Bucco Laments Unwillingness of Democrats to Work With Republicans to Ensure Safe, Reasonable & Constitutional Concealed Carry of Firearms

Senator Anthony M. Bucco (R-25) issued the following statement in response to new gun restrictions (A-4769/S-3214) signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy today:

“It’s a shame the Democratic Majority would not work with Republicans to ensure that the concealed carry of firearms can be managed in a safe, reasonable, and constitutional way.

“Instead, they modeled after an extreme and clearly unconstitutional New York law that federal judges have already ruled against with new insurance requirements that may be impossible to meet.

“It’s an overreaching attempt by Democrats to see how far they can go in rolling back the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision while imposing even greater restrictions on law-abiding firearm owners than ever before.”
