New Jersey is one step closer to enacting even tougher gun control reforms.

The Democratic-controlled state Legislature approved several firearm bills Thursday that are now ready to be signed into law by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, who has vowed to make the Garden State “a leader in the fight” for gun control across the nation.

The most high-profile bill (A1016/S101) deals with so-called smart guns, or childproof guns that can only be fired by their designated owners. It passed the state Assembly, 51-23, with 2 abstentions and the state Senate 24-13 at the Statehouse in Trenton.

The measure would repeal a 2002 smart gun law and replace it with one requiring every retailer in New Jersey to offer a personalized handgun model for sale.

Lawmakers passed this twice while Republican Chris Christie governor, and Christie vetoed it both times, calling it “reflective of the relentless campaign by the Democratic Legislature to make New Jersey as inhospitable as possible to lawful gun ownership and sales.”

The other measures approved by the Legislature that now head to Murphy are bills that would:

Add convictions of crimes such as carjacking or making terroristic threats to the list of crimes that ban people from buying firearms in the state ( A5454/S3897 ). It passed the Assembly 58-10 with 9 abstentions and the state Senate. 34-1.

Encourage firearm retail dealers and operators of firing ranges in the state to attend a suicide prevention course ( A3896 ). It passed the Assembly 73-0 with 3 abstentions and the state Senate, 37-0.

Make it a third-degree crime for people who aren’t allowed to have a gun who attempt to obtain one ( A4449 ). It passed the Assembly 70-5 with three abstentions and the Senate 57-1.

But the full package of gun bills floating around the Legislature won’t head to Murphy’s desk. That’s because some of them were not voted on by the state Senate, which is headed by Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a more moderate Democrat.

Four measures that cleared the Assembly and weren’t voted on by the state Senate would:

Require firearms to locked away in a container or box when the gun’s owner leaves their home or premises where the gun is allowed to be stored ( A3696/S2240 ). It passed the Assembly 59-15 with 2 abstentions.

Make it a second-degree crime to act as a straw purchaser and a third-degree crime to transport, sell or possess a firearm without a federally licensed serial number ( A5453/S3879 ). It passed the Assembly 58-10 with seven abstentions.

Require people to renew their firearm identification card every four years and show that they have completed a gun safety training course each time they renew the license. Active or retired police officers and former members of the military, however, would be exempt from the rule under the bill ( A5452/S3876 ). It passed the Assembly 43-24 with five abstentions.

Require places that sell handgun ammunition to track their ammunition sales and report them to the State Police ( A5455/S3898 ). They would also be required to make sure people purchasing handgun ammunition are 21 years old, which is the legal age for buying a handgun. It passed the Assembly 52-16 with five abstentions.

Murphy took the unusual step on Wednesday of calling Sweeney out by name for scheduling votes Thursday on a few parts, but not all, of the package of gun control bills.

“The Senate president can do the right thing by moving the entire gun safety package," Murphy said during the event at Westfield’s town hall. "I urge him to do so — the whole package, by the way, not just a few cherry-picked bills.”
