On Monday, June 23 the New Jersey General Assembly is scheduled to vote on a bill (A339) that will prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one handgun per 30-day period.
A339, sponsored by Assemblywoman Joan Quigley (D-32), will do nothing to stop the criminal misuse of firearms but would criminalize the purchase of more than one handgun per month by law-abiding citizens who have already undergone extensive background checks and fingerprinting. This gun-rationing scheme falsely assumes that criminals follow the law by submitting the proper paperwork and purchase firearms from licensed dealers. The sponsor believes law-abiding citizens who purchase more than one-gun-a-month are gun traffickers!
Please contact your Assembly members TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose this assault on our Second Amendment rights.
