Passes A2777 Without Amendment to Restore Judicial Discretion on Firearms Transportation.

Trenton, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- This afternoon, the New Jersey Assembly passed A2006 (gun ban / mag ban) on a partisan vote of 46-31.

The Assembly also passed A2777 (reasonable deviations in firearms transportation) without the simple one-word amendment that would have made it an incremental improvement over existing law instead of making it worse, on a partisan vote of 42-29 with 4 abstentions.

Full attention is now on the state Senate, which could take the legislation up next week.

Please continue to contact every State Senator by email, and your State Senator by phone and fax, and urge them to oppose S993 (gun ban / mag ban). Please also continue to contact Governor Christie with the same message.
