NJ - "Old" 2025 Gun Bills Reintroduced for 2026/27

Per Mark Cheeseman at NJFOS - I added numbering/Bill #'s/Description:

Please note that these are PROPOSED LEGISLATION, not currently in effect as laws/regulations.

1 - S2311 - Provides that firearms purchaser identification card is valid for four years; requires training prior to issuance of firearms cards and handgun purchase permits; revises procedures for passing of firearms to heir or legatee.

2 - S1654 - Increases from 18 to 21 age at which person is eligible to receive firearms purchaser identification.

3 - S1517 - Establishes “Responsibility in Firearms Sales Act”; requires licensing of firearms manufacturers.

4 - S1433 - “New Jersey Safe Storage of Firearms Act”; establishes certain requirements and penalties regarding firearm storage; repeals law governing minor’s access to firearm; requires AG to establish public awareness campaign regarding firearm storage; appropriates $500,000.

5 - S2903 - Establishes “MarcAnthony’s Law;” criminalizes use of defaced or stolen firearm to injure a police officer; enhances penalties for defacing a firearm.

11 - S2312 - Prohibits retail dealers of firearms from being located near certain businesses and facilities.

12 - S2307 - Increases certain firearms permit fees.

Haven’t most of those been fought over already?

This is nothing more then an attempt to drain the financial resources of the pro gun side using taxpayer money, forcing all these bills to be fought over again.

As far as I know there’s nothing preventing re-introduction of a non-passed bill again and again and…

I hate this F*)(#*&# STATE! My God Almighty!!!

Pretty smart anti gun tactics. Push through twelve pieces of legislation, amended or not and pass even one, and they win. Another rung in the ladder.

Because these will help with people doing illegal things.
