ACTION ALERT! NJ Bills Target Knife Owners - EMAIL TODAY! Felony Level Offense for Simple Knife Carry! Carry an otherwise legal pocket knife in New Jersey and become a felon! If you live or work in New Jersey, please email your legislators today: LINKS BELOW - FULL ARTICLE with Details at: https://kniferights.org/legislative-upd ... ife-owners

The expected knee-jerk responses by anti-gun rights states and cities to the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Bruen decision upholding the right to carry "arms" for self-defense continues as New Jersey tries to one-up New York and California. All of these new laws and regulations blatantly flaunt the very clear limitations from the Bruen opinion (reaffirming Heller before it). Many of the newly enacted restrictions in New York were recently stopped dead by injunctions issued by federal district courts for the virulently anti-gun Second Circuit.

Despite this, in another doomed effort to strangle gun carry rights clearly acknowledged by Bruen, New Jersey's anti-Bruen bills (A4769 and S3214) are being rammed through the General Assembly and Senate, doubling down on New York's already enjoined unconstitutional statutes while also sweeping knives, and all other "weapons," in with their inane and unenforceable attack on firearm carry.

How New Jersey thinks that including knives and other commonly carried tools and sports equipment in these bills is a good idea is beyond us. But, it's New Jersey and they just can't stand being second worst to New York and California and they have never thought they needed to abide by the Bill of Rights.

If you live in New Jersey or work in New Jersey please use Knife Rights' Legislative Action Center to quickly and easily email your Assemblyperson that will vote on the bill Thursday and to email the members of the New Jersey Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, who are expected to hear the bill Thursday as well.
