Good Friday morning!
Gov. Phil Murphy is pushing yet another gun control package his third, even if several of the bills
are left over from previous gun legislation pushes.
Those bills stricter ammunition tracking and photo ID requirements for purchases, four-year renewal of gun purchase IDs and lock box home storage rules have something in common besides firearms: They passed the Assembly in 2019 but not the Senate.
Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday defended his use of emergency powers after 13 months, declining to set a sunset date.
He has continued to extend the health emergency every 30 days by issuing a new executive order while also issuing more than 200 other executive orders related to the pandemic.
“It’s not something that we want to be doing. We do it because we have to do it,” he said. “It’s a topic of constant conversation within our team, with our legislative colleagues, and they’ve been great about that.”
Murphy has been under fire for months by Republican lawmakers. But Democrats have also expressed concern, suggesting instead he should be conferring more closely with them about how policies and procedures move forward.
