defines a “household member” as any person over the age of 18 who resides with the applicant. > > Reasons for disqualification include criminal convictions, a history of mental health issues, or substance abuse problems. > The law is also vague on marijuana use. While marijuana use is a federal crime, it is legal in New Jersey. During the background check, it will ask if you or anyone in your family uses marijuana. If anyone does, they will be rejected during the federal background check. > More on Bearing Arms ---
