Congress struck a bipartisan spending deal that for the first time in over 20 years would include funding for research on gun violence. The bill includes $25 million for research on gun safety to be used by the Center for Disease Control and the National Institute of Health. This occurred on the seventh anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Gun laws in New Jersey regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition, and are among the most restrictive in the country. And, unlike the Federal Constitution, the New Jersey Constitution has no provision explicitly guaranteeing the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
