Phil Murphy is the Democrat governor of New Jersey. His state has more than enough to worry about, including soaring crime rates and poverty in its cities, but Murphy has another focus.
He’s focused on guns and gun violence. This is important to patriots because Murphy’s plan for chipping away at gun rights is what the left plans to do on guns as a whole across the country.
In just the past several days, Murphy lavished support on the New Jersey Senate framework to get some “commonsense” gun control ideas in place. However, he notes this is only the first step and much stricter rules are to come.
What Are New Jersey’s New Gun Laws?
The new gun laws reportedly have extra-strong background checks for those under 21. They have much more funding for putting in strict red flag laws that take away gun rights from anyone flagged as a danger to themselves or others.
On the surface, this sounds logical, of course. The problem occurs when you realize this power of decision-making will be handed to the same state and federal governments, which are currently crashing our country and betraying us on a daily basis.
Why would you trust these people with your guns, much less with the right to tell you what kind of socks to wear? They have proven their incompetence and malice every single day.
New Jersey’s Gun Safety 3.0 package, by all reports, is emerging as yet another big government gun grab Nanny State nightmare.
Six years ago today, 49 precious lives were cut short in a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub.
We must honor those we lost with action – starting with passing nationwide commonsense gun safety measures and our Gun Safety 3.0 package here in New Jersey.

Digging Deeper
Digging deeper, we find many of the arguments for gun control from the left are extremely dishonest. We are supposed to believe criminals won’t find a way to get their hands on dangerous weapons if law-abiding gun owners turn ours in?
How does that make sense? Furthermore, how would it prevent horrific massacres like that in Uvalde, which took 19 innocent kids’ lives and those of two teachers?
The killer would clearly have found other means to obtain his weapons, but even more importantly, he would have been stopped by police who were willing to do their jobs and proper school security.
Just days later in Gadsden, Alabama, an armed man wandering onto an elementary school and trying to get in was frustrated by the locked doors. Then, the man was eventually shot dead when he wouldn’t back down.
He never got near the kids.

The Bottom Line
There is a time and a place to talk about gun restrictions and gun safety.
However, even a very strong believer in gun control would be highly naive to leave this in the hands of a Democrat like Phil Murphy. These Democrats have no respect for the truth, common decency, or our Constitution.
