Gov. Phil Murphy wants you to have better access to info about New Jersey's gun violence -- including where the firearms used in those crimes come from.

Murphy on Friday signed an executive order for the state to issue monthly reports online about gun crimes, showing where they occur, how many people were killed or injured, and the type of weapon involved.

And every three months, New Jersey will publish a report listing the states from which those guns originated.

"If it means naming and shaming other states, that's exactly what we're going do," Murphy, a Democrat, said during a news conference at Asbury Park Middle School.

The new governor called it a "new tool that will allow residents to see for the first time the direct impact of gun violence in our community."

"As painful as that may be, we're gonna shine a light on the data," Murphy said. "No one should be lulled into a false sense that gun crimes are some other town's problems or that illegal guns don't impact their communities."

People can already access much of this information by filing open records requests or through the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. But Murphy said this information will be easier for people to obtain.

The first reports will likely be available next month, officials said.

The move comes amid a national debate over the need for more gun control in the wake of the Parkland school shooting and other massacres.

New Jersey already has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, and Murphy said the state has one of the nation's lowest gun mortality rates.

But Murphy said of the 485 gun deaths in New Jersey in 2016, 80 percent of those involved a gun that came from out of state. Those statistics include murders, suicides, and accidents.

"We cannot be blind to the fact that our gun laws are only as good as those in the states around us," Murphy said.

State Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said this order is "a call to action" and a "call to provoke change" in states were gun laws are not as strict.

State Police Superintendent Col. Patrick Callahan said the issue isn't truckloads of weapons being smuggled into New Jersey but a few weapons here and there that are trafficked in other states with more lenient laws.

Gov. Phil Murphy signs an executive order on gun safety Friday at Asbury Park Middle School.

Murphy -- who is in his third month in office -- has repeatedly called for the state's gun laws to be even tighter.

He repeated Friday he's ready to sign six gun bills the state Assembly passed last month -- including ones that would reduce the number of bullets a magazine can hold, as well as making it harder for people deemed a danger to themselves and others to get guns.

The measures still have to be passed by the state Senate before they head to Murphy's desk.

Joining Murphy on Friday was Jaione Murray, a 14-year-old student in Asbury Park who said she's worried about being safe from gunfire -- especially in the wake of the Parkland shooting in February.

"I want to be able to live the normal life of a 14-year-old," Murray said. "But in our world today, the definition of normal seems to have changed. So if being a normal 14-year-old means standing up against gun violence, count me in."
