[take action link is in web alert. I don't usually follow NJ, but
thought it was relevant that sensitive places, training requirements,
etc., are being abused there too. The antis are all following a game
plan laid out by Bloomberg, Giffords, etc.]

New Jersey: Bruen End Run Legislation Nearing the Finish Line
Tuesday, December 6, 2022 New Jersey: Bruen End Run Legislation Nearing the
Finish Line
Anti-gun politicians in New Jersey have debated S.3214 for weeks stretching
into months with final action expected soon. That debate is only an illusion,
however. The outcome was predetermined as Majority Democrats in Trenton are
adamant on jamming through a bill to scuttle your constitutional rights despite
this summer’s landmark decision reaffirming the right to carry.
On Monday, the Senate Budget & Appropriations Committee passed S.3214 on a vote
of 8 to 4. The bill next advances to the full Senate. The Assembly companion
bill has already cleared the Assembly. This legislation started out as a
“copy-cat” strategy, mimicking what New York did to lash out at the Supreme
Court post-Bruen. This bill arbitrarily and drastically expands the number of
places labeled as “sensitive places” where concealed carry is prohibited.
Your immediate assistance is needed to help block S.3214 which is
unconstitutional and will:
· Drastically increase the cost of obtaining permits and credentials.
· Expand the already-rigorous New Jersey training requirements.
· Use social media and online posts as grounds to deny permits.
· Require gun owners to acquire insurance, even though it is not known
whether or not this type of insurance is even available or legal.
· Ban carry on all private property unless the owner posts signage
permitting it.
· Expand the number of “sensitive places” to include arenas, parks,
beaches, restaurants and theatres, among other public places.
· Ban carry at public gatherings.
· Perhaps most offensively, it would create a special class of public
officials who do not need a permit to carry, and these privileged individuals
will be exempt from the no-carry zones.
Ultimately, this bill is virtually guaranteed to trigger immediate litigation.
New Jersey has enough serious problems where the Legislature does not need to
be wasting taxpayer dollars debating and defending legislation that is already
settled law!
Please contact your Senator immediately and respectfully ask them to oppose
S.3214.
