New Jersey: Senate Adds Pair of Gun Bills To Monday’s Agenda
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a fellow resident of New Jersey and your constituent, I urge you to OPPOSE S.3893 and S.3895 when they arrive on the floor. S.3893/A.4974 prescribes penalties for the sale and possession of “machine gun conversion devices.” Such devices are already banned at both the state and federal level. There has never been an explanation why this bill is necessary. Given that New Jersey’s definition would differ from the federal definition, this only makes the water murkier. S.3895/A.4976 establishes the crime of reckless discharge. Discharging a firearm in New Jersey is already a crime unless done “for a lawful purpose,” which is an affirmative defense. Given the lack of exceptions in both existing New Jersey law and this legislation, successfully raising such a defense would be exceedingly difficult. Again, I urge you to OPPOSE these bills. Thank you for all that you do for our state.
Sincerely,
______
