Of the 180 guns taken off New Jersey streets by police investigating crimes this year, 49 were made by Smith and Wesson, 37 by Taurus and 23 from Glock, among other smaller manufacturers.

Gov. Phil Murphy said Tuesday those gunmakers have to “wake up” to the fact that their products are ending up in the wrong hands.

Last year, state authorities began publishing monthly reports showing the source state for every “crime gun” recovered by police in New Jersey. The data showed of the guns seized by police during criminal investigations were purchased in states known for looser restrictions on firearms like Pennsylvania and Georgia.

On Tuesday, New Jersey officials announced those reports will now identify crime guns by manufacturer. At a news conference in Jersey City, Murphy announced the state was signing on to a national campaign dubbed “Do Not Stand Idly By,” which calls on gunmakers to take steps to prevent gun violence.

“It is my hope that bringing light to this topic will encourage these manufacturers to act responsibly and work with us to stop weapons they make from ending up in the hands of dangerous criminals,” the Democratic governor said.

State Police data released Tuesday shows the manufacturer of every "crime gun" recovered in New Jersey in 2019.

The data, compiled by federal law enforcement and published monthly by the New Jersey State Police, tallies guns seized during the course of criminal investigations, from murders and robberies to guns taken from suspects during arrests.

Authorities acknowledged Tuesday they had not yet shared the data with gunmakers, and spokespeople for the three largest source manufacturers did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun industry trade group, told NJ Advance Media on Tuesday that “if the governor were interested in gun safety,” he would have reached out to gunmakers prior to demanding they take action.

“What the governor is doing is no different than ‘naming and shaming’ car manufacturers for the people who drive drunk with their cars,” he said.

Oliva pointed to a number of campaigns supported by his organization’s members, including the “Don’t Lie to the Other Guy” campaign to raise awareness about straw purchasers, as well as the Fix NICS Act, a federal law passed with bipartisan support that strengthened the federal background check program.

State Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said he hoped the numbers would bring manufacturers to the table to discuss what they could do to curb the flow of guns from legal dealers to violent criminals.

Grewal said gunmakers could “demand that their dealers work to adopt strong measures against straw purchasers” — people legally permitted to purchase firearms and who buy them on behalf of those with criminal backgrounds or other disqualifying factors.

The attorney general said the move could also spur manufacturers to more widely adopt “smart gun” technology that prevents anyone but the registered owner from firing a weapon.

Tuesday’s announcement was the latest development in Murphy’s aggressive push to tighten New Jersey’s gun regulations, which are among the toughest in the U.S.

The governor told reporters he is also pushing ahead with his proposal to hike taxes and fees on firearms and ammunition, which haven’t been increased in more than 50 years.

State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, a fellow Democrat, has been wary of that proposal.

But Murphy said the money, which would go to the state’s general fund without being dedicated to any specific purpose, could "go toward combating trafficking” and “bulking up the ranks of state troopers” in the State Police.

Gun rights advocates have vowed to mount a legal challenge if lawmakers adopt Murphy’s proposal.
